In a triumphant conclusion to the 2023 season, Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin celebrated a decisive victory in the Peach Bowl against the Penn State Nittany Lions. The Rebels asserted their dominance on the field, securing a final score of 38-25.
Adding a personal touch to the celebration, Kiffin shared the moment with his girlfriend, Sally Rychlak, an Ole Miss alumna and the current Major Gift Officer at SMU. Kiffin captured the post-game festivities with a photo, accompanied by the caption: “#38-25 Great scoreboard in this pic!!!”
The image quickly went viral, prompting inquiries about Kiffin’s girlfriend. We received some information regarding their relationship.
Exclusive information obtained following the viral post revealed that Sally Rychlak’s family is not entirely pleased with her relationship with the college football coach. Sources indicated that they prefer someone closer to her age and are not fans of Kiffin’s public image, particularly his past marriage and family situation with three children.

Interestingly, social media discussions centered around the significant age gap between the couple after the post went viral.
Before dating Rychlak, Kiffin was married to Layla Reaves from 2004 to 2016, with whom he shares three children. Despite the family dynamics, Kiffin maintains a positive relationship with his children.
Sally Rychlak, an alumna of the University of Mississippi with a marketing degree earned in 2019, is presently a Major Gifts Officer at Southern Methodist University. Hailing from Memphis, Tennessee, Rychlak attended St. Agnes Academy before joining Ole Miss. During her time at Mississippi, she was involved in various organizations, including the Student Marketing Association, Alpha Kappa Psi, Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society, Phi Kappa Phi, and Beta Gamma Sigma Business Honor Society.
After graduating in 2019, Rychlak worked as a Pure Barre instructor in Oxford, Mississippi, for four years before returning to SMU as a Major Gift Officer in 2023.
While Kiffin and Rychlak kept their relationship private until recently, they have been dating for a considerable period. Rychlak shared pictures of them together on Kiffin’s birthday last May, suggesting a close bond. Our insider also notes that Rychlak is already quite close to Lane Kiffin’s family. However, the same cannot be said for Kiffin’s relationship with Sally’s family, given their reservations about the union.
As we continue to observe this relationship, it is worth noting that family dynamics can sometimes pose challenges, even in the most promising of connections.
