Lane Kiffin is not shy with his Twitter account, and while sometimes his tweets can take some time to figure out, his tweet on Monday was pretty direct. Kiffin tweeted the ESPN FPI chances for teams to win Conference USA, which has Kiffin’s Florida Atlantic atop the list, and included a troll of his former boss, Nick Saban.
“Please stop media,” Kiffin tweeted. “This is rat poison to our players!!”

The rat poison reference is a quote from Saban, who criticized the positive media coverage of his team after Alabama beat Texas A&M, 27-19, this past Saturday.
