Lane Kiffin’s pregame comment on Saturday backfired, and the Ole Miss head coach had a great reaction.
Kiffin conducted an interview with CBS’ Jamie Erdahl before his team’s game against Alabama on Saturday. He ended it by telling fans to get their popcorn ready.
However, Ole Miss failed to put on a show. Alabama got out to a 28-0 halftime lead against Kiffin’s Rebels. As a result, Kiffin became the target of numerous jokes.
The 46-year-old head coach humorously told offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby at halftime that the Rebels forgot to plug in the microwave.
Kiffin even poked fun at himself over Twitter with a facepalm emoji and emoji of a plug.
We appreciate the confidence from Kiffin, and at least he owned it after his team laid an egg.
Ole Miss is now 3-1 and hosts Arkansas on Saturday. The Rebels have an opportunity to quickly forget about the Bama game and rebound with a win.
