Lane Kiffin reignited his ongoing beef with Brian Kelly on Tuesday, taking a shot at the LSU head coach after a Week 1 loss. That quip revolved around a postgame meltdown seen in Kelly’s most recent press conference.
He was livid after the loss to USC!
While speaking to the media moments after the season opening defeat, Kelly was seen slamming his fists against the podium while venting his frustrations to anyone who’d listen.
A Dasani water bottle jumped off the table due to the coach’s force, becoming an instant meme for the coming college football season.

That beverage is a key part of this coaches’ quarrel!
Brian Kelly previously trolled Lane Kiffin over his criticism of a longtime NCAA sponsor.
Kiffin was heard ripping Coca-Cola in the week leading into his season opener, informing listeners of how unhealthy the soda is compared to other options. Keep in mind that this has been an NCAA sponsor since 2002.
Kelly responded by propping up the company’s healthier options!
It was a lighthearted back-and-forth, and one that’s been relatively consistent since Brian Kelly’s arrival in Baton Rouge. Kiffin got the latest shot in after Kelly’s presser.
Maybe you just need a @CokeZero and a 😊 @CoachBrianKelly #LoveCoke 💙💜 https://t.co/mOVbDcAd3c

Lane Kiffin got the last laugh!
While Kelly’s Tigers fell to USC in their opener, Ole Miss exited Week 1 with a win. Facing Furman, the Rebels pounded the Paladins to the tune of a 76-0 beatdown.
He couldn’t help but take a shot after the fact, even if it meant kicking Kelly when he was down!
