"Glad he doesn’t have Twitter": Lane Kiffin fires back as obscene chant targeting his nephew Cookie explodes online

Lane Kiffin's family celebrated the Ole Miss Rebels' CFP quarterfinals win over the Georgia Bulldogs. Kiffin posted two pictures of the younger members of his family posing after the statement win.

However, the sports commentary page 'Old Row Sports' posted a video of a fan making an obscene chant targeting Kiffin's nephew, Cookie. Kiffin saw the video and fired back.

"And he loves those players as they do him. Glad he doesn’t have Twitter," wrote the new LSU Tigers head coach.

There's still animosity from a section of the Ole Miss Rebels fan base after Kiffin left the team ahead of the playoffs. The team subsequently appointed Pete Golding, and they're just two wins away from winning the national championship.

Trinidad Chambliss and Co. were impressive as they pulled off an upset win against the Georgia Bulldogs. The Rebels won 39-34 and will play against the Miami Hurricanes in the semifinals.

Lane Kiffin got paid after Ole Miss' win over Georgia

According to Sports Illustrated, Lane Kiffin is owed $500,000 after the Rebels ended Kirby Smart's Georgia Bulldogs' season. The figure would jump by $250,000 to $750,000 if the Rebels beat Miami to reach the finals.

It's important to note that it's the LSU Tigers that'll be paying Kiffin the bonuses rather than his former employers. It was one of the many clauses that convinced Kiffin to take his talents to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, rather than stay in Mississippi.

Lane Kiffin guided the Rebels to an 11-1 record in the regular season, which secured the team's first trip to the College Football Playoffs. However, athletic director Keith Carter refused to allow him to coach the program after he accepted LSU's offer.

The Rebels have done just fine in Kiffin's absence. They recorded a blowout win over the Tulane Green Wave before posting a surprise victory against the Georgia Bulldogs. Next up is a date with the Miami Hurricanes in the Fiesta Bowl.
