There are growing calls for Ole Miss Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin to “apologize.”
Kiffin, the 50-year-old college football head coach, has been accused of “crossing a line” by The Ringer. The longtime college football head coach, known for his time at Tennessee, USC and Alabama, is quite active on social media. However, that can sometimes get him into hot water.
Earlier this spring, Kiffin went viral for his tweet meant for President Donald J. Trump. The tweet went viral, though, and now some people are not happy about it.The jester’s act has made him a favorite of the Barstool Sports and OutKick universe and has managed to keep him and his teams in the public eye. One wonders what we’d say about him and his middling career if not for the existence of X, the social media platform once known as Twitter,” The Ringer wrote
The Ringer is now calling for Kiffin to “apologize” for his tweet about President Trump that went viral.
“Lane Kiffin owes an explanation for his recent comments to his players and anyone else who might want to play for him someday,” The Ringer tweeted.
Kiffin’s tweet about the Gulf of America went viral on X, formerly known as Twitter
Kiffin’s post wasn’t an explicit endorsement of Trump or all of his policies, but Trump’s supporters certainly seemed to take it that way, which is why I’m comfortable thinking of it as such. And if Kiffin isn’t willing to explain the thinking behind his post, or take it down, then I think Black recruits and transfers should think about going somewhere else.
