Lane Kiffin has officially stepped into his new role as LSU’s head coach-and in true Kiffin fashion, he’s doing it with a little flair and a lot of social media presence.
His first post since the move? A close-up photo of a tiger locking eyes with the camera, accompanied by a single tiger emoji.
No words, no hashtags. Just a silent but unmistakable message: *Geaux Tigers.
Since then, Kiffin has followed up with two more posts that give fans a glimpse into his mindset-and maybe a preview of the tone he’s bringing to Baton Rouge.
The second tweet features a snapshot of a book excerpt with the caption, “Exhale. Have the best Monday ever.”
It’s signed off with a familiar blend of hashtags and emojis: #GodsPlan 🇹🇹🐯. It’s classic Kiffin-part motivational, part cryptic, and entirely on brand.
Then came a third post that LSU fans will love: two photos from the Tigers’ trophy room. One shows the 2020 National Championship trophy, the other, Jayden Daniels’ Heisman Trophy.
No caption necessary. The message is clear-Kiffin is stepping into a program with a championship pedigree, and he’s not shy about embracing it.
But while Kiffin is already repping the purple and gold on the timeline, there are still a few digital remnants of his Ole Miss tenure hanging around. His X bio still lists him as the “Head Coach of @OleMissFB #ComeToTheSip,” and his pinned tweet remains a post from the Rebels’ official account.
That hasn’t gone unnoticed. The replies to his recent posts are filled with fire-from LSU fans welcoming him to Baton Rouge to Ole Miss supporters airing their frustrations. Some critics have even taken shots at the trophy room photos, suggesting that might be the closest Kiffin gets to holding a national title himself.
But if there’s one thing we’ve learned over the years, it’s that Lane Kiffin doesn’t shy away from the noise-he often leans into it. Whether it’s a subtle emoji or a not-so-subtle trophy room flex, Kiffin knows how to stir the pot.
And now that he’s at LSU, one of college football’s most high-profile programs, expect more of the same. The tweets will keep coming, the drama will follow, and Kiffin will continue to be Kiffin-unfiltered, unpredictable, and always worth watching.
