According to a report by LouisianaSports.Net, the plane picked up several of Kiffin's family members, including Lane's ex-wife, Layla, in Oxford and flew them to Baton Rouge to show them around town.
Reports from Oxford on Sunday say that Layla took a similar trip to Gainesville, Fla., over the weekend.
