Lane Kiffin burned some bridges on his way out of Mississippi, so why not go full scorched earth?
The former Ole Miss coach seemed to send a message to Rebels QB Trinidad Chambliss before Kiffin was introduced as LSU football’s new coach.
Kiffin posted on X a passage from ‘The Pivot Year’ on Monday morning, accompanied by a Trinidad & Tobago flag and tiger emoji.
“Let the seams unravel and reform your entire life the way you really intend for it to be. When you are forced to let go, you are also asked to exhale. What does not is not mean to. If you are not certain, wait. Time reveals all truth, all knowing, all reality that will come to be. It will all become clear.”
While Chambliss is not from Trinidad nor named after the Caribbean Island, Ole Miss fans have flown the nation’s flags around Oxford in support of their starting quarterback.
Chambliss, who transferred in from Division II Ferris State after leading the Bulldogs to a national title, will hope to to do the same for Ole Miss as the Rebels are all but certain to compete in this month’s College Football Playoff. He’s thrown for 3,016 yards with 18 touchdowns to just three interceptions.
A senior, Chambliss has submitted a waiver request in hopes of getting an additional year of eligibility. If granted, would that be back at Ole Miss… or following Kiffin to LSU?
It’s worth noting Kiffin continued to tweet about Tennessee for years after leaving Knoxville. So, maybe it’s just Lane being Lane. Or maybe it’s a hint. Stay tuned to ‘As The Lane Turns.’
