The LSU Tigers have a bowl game today, but new head coach Lane Kiffin won’t be on the sidelines leading the team for that one. He did, however, take a shot at his former team the Ole Miss Rebels with a post in one of the strangest ways possible.

The 50-year-old coach broke the hearts of the Ole Miss team and fans as the end of November we he announced her was leaving them team after six seasons to go to Louisiana right when the Rebels made their first College Football Playoff.

Ole Miss won its first playoff game where their former coach Kiffin had an obnoxious post, and is set to play on January 1 vs. the Georgia Bulldogs in the Sugar Bowl. In the meantime, LSU was just 7-5 and playing the Houston Cougars on Saturday in the Kinder’s Texas Bowl.

Kiffin posted on his private jet (one of the many perks in his contract) touting game day.

Then he drove a dagger into Ole Miss fans’ hearts by posting this photo of an LSU touchdown celebration with Rebels players in the background with one on the ground.

The crazy part is it was Kiffin’s team that gave up the TD and lost that game — something Ole Miss fans pointed out.

The coach certainly knows how to troll on social media and this latest example certainly won’t sit well in Oxford, Mississippi.
