Ole Miss officials and coach Lane Kiffin apologized for since-deleted tweets sent from the official Ole Miss football account trolling former Rebels coach Hugh Freeze after the Rebels' 27–14 victory over Liberty.
"These tweets were unfortunate and not who we are in Ole Miss athletics," Ole Miss athletics director Keith Carter told ESPN. "When I found out about them, they were immediately taken down. I have spoken with [Liberty athletic director] Ian McCaw to relay my sincere apology. We will work to do better in the future."
One of the tweets included an photo of Freeze coaching from his hospital bed as he recovered from surgery, which was for a possibly life-threatening staph infection that entered his bloodstream.
