Kiffin reposted the video of Golding's comments on April 30, writing, "Love you too @CoachGolding. Hope you beat (Georgia coach Kirby Smart) in golf also," in response.
"Think about this for a second," Kiffin wrote in a post on X, tagging the Ole Miss and Tennessee football accounts. The post included an image that says, "Imagine how boring your life would be if you didn't have me to annoy you."
Golding, who was promoted to head coach after serving as Kiffin's defensive coordinator for three seasons, said Kiffin even sends some of his jabs via text message, something he did even while he and Golding worked together.
Despite the negative reaction some of Kiffin's previous comments have generated from the Ole Miss community, Golding made it clear that the two are still on good terms.
"I hope him success and all that, and appreciative for the opportunity he created for me when I was there and everything else," Golding said. "So there's no bad blood between coach Kiffin and I."
