Lana Kiffin’s cryptic post has fans wondering if Trinidad Chambliss is coming
One thing that has been abundantly clear lately The Lane Kiffin saga that resulted at Ole Miss the football coach abandons ship to become the new LSU football coach is that Kiffin has a strong affinity for attention. While this isn’t exactly breaking news, the delays and other spectacles of the past few days have certainly helped solidify Kiffin as someone who craves the spotlight.
That thirst for attention continued on Monday when Kiffin posted a picture of a motivational quote on X, formerly Twitter, along with a tiger emoji as well as the flag of Trinidad.
“Trinidad” could of course refer to Ole Miss football quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, who had a strong 2025 season for the Rebels and recently submitted a waiver to make him eligible for the 2026 college football season, according to CBS Sports’ John Talty.
Talty also reported that “Kiffin took many of those (Ole Miss) coaches on the plane with him, including his brother Chris Weiss Jr., co-offensive coordinator Joe Cox and receivers coach George McDonald. A few days before the early signing period, Kiffin took general manager Billy Glasscock and senior director of player personnel Mike Williams to LSU.”
It’s certainly been an ugly divorce between Kiffin and Ole Miss, a program he’s worked hard to build a good relationship with over the past six years, but seemingly put all of that out the window with his actions over the past few days. He’s almost certain to receive an extremely hostile reception when Ole Miss hosts LSU next year for what will be its rematch, a date yet to be announced.
Either way, it remains to be seen whether the burned bridges will be worth it, and the answer will depend on what Kiffin is able to accomplish at LSU.
