Ad Disclosure
Former Tennessee head coach and Alabama OC Lane Kiffin has never been one to hide his feelings. Oftentimes he has taken to Twitter to get his message across.
Some are his own tweets, but Kiffin sometimes retweets what he’s thinking but other people are saying. Here are 25 of his best tongue-in-cheek tweets and retweets meant to amuse and enrage. Most are post-Alabama tweets, but not all.

If he’d paid this much attention when he was there he might’ve been allowed to stay and coach in the National Championship Game.

(Retweet) Yeah, Tennessee still loves you.

Over Allen’s comments in an article for al.com; “We love to get Lane Kiffin yelled at and fired up in practice,” Allen said with a grin. “That’s our goal.”

Haunting USC and Tennessee perhaps?
Chase Moabury, son of a board of trustee, convinced Kiffin to use his Twitter account to post these jokes. So, no, Kiffin hasn’t gone completely off the deep end …. Well, maybe …
