Texas Longhorns head football coach Steve Sarkisian directed criticism at the University of Mississippi’s academics, using the phrase “basket weaving” to characterize the curriculum. The remark came one day after Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin made his own controversial comments, according to an ESPN report.
The summary of the situation did not disclose the exact content of Kiffin’s initial remarks or the full context of Sarkisian’s jab. The phrase “basket weaving” is commonly understood as a dismissive reference to courses perceived as academically lightweight.
Florida Gators head coach Jon Sumrall also weighed in on the matter, though the nature of his comments was not specified in the source. The exchange appears to be part of a broader verbal sparring among Southeastern Conference football coaches.
