'He's doing amazing at that, so that's great for him': Lane Kiffin takes hilarious jab at rival SEC head coach's golf game
Brett Patzke-USA TODAY Sports

Leave it to Lane Kiffin to create some headlines on SEC Media Day. The Ole Miss head coach has delivered some gems over the years, even if he's not always trying to troll everyone or be a nuisance. He simply calls it like he sees it with some humor, and his delivery is fantastic.

One of Ole Miss' SEC rivals, Auburn, has built a healthy back-and-forth between Kiffin and the Tigers' head coach, Hugh Freeze. The two have jabbed each other over social media a bit, including some fishing-related responses.

Kiffin made sure to explain his approach to Freeze before revealing what he's heard about his golf game.

"I have a thing with him going back years ago when he posted a picture in response to me of some two-pound bass or something like that, so I've always posted bigger fish back towards him. It was nothing to do with his golf game."

And then, Kiffin delivered the hilarious punch.

Continuing on Freeze's golf game, Kiffin added, "Which sounds he's doing amazing on, so, that's great for him."

The text of it is funny, but the video is even more awkward and fitting. Kiffin didn't seem to have planned to throw some heat at Freeze, but his ability to whip up a story a deliver it in a deadpan way is something fans should appreciate.

Kiffin has beaten Freeze the two times they've faced off. The Rebels beat Liberty in 2022 and then Auburn in 2023. Unfortunately, these programs won't see each other once again in 2025.

We'll see if Freeze has any response when its his turn on the podium.
