Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin has had an up-and-down relationship with Tennessee, but he’s rooting for the Vols in their NCAA baseball super regional matchup with Arkansas.
Kiffin made his rooting interest clear in a social media post wishing the Vols his best. Tennessee (46-17) is locked in a tight game against the Razorbacks (46-13) at Baum-Walker Stadium.
Kiffin was the football coach at Tennessee in 2009. Many Vols fans soured on Kiffin after he left the job after one season to coach at Southern Cal.
Kiffin has had memorable moments at Neyland Stadium since returning to the SEC as Ole Miss’ coach in 2020. He had a golf ball and a mustard bottle thrown in his direction in Ole Miss’ 31-26 win at Tennessee in 2021.
Kiffin seemingly still has a soft spot for the Vols; but he has also trolled his former team’s fans over baseball games.
