Lane Kiffin a fraud? Fans, media blast Ole Miss coach for ‘laying another egg’ against Alabama
By Keith Farner
Published:
Lane Kiffin made a splash all week on social media and in press conferences about Alabama’s defensive coordinator, and how the Crimson Tide dynasty may be crumbling. He even dismissed that the Alabama game is his “Super Bowl.”
Down by 2 touchdowns, the chatter from fans and media focused on Kiffin, and how he’s in another up-hill battle against Alabama as he came into the game 0-4 against Nick Saban.
With less than 5 minutes remaining in the game, and the score 24-10 Alabama, Ross Tucker on CBS said, “I’m confused by some of these play calls … I don’t know about all these jet sweeps.”
That drive ultimately ended after 15 plays and 55 yards after 6:09 off the clock, as a 4th down and 16 pass fell incomplete from the Alabama 18-yard line.
Here’s a sample of the reactions:
Lane Kiffin got all this attention on the Alabama game just to lay another egg in a big game

3rd straight year, Ole Miss has had the team to beat Bama
3rd straight year Lane pokes the GOAT on game week for social buzz
3rd straight year Bama beats Ole Miss
When you put Bama on a pedestal, not only does your team feel it…but so does Bama
Time for a new approach

Another classic sloppy performance from a Lane Kiffin team against Alabama/Saban. Missed FG, blocked punt etc. That game was so available to be extended in 1H

Lane may have to figure out a new approach to this game. Alabama’s defense is certainly salty but Ole Miss has really played poorly and hasn’t done anything with the opportunities they’ve had.

Ole Miss has committed a coaching felony by the way they let this game against Alabama get away from them. Lane Kiffin is another Deion Sanders ?

Ole Miss making a mid-bad Bama team look vintage. Lane Kiffin has a lot of y’all fooled…

@Lane_Kiffin put your phone down, stop drinking and learn football. Pathetic performance today. You should be embarrassed.

Lane Kiffin embarrassed himself today, that was a prime opportunity for them and they pussy footed around in the 2nd half, scrubs
