Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin is the most followed SEC football Twitter personalities.
But the former USC, Tennessee and Oakland Raiders head coach keeps a pretty low profile on social media.
With nearly 62,000 Twitter followers eyeing his 110 Tweets to date, he decided to make No. 111 a special shout out to one of his more famous pupils.
Except it wasn’t a message from Lane. It was from his son, Knox.
Apparently, Knox wanted to send former Alabama WR Amari Cooper a “Happy Easter” dab pic in front of the 2015 NFL first-round pick’s jersey:

Cooper was amused, sending a response back to Knox almost immediately:
@Lane_Kiffin Haha, Happy Easter big fella.

Cooper had a monster rookie season with the Raiders, earning a Pro Bowl selection and the distinction of having the most catches by any NFL player under the age of 21. He was also the first Oakland Raiders receiver to break the 1,000-yard threshold since Randy Moss in 2005.
