Lane Kiffin\u2019s abrupt departure for Baton Rouge has warranted an icy farewell from the Ole Miss faithful \u2014 and now one of his former players is getting in on the action.<\/p>\n

Ole Miss defensive tackle Jon Seaton trolled his former coach on social media, mocking Kiffin\u2019s polarizing decision to jump ship for SEC-rival LSU<\/a> right before the No. 6-ranked Rebels\u2019 postseason push.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a sarcastic reenactment posted to TikTok on Monday, Seaton, portraying Kiffin, congratulated his team on the \u201cbest season we\u2019ve ever had\u201d \u2014 which concluded with an 11\u20131 regular-season record, the program\u2019s best since 1962<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Then his phone rang. It was LSU.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, you understand, right?\u201d Seaton joked, asking for his players\u2019 approval before walking away and dropping his team-branded visor on the turf.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kiffin, who had helmed the Rebels since 2020, announced his decision Sunday in a lengthy statement delivered on social media<\/a> following weeks of speculation \u2014 and a few additional prayer sessions \u2014 regarding his future.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter a lot of prayer and time spent with family, I made the difficult decision to accept the head coaching position at LSU,\u201d Kiffin posted to X.<\/p>\n

The 50-year-old skipper explained that he wanted to coach the Rebels through the College Football Playoff, but alleged he was barred from doing so<\/a> by Ole Miss athletic director Keith Carter.<\/p>\n

Kiffin was adamant that his decision had nothing to do with money, even saying, \u201cI don\u2019t know what my contract is here.\u201d Still, his seven-year, $91 million deal \u2014 the second-most lucrative coaching agreement in college football \u2014 argues the negative.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Seaton, a redshirt senior who transferred from Elon University, poked fun at the coach\u2019s seemingly hypocritical move, a controversial decision that prompted an encore of boos and one-finger salutes<\/a> from fans as he boarded his plane bound for Baton Rouge.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ahead of the CFP Selection Show on Dec. 7, Ole Miss elevated defensive coordinator Pete Golding<\/a> as the program\u2019s next head coach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lane Kiffin\u2019s abrupt departure for Baton Rouge has warranted an icy farewell from the Ole Miss faithful \u2014…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":419957,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[1428,1318,12945,16660,54749,1317,1315,1316,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-419956","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-college-football","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-lane-kiffin","11":"tag-lsu-tigers","12":"tag-mississippi-rebels","13":"tag-ncaa","14":"tag-ncaa-football","15":"tag-ncaafootball","16":"tag-sports","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115651137750729087","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419956","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=419956"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419956\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/419957"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=419956"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=419956"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=419956"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
