Lane Kiffin Trolls Mike Leach With Egg Bowl Trophy Tweet

Ole Miss’s coach is never afraid to stir the pot.

Mississippi State coach Mike Leach and Jackson State’s Deion Sanders got together earlier this week, and a photo of the pair drew significant attention thanks to a tweet from the Unnecessary Roughness podcast. 

The tweeted was captioned, “Two best coaches in the state of Mississippi,” a declaration that caught the eye of one other coach in the state. 

Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin kept it short with his opposition to the tweet. He posted a picture of the Egg Bowl trophy, earned by his program after a 31–21 win over Mississippi State in November 2021.

Kiffin has a relatively fair claim as the best coach in his state after Ole Miss’s 2021 season. The Rebels finished 10–3, reaching the Sugar Bowl before a loss to Baylor. Leach and the Bulldogs finished 7–6, while Sanders and Jackson State finished with an 11–1 record and the SWAC championship.
