Lane Kiffin Has Launched 3 Jabs at Brian Kelly & Whit Weeks Already

Lane Kiffin loves to stir the pot real hard when it comes to his opponents. And Magnolia Bowl just gave him the perfect chance to hit Brian Kelly right back where it hurts the most. Both teams started it off back in 2008, and since then it’s a tradition that’s rooted in their hearts. And this 24-19 win against LSU feels much more special for Kiffin and his team because it’s their 6th win against the Tigers. So, it’s pretty obvious why Kiffin’s right behind Kelly and his team. But he didn’t leave Whit Weeks out of it, which makes it clear that the game comes first for him.

Ole Miss handed LSU their first ranked loss this season, which makes their SEC score 1-1. Now the real deal behind this loss was Brian Kelly’s offense, which particularly struggled on third downs and only converted 2 of 11 attempts. And their ground game was also ineffective, as they just put up 57 yards and 1 touchdown on 22 carries. This gave Lane Kiffin a perfect moment to take a classic shot at Kelly as he took Rebels mascot Juice Kiffin’s X handle and posted a picture of a hat, which is engraved with “New hat just dropped!” and the caption? Brutal. “Brian Kelly can’t run the dahm ball,” he said.

Then he didn’t just stop at that; he hit X, posting a picture of Brian Kelly’s words before the game kicked off on September 25th that reads, “We’re looking forward to it. We’re going to keep that Magnolia Trophy right here in Baton Rouge, right where it deserves to be, and our guys are excited for the opportunity.” Now that we know it didn’t happen, it tells us perfectly what Kiffin’s trying to point at.

But his sarcastic take on Whit Weeks, who’s also dating his daughter Landry Kiffin, was classic. As ESPN posted his post-game bite on X, Kiffin said, “I’m looking for Whit [Weeks] right now to see if we covered the over.”
