Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin has a long history with Tennessee. Now, he’s taken to Twitter to troll the Volunteers.

Kiffin’s son Knox, who Lane denies was named after Knoxville, posted a video of himself working out at quarterback on Twitter. Lane then quote-tweeted his son, saying, “@Vol_Football Bring the boy home.”

You can watch the video and see Lane Kiffin’s latest troll job, here:

Lane Kiffin took the Tennessee job in 2009. He spent one season there, going 7-6. He then, famously, left Tennessee for USC. At the time, this departure upset a lot of people within the Tennessee Volunteers community and many fans seemingly never forgave him. That much was obvious when Ole Miss traveled to Neyland Stadium in 2021, which saw things like golf balls and mustard bottles thrown on the field.

As for Kiffin himself, he clearly remembers his time at Tennessee and isn’t likely to stop trolling the Volunteers at any chance he gets.

Lane Kiffin praised the Pete Golding hire

Lane Kiffin, a former Nick Saban assistant himself, was able to lure Alabama defensive coordinator Pete Golding to Ole Miss. Now, he’s praised that hire, calling it a ‘five-star.’

“That was really awesome. We’re talking about signing day, and we’re talking about stars. That signing is as five-star as you can get. This has nothing to do with the, ‘You’re beating Alabama,’ and all of that. This is a great coach that everyone that’s worked with him has always said from the beginning. Even when he was at smaller places before that. He was brilliant, upcoming. Coach Saban even talked about it. He was one of the best interviews that, in the first interview when he interviewed him. So just an unusual situation that someone, at the top of their game, you get to come here,” Kiffin said.

“I’ve never — some family things that helped us there. His wife’s family is from here. So that was great. Kind of like in recruiting, there’s advantages. We’re really excited for them to come, he and his family to be here and to help us. Not just on defense. Obviously schematically, like he will. He’s been a phenomenal recruiter too. One that we’ve had to go against.”
