Lane Kiffin can't leave Ole Miss, Tennessee alone on social media

Former Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin trolled the Rebels, as well as Tennessee, in an X post on April 25.

Kiffin, now the LSU coach following a dramatic departure after six seasons coaching Ole Miss, reminded the Rebels and Vols how boring their lives would be without him.

"Think about this for a second," Kiffin wrote, tagging the Ole Miss and Tennessee accounts. The post included an image that says, "Imagine how boring your life would be if you didn't have me to annoy you."

Kiffin also coached Tennessee for one season in 2009 before leaving for Southern Cal.

Kiffin was the Ole Miss coach for the 2025 regular season before taking the LSU job. He left before Ole Miss played in the College Football Playoff, not coaching in any of Ole Miss' three CFP games that ended in a semifinals loss against Miami.

Pete Golding was promoted from defensive coordinator to coach as Kiffin's replacement.

Ole Miss plays LSU at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium on Sept. 19. The Tigers also play at Tennessee on Nov. 21.

Ole Miss hosted its Meet the Rebels Day on April 25 in lieu of a spring game.
