Fox Sports commentator Tim Brando is not happy about rumors surrounding Lane Kiffin and him possibly taking the Auburn job.
During this Thursday’s game between Ole Miss and Mississippi State, Brando took to Twitter and called out the head coach and his commitment to the Ole Miss Rebels.
“I sent my daughter to @OleMIss she was and remains invested in all things Oxford,” Brando wrote. “Once you’ve made that commitment it’s real! I sold out condo there, but will never rule out buying another. If @Lane_Kiffin wants out? Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way OUT! See ya.”
Brando would add Kiffin’s attitude cost Ole Miss this year’s Egg Bowl.
“I’ll clarify before saying goodnight. @LaneKiffin is helluva Coach, but he’s made his approach public,” Brando tweeted. “I’m also aware of my position, but I’ll always say what I see. @OleMissFB may need to step up money but Lane’s cavalier attitude cost his team tonight. Period end of story. Night.”
Mississippi State beat Ole Miss 24-22 in Oxford after the Rebels’ potential tying two-point attempt failed in the final minutes. Ole Miss finished the regular season with three straight losses, including Thursday’s to its archrival, to fall to 8-4.
Lane Kiffin has been reported to be the top candidate for the open coaching position at Auburn for the past several weeks. Kiffin was asked by a reporter whether he anticipated being the head coach of Ole Miss for the 2023 season if Auburn were to offer him the coaching position.
“I do,” Kiffin responded.
Kiffin is in his third year in Oxford, going 23-12, winning 10 games in 2021 and getting Ole Miss to the Sugar Bowl.
