Ole Miss coach and avid Twitter user Lane Kiffin has responded to a report claiming he’s going to spurn the Rebels for Auburn.
WCBI News’ Jon Sokoloff tweeted Monday night that Kiffin plans on stepping down as Ole Miss coach to fill the Tigers’ head-coaching vacancy in the wake of Bryan Harsin’s firing. The tweet garnered massive amounts of attention, causing the Rebels coach to promptly shut down the speculation by quote-tweeting the report.
“This is news to me,” Kiffin tweeted. “Nice sources.”
A Kiffin reply was imminent; the 47-year-old coach has separated himself from his college football coach counterparts as a notorious Twitter aficionado, somehow making the space his part-time claim to fame.
