Lane Kiffin Roasted on Social Media as Florida Shatters Ole Miss’s Playoff Dreams

In this story:
Let's face it: things haven't gone well for Mississippi State this fall.
The Bulldogs are among the worst teams in college football as they host Missouri on Saturday, still looking for their first SEC victory of the year.
One good thing that has happened this year for Mississippi State though is that their biggest rival won't be going to the College Football Playoff.
Ole Miss was upset at Florida on Saturday and handed its third loss of the year. As a result, Lane Kiffin and the Rebels will be heading to the likes of the Capital One Bowl instead of the College Football Playoff.
College football fans and observers took to social media after the upset, roasting Lane Kiffin in the process. Below are some of the best posts.
Unprepared Ole Miss
I don't like to speak in hyperbole when it comes to this business because sports narratives are diametrically opposed to being a sports bettor

HOWEVER...
Lane Kiffin not having his team prepared to play this week is inexcusable on every single level
Not Once, Not Twice, But Three Times...
Credit to Jaxson Dart and Lane Kiffin for finding a way to lose that game 3 separate times

Lane Kiffin Getting Jabs from USC Sites Even
Pete Carroll usually had one bad game per season at USC.

Lane Kiffin usually has three bad games a year as a head coach.
It makes you appreciate Pete even more.
Overrated Kiffin
Lane Kiffin is the most overrated football coach in the country and it’s not close.

Failure by Kiffin and Company
Lane Kiffin losing three games at Ole Miss with the schedule they got from the SEC this year plus the talent on this roster is an absolute failure of a coaching job

Didn't See This One Coming
Billy Napier and Ron Roberts out coaching Lane Kiffin and Pete Golding and what I think is the best team in the SEC wasn’t on my bingo card.

It’s amazing what a brilliant young QB and some belief will do.
