When asked about speculation he could replace Gus Malzahn at Auburn, Lane Kiffin finds creative way to troll Nick Saban
Leave it to Lane Kiffin to turn a coaching job question into a troll of another coach.
He may be the only coach in the nation that could pull that one off.
During Kiffin’s latest press conference to open LSU Week, which he arrived to wearing a “Merry Flipmas” t-shirt, Kiffin was asked to comment on the speculation that he will be a target for the Auburn job following Gus Malzahn’s firing on The Plains.
The way Kiffin views those rumors, that’s just part of the job when your players are performing well on the field.
“That’s just a product of when your players play well, you are going to be in rumors like that,” Kiffin answered when asked about the Auburn speculation. “There have been no conversations, anything like that.”
Before moving on to another question, Kiffin then got creative and found a way to mock Nick Saban.
“I wanted to say what I learned from my mentor,” Kiffin added. “You know, if you guys keep asking this, I’m going to have to tell you, I will not be the next head coach at Alabama, okay! So stopping asking me.
“I wasn’t suppose to say that but I just had to.”
If you didn’t get the reference, Nick Saban famously said he would not be the next Alabama coach during his time with the Miami Dolphins.
Of course, we all know that wasn’t the truth:
Kiffin is Spurrier 2.0!!
Also, Saban has been saying “aight” for years now!! Never knew Saban had so much……..”urbanism” (that’s actually a word)
Honestly if I were an Ole Miss fan. That answer would worry me if I liked Kiffen!!! At auburn he would be DANGEROUS! Because he can recruit and auburn does get the athletes!!!
I know he was being funny. But after Saban said that. He was at Alabama shortly after! So, was that Kiffen saying. If auburn offers me. I’m going to be the coach???
Honestly I hope auburn gets someone good. Not for the university that fired Gus. But for the fans. They deserve a good coach. Imagine watching Georgia tech being a DYNASTY. All while knowing. You deserve a piece of the pie!!! It’s not like Auburn is west Texas school for pillow making or something. I remember when Auburn ran the state of Alabama. Bo Jackson, and all the great players they’ve had!!! Even Cam Newton and Nick Fairly. I mean auburn has a tradition to! I’M A UGA FAN. BUT I FEEL FOR AUBURN FANS.
AUBURN FANS…..
Most of the ones on here are pretty classy!!! They live with the Alabama problems like UGA has. But to me they remain pretty classy! WE ALL TALK TRASH. THAT IS ALL IN FUN!!!!!!!
But I’m wishing Gus well and the auburn fans to. It’s Florida and those fans I’m not crazy about. But not all of them are terrible either. But we are hated rivals!!! This is the Christmas season. So let’s remember that and Christ. Good luck to Alabama. I hope they destroy Florida. But for those few Florida fans who aren’t rude. I feel a little sorry for you. But hey it should have been UGA playing Saturday night in the SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. So understand how I feel to. Honestly I feel real sorry for LSU FANS. They need to part with Orgeron and do it gladly!!!
I feel bad for UGA players. The ones leaving. Because they could have won it all this year or at least been in the playoffs! I WISH THEY WOULD ALL COME BACK!!! THEY CAN IF THEY WISH!!!! I’M A UGA FAN BUT NO, IM NOT FEELING SORRY FOR MYSELF. I’M POOR AND HAVE LOTS OF PROBLEMS. BUT I’M BLESSED AND CAN’T COUNT THE WAYS!!!! Starting with the fact. I’M ALIVE AND STILL HAVE PEOPLE WHO LOVE ME!!! AND I HAVE ETERNAL HOPE. THANKS TO THE REASON FOR THIS SEASON. CHRIST WHO DIED FOR ME. THANK YOU MY LORD!!!!!
PS. God bless everyone. It’s been a fast and weird season. Not the best for UGA. But far from the worst!!!! I hope we get plenty of bowl games. And hopefully the off season goes by quickly! Spring football will be here soon enough.

King, i knew you had it in you. Thanks for being humble. Hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas.
Have you ever considered publishing some of these comments in book form? They would be easier to read in that format and I need some Christmas ideas.
I’ve always used the term but never really knew how to spell it until I saw CNS quotes or saw the script from Billy Bob in slingblade.
Yea this reminds me of daniel tosh reading the nick saban autobiography to children lol. That and kiffins krimson korner were hilarious
If Kiffin says the only way he leaves Ole Miss is in a pine box, the Rebel Black Bears will start to worry.
“Did ya ever have the feeling that you wanted to go, then ya have the feeling that ya wanted to stay…..stay, go. I STAY! I GO! Umpbriago!!!(a favorite line from an old B&W Christmas movie)
Not going to predict whether he comes to auburn or not, but the lead up week to the Iron Bowl would be a hoot if he did. Lol
That would be something to behold. First, in the same conference. Then, in the same state. Hmmm.
J0256 had it right, Kiffen is Spurrier’s mini-me. Everything he says, does, wears, has an intent. Usually that intent is to ruffle a feather somewhere. You can always tell when Saban is lying, he looks away or down. Urban-liar was so good he can look you in the eye and do it.
