Lane Kiffin is one of those rare coaches who stays connected with his former players, even after moving on to a new gig. Now at LSU, Kiffin proved that his social media game is as strong as ever. He recently took to X to poke some fun at Jaxson Dart, his former quarterback at Ole Miss, who’s now with the New York Giants.
Dart, who was a standout in Kiffin’s offense, recently appeared in some playful photos dressed in what can only be described as Thanksgiving-themed attire. Kiffin’s response? A simple crying-laughing emoji and a direct tag, keeping things light-hearted and showing their bond is still intact.
During his time at Ole Miss, Dart shattered records, throwing for over 10,600 yards and 72 touchdowns, even surpassing Eli Manning’s school passing record. His performance earned him a first-round draft pick by the Giants, a testament to the dynamic offense he ran under Kiffin.
But while Kiffin’s social media antics grab attention, he’s got bigger fish to fry at LSU. With Spring Camp just around the corner, he’s focused on solidifying his team’s infrastructure.
The Tigers have made significant moves, promoting Jon Randall Belton to Assistant General Manager for External Operations and bringing in Adam Clark from NC State for Internal Operations. Carl St.
Cyr has stepped into an Assistant Director of Player Personnel role, and Dwike Wilson, who followed Kiffin from Ole Miss, is now the Executive Director of Recruiting and Personnel.
Adding to the lineup, LSU snagged Tee Martin as an offensive analyst, fresh off his stint with the Baltimore Ravens. With the nation’s top recruiting class already in his pocket, featuring nine Top-100 prospects, Kiffin’s ready to turn these off-field wins into on-field success.
While the playful jab at Dart was fun, the real focus is on the upcoming practices. Kiffin’s got his eyes on the prize, and with the talent he’s assembled, the Tigers are poised for an exciting season.
