No matter what you may think of FAU coach Lane Kiffin, there’s little debate he’s the most entertaining college football coach to follow on Twitter. The truth is, there’s not even a close second.
While he often pokes and prods at one school or another, it turns out his social media activity can be very calculated. Something Alabama and Tennessee fans should know all too well at this point.
During an interview with Greg McElroy, Lane Kiffin finally admitted there’s one fan base he loves to troll more than any other — none other than Tennessee where he formerly coached for one season before jumping to the USC job.

If you are somehow unfamiliar with Kiffin’s trolling ways online, here is a prime example from Thursday morning. Kiffin is mocking Nick Saban’s “rat poison” comments with this gif of a rat using a mousetrap to do pushups. Of course, Kiffin used the hashtag #RP for rat poison.

There’s no telling which fan base will feel his wrath next but should Tennessee move on from Butch Jones in the near future, something tells me he’s already got a few tweets lined up to unleash on Vol Nation.
