Why would Lebby leave Oxford when he will have one of the best returning QBs in the nation? For Bo Nix? He would have Ealy at RB and JRP in the slot. If he has a normal offseason he could set SEC records next year all over the place, dont really see that at auburn right now. Lebby could parlay next year into a head coaching job, but he would trade that to rebuild auburn?

While anything is possible, I'd say there is 99%+ chance it is a baseless troll given rumors (fan and media) of Bama's possible interest in Lebby, and AU's coaching hire debacle and Kiffin rumors there.
That said, unless there is friction between Lebby and Kiffin, poaching a staff member for same position off of a divisional rival isn't the best way for a new coach to fit in with HC fraternity.
Based on Lebby's post-bowl win tweet, I'm guessing he is happy where he is:

Corral pre-Lebby and Kiffin was not remotely what he turned out to be this year. There is likely a school of thought that if Corral took a big step forward, Nix could too under the right coach (not certain that would happen, but it could). And Auburn is not hurting at the skill positions at all.
The Auburn OC job is better than the Ole Miss OC job and likely gives you more options for a future head coaching job in the near future.

It’s not like Gus left the cupboard bare. He did have top ten classes on average. Excellent 4-5 star receivers coming back. The foundation is there, Gus couldn’t develop the QB if this one can be developed.The facilities are a bit better in Auburn (not trolling). Coach H has a good base returning he just needs to run the chaff off.
