Why Lane Kiffin is trolling Tennessee football (again) alongside Tee Martin
Lane Kiffin can't seem to get Tennessee football out of his mind or off his social media account.
His latest trolling strategy centers around hiring former Vols quarterback Tee Martin to his LSU coaching staff.
On April 20, Kiffin posted a video on X from the LSU weight room. In it, Martin is wearing LSU gear and talking to a player whose face isn't visible on camera. Kiffin walks up and interrupts their conversation.
"Hey, quit sitting around. Get to work," Kiffin says to Martin. "He's got to go to Knoxville, Tennessee, bro."
In January, Kiffin landed UT edge rusher Jordan Ross out of the transfer portal. Ross was a five-star recruit out of high school and projected to start for the Vols in the 2026 season. Instead, he went to LSU, where Kiffin had just been hired away from a playoff-bound Ole Miss team.
The only text in Kiffin's X post was tagging @Vol_Football, Tennessee's official football account.
It's the latest attempt by Kiffin, the ex-Tennessee coach, to poke at his former employer and the Big Orange fan base. He's found new material for trolling at LSU this offseason.
Kiffin will return to Knoxville when LSU plays Tennessee at Neyland Stadium on Nov. 21.
