Landry Kiffin no longer has to choose between love and family following her father's mega-money move to LSU.
After leaving the college football world on tenterhooks for almost 48 hours, head coach Lane Kiffin, 50, revealed that he had left Ole Miss for a $91million, seven-year deal with the Tigers on Sunday afternoon.
While her dad was jetting down to Baton Rouge, Landry, a junior at Ole Miss, was partying on Nashville's iconic Broadway.
And the 20-year-old had plenty of cause for celebration while hitting the Honky Tonks as the decision united her father with her boyfriend.
Landry made waves earlier in the season when it was revealed that she was in a relationship with LSU's star linebacker Whit Weeks just days before the Tigers' showdown against her dad and the Rebels in September.
Ahead of the game in Mississippi, the daughter of the then-Ole Miss head coach 'hard launched' her new boyfriend in an Instagram photo.

The 20-year-old Weeks, star of the recent Netflix college football series, also posted the same photo to his own social media, causing carnage between the fanbases.
It was the first time that the couple had been pictured together and their blossoming romance sparked multiple conspiracy theories with many claiming that Landry was a double agent attempting to get in the Tigers' heads.
Lane didn't take long to comment on the relationship, insisting in a social media post that his daughter would be 'rooting for the Rebs.'
However, that may no longer be the case. With Lane and Weeks united in the Bayou, her loyalties will no longer have to be split.
Following Lane's announcement, Weeks seemingly welcomed his new coach - and girlfriend's dad - with open arms.
Weeks reshared a social media post from Barstool's Ole Miss account, which included the photo of the linebacker and Landry with the caption: 'We were blind.'
'YA LOVE TO SEE IT,' Weeks wrote over the post.
He also shared a gameday photo of him suited up for the Tigers making a crying gesture, adding a pair of laughing emojis.

Landry is the eldest daughter of Lane and his ex-wife Layla, whom the coach split from in 2016 following 12 years of marriage.
She is currently a student at Ole Miss and was reportedly a big reason that he stayed in Oxford, Mississippi when Auburn attempted to poach him back in 2022, shortly after she had started her studies at the university.
'Me and my friends we made this slideshow … that we knew he'd find sad and really just rethink his decision. … After that, he told us he was gonna stay. So, it worked!' she said in the ESPN documentary 'The Many Lives of Lane Kiffin.'
However, with both her dad and her boyfriend now down in Baton Rouge, it is unclear if she will be following suit.
Lane and Layla, who reportedly recently reconciled, also share younger daughter, Presley and son, Knox.
Presley currently plays volleyball at the University of Southern California as a freshman outside hitter.
Meanwhile, Knox, the couple's youngest, is a sophomore quarterback at Oxford High School in Mississippi and a Class of 2028 recruit.
With the teenager still needing to finish his high school studies, it appears that he will enroll at a new school in Louisiana as he shared am apparent goodbye social media post on Sunday thanking Oxford.
