If there’s one thing Lane Kiffin seems to enjoy about Twitter, it’s the ability to troll with just a few characters.
Miss Ole’s coach was there again on Sunday with an ambiguous tweet about Louisiana license plates on a BMW. The tweet comes amid speculation about who could fill the LSU coach vacancy, with Kiffin’s name appearing among potential applicants.

What could that tweet mean? That’s anyone’s guess. But here is the situation surrounding the tweet:
About 90 minutes earlier, Lincoln Riley Reportedly Leaving Oklahoma for USC. Saturday night, he closed a question about his future by saying he won’t coach LSU, though the question is never-ending and isn’t specifically about the Tigers.
There is also the fact that Kiffin is often discussed as a potential match for the job and previous potential candidates were disqualified. Penn State’s James Franklin signed an extension and Texas A&M’s Jimbo Fisher Says He’s Going To Be Shut Up to get to LSU. Florida announced on Sunday that Billy Napier would become their next head coach and later released reports that Riley would go to USC; that eliminated two more possibilities.

So does that mean Kiffin will be an option? His tweeting of Louisiana license plates could even be taken as a sign that he won’t take the LSU job and is instead just trying to stir up talk regarding the ball training carousel. university stone. Keep track of private flights and photos of coaches at different airports to keep an eye on what’s going on. Maybe Kiffin is just trying to join the fun.
After all, tweeting like that won’t be well received by Ole Miss, especially after Kiffin has built so much goodwill with the school. Kiffin led Team Rebels to the best regular season finish in the show’s history in his second season, 10-2.

But Kiffin always enjoys the opportunity to troll. When a fan threw a water bottle at him after Tennessee lost to Ole Miss in Knoxville this year, he shared a slow-motion video of him nearly getting caught with one hand.
When Ole Miss’s women’s soccer team beat LSU, Kiffin responded to a tweet about the results by saying “Sissy blue” in a clear quote about LSU coach Ed Orgeron, who set the standard. topic when he describes a UCLA fan’s shirt as “a blue shirt.”
There’s probably not much reason to think this is anything other than Kiffin being Kiffin.
