Lane Kiffin savagely trolls Mississippi journalist over report of departure for Auburn
Lane Kiffin reached deep into his bag of Twitter tricks to troll a Mississippi television sports director over a report that he would step down from Ole Miss to take the Auburn head coaching job on Friday after the Egg Bowl.
WCBI-TV sports director Jon Sokoloff on Monday reported that sources had told him that Kiffin would resign on Friday for the Tigers’ job. Kiffin offered a rebuttal just over an hour later, tweeting “That’s news to me Jon” and “Nice sources”.
Kiffin wasn’t done, though. For reference, here’s Sokoloff’s tweet:
BREAKING: #OleMiss HC Lane Kiffin plans to step down as the Rebels coach Friday and head to Auburn to become the Tigers next head coach, according to sources
Sources say the Tigers haven’t officially offered the job to anyone yet.
So Lane to Auburn is happening. Story soon.

Following his original response, Kiffin followed it up with a priceless troll:

For reference, WLOX, located in Biloxi, Miss.
Many would say that Kiffin would be better served to stay off Twitter and focus on beating Mississippi State on Thursday. No matter who you are, though, you have to admit that his Twitter game remains undefeated in the SEC.
Never change, Lane Kiffin.
