Whoever runs the Ole Miss Rebels social media accounts had some fun at Lane Kiffin’s expense this week.

The official Ole Miss football X.com account tweeted a throwback video of former Rebels running back Dexter McCluster's huge day against the Tennessee Vols in 2009.

McCluster rushed for 282 yards and four touchdowns and caught four passes for 42 yards in the Rebels' 42-17 win against the Vols nearly 16 years ago.

Kiffin, who is entering his sixth season as the head coach at Ole Miss, was Tennessee's head coach in 2009.

The former Volunteers head coach reacted to the tweet with the "face slap" emoji.

In typical Kiffin fashion, he dropped a classic quote back in 2009 after the blowout loss to Ole Miss.

"Obviously we played a really good team and a great player today," said Kiffin after losing to Ole Miss in 2009. "We didn't' have a way to tackle him today. He set the school record for rushing yards, and we probably set the school record for missed tackles."

McCluster was a second round selection in the 2010 NFL Draft. He played seven seasons in the NFL and reached the Pro Bowl in 2013.
