Weeks added his own playful comment to the post.
“Nice dude,” he wrote.
Landry responded, “Thanks bud.”
The so-called hard launch of the relationship came at a suspicious time for both Weeks and Kiffin. The game between LSU and Ole Miss, which is set to take place in Oxford, Mississippi, on Saturday afternoon, is one of the early marquee SEC games of the 2025 season.
