Lane is getting into Twitter fights with former players now...

Twitter

quote:

BBN Tonight twitter: Keidron Smith has now played for 2 SEC football teams... How do Ole Miss & Kentucky compare?!

"How we practice"


quote:

Lane: Wait I’m very confused about putting this out?!?! This is a bad thing for @OleMissFB and playing in the west and a positive for @UKFootball and playing in the East ??? It’s too much of a grind over here???


quote:

Keidron Smith: Aye I ain’t say nothing to you when I left and you ain’t say anything to me. Don’t try to use me for your social media clout, I said what I said and leave it at that. Nothing good or bad about it, just two different ways of doing things.

We will look back and be glad we didn’t hire Lane Kiffin. That’s not to say we’ll be happy with Brother Hugh, but I believe we may have dodged a bullet.

I’m starting to feel good about missing out on Lane.

Eh I think that tweet is fine. It is really funny that UK account posted a video where their player literally said "It's more of a grind over there, we are laid back here"

We just going to ignore the Twitter shite storm we’re in with the current coach?

And now Lane has a nothingburger of a tweet and it’s “we dodged a bullet not getting him”

I really wonder if y’all listen to yourselves sometimes

Yeah I mean how predictable. It's like every time we miss on a recruit they "didn't have a committable offer anyways"

I think one of the biggest drawbacks to Lane is that I believe he is the kind of guy that after 2-3 years anywhere he starts to wear on people, from players to coaches to admin to fans. I think we are seeing this live with Ole Miss right now.


I said this during our coaching search and still stand by it.

Lane can coach, I’ve just never understood why he’s so into Twitter/social media. Freeze too.

In the scheme of things, Lane is young, he is single and likes attention. Its not going to change until he finds something more important to him than himself

We've moved on, I suggest you do the same.

His player’s response to Lane was more mature than Lane’s. I respect the player now.


What was Lane defensive about? Comparing practice is cliche at this point. Players compare them under different HCs, at different schools, etc because microphones and recorders are in their face.

Unless I've missed something, the Twitter shite storm AU is dealing with is from a few unhappy fans and a lot of OM fans and fake accounts with Nov '22 join dates stirring the pot.

I haven't seen Freeze getting into back-and-forth Twitter battles with former players.

And the DM thing to the girl while he was at Liberty (that had frick all to do with anything with HF...it all happened years before HF got to Liberty) amounts to a big ole pile of nothing. He didn't intimidate, threaten, or any other description people want to throw on the DM to her. He asked a question and gave his opinion of the man she was dragging.

I really don’t give a shite about Freeze’s past.

But to say “we’ve dodged a bullet” after this tweet is just so fricking laughable

You can if you don't look at it. Pretty simple no views, no retweets, no arguing...dies on the vine. People move on...

Sounds a lot like the tweet in the OP doesn’t it? Asked a question and gave his opinion

Except we’re talking football. Not whatever allegations she was throwing.

So we can ignore the Twitter shite storm. Fine with me. I’ve already taken that path. But my point is people are pointing to a tweet that will barely be mentioned anywhere but message boards and thanking god we didn’t hire him. While the guy we did hire, caused a MUCH bigger storm.

Not really.

Kiffin responded, publicly, to one of his former players he has/had a relationship with because he got his feelings hurt about what the kid said (that you claim is a nothingburger, when it showsbhe hasbyet to let the childish shite go) that didn't paint Lane and the way he runs his practices in a positive light. And I'm not gonna sit here and say "we dodged a bullet" with Kiffin, but I'm also not going to dismiss and downplay every wrong thing he does while others are blowing insignificant shite about Freeze completely out of proportion.

Freeze DMd (aka not publicly) someone who he had no relationship with asking a legitimate question because she was dragging the AD, not Freeze personally, trying to understand where she was coming from.

If you or anyone else thinks Kiffin being publicly petty because one of his former players hurt his feelings and Freeze asking a completely harmless question out of the direct view of the public are the same thing, then idk what to tell those people.
