July 7, 2025

Ole Miss Rebels Head Coach Lane Kiffin has always been one of the more entertaining college football coaches on social media to follow. With an established dry sense of humor, few are better at brutally trolling opponents than Kiffin.

Over the weekend, the leader of the Rebels let one of his most hated rivals — Auburn’s Head Coach Hugh Freeze — have it on X regarding the latter’s time spent on golf courses despite struggles on the recruiting trail for the Tigers.

Kiffin went back and replied to one of Freeze’s tweets from a few weeks ago that included a photo of the Auburn coach on a golf course and commented on Freeze’s game.

Great job Coach!! Game is on ? https://t.co/EluxmXfkZc

Freeze played over 11 rounds of golf in the month of June and was the subject of substantial scrutiny, especially as the Tigers lost key commitments in a matter of days.
