Late Monday night, the athletic director of WCBI News in Mississippi, Jon Sokoloff, detonated a grenade in the college’s football carousel by reporting that Ole Miss Lane coach Kiffin would take credit. Auburn’s head coach job. Sokoloff’s tweets has specifically stated that Kiffin is about to be appointed Auburn coach and that he will step down on Friday following Thursday’s Egg Bowl clash with Mississippi State.

Kiffin later tweeted a printout of a typed report that attempted to turn the tide by alluding to Sokoloff is leaving his station for WLOX. Kiffin’s disqualification as Auburn’s next coach before the Egg Bowl would make things untenable for Kiffin, which explains why he mocked the report.

Interestingly, his mocking Sokoloff is not a complete denial. He didn’t even try to say Sokoloff was wrong. A year ago, Lincoln Riley firmly stated that he “won’t be the next head coach at LSU.” Riley may be awarded points for honesty and deducted points for making misleading statements. Lane Kiffin better not leave Ole Miss right now because he’s digging himself into an even deeper hole when he should be messing up the rumor mill.

The authenticity of Sokoloff’s advice remains unclear, but we won’t have a definite answer until Auburn appoints Kiffin, interim coach Cadillac Williams, or someone else as head coach. next team. However, Sokoloff is reputable as an information broker. On October 29, he reported that Mississippi State athletic director John Cohen will fill the AD vacancy at Auburn days before his hiring is announced. There was clearly smoke, and Sokoloff’s communications system was solid.

However, Kiffin is a master gas burner. Kiffin’s corny tweets didn’t even quell the rumors. If anything, his focus is on being as sharp as possible. He’s one of the most online coaches in college football, and he thrives on Elon Musk’s Twitter. Before Sokoloff spread rumors about Auburn, Kiffin made sure to let everyone know that he was focusing on preparing for the Egg Bowl and not on the Auburn opening.

Kiffin’s mocking tone in his tweets makes clear the attraction he has to his recruits. When you realize that he’s still a teenager mentally, everything makes sense. Trolling, Twitter prank, immaturity. He’s your coach acting as your friend while Kelly or Nick Saban radiates the strict fatherly energy.

Ole Miss also denied Sokoloff’s report, which hopefully doesn’t mean they don’t know who their coach is either. Kiffin and his pounding attack succeeded at Ole Miss. Before their back-to-back defeats in November, Rebels was a show that ranked in the top 10. Ole Miss will hold onto Kiffin for as long as possible, but the Kiffin era is probably coming to an end and the Rebels look like as in denial.

We met Kiffin when he became head coach of the Oakland Raiders at the age of 31 in 2010. He left Oakland in turmoil. Kiffin then left Tennessee in a tornado for USC and was abandoned by Trojans Athletic Director Pat Haden on the tarmac at Los Angeles International Airport. On the night Kiffin quit his last SEC job in Tennessee, fans rioted outside the complex where his resignation press conference was held. Avoiding a bad storm this time around might be worth keeping the look for a few more days.
