An ardent follower of Nick Saban's 'rat poison' philosophy, Kirby Smart is rarely the one to reply to any witty jabs taken on him, especially when they are from his former co-coach Lane Kiffin.
The Ole Miss head coach's comment on Kiffin's weight during his press conference on Monday became the center of all headlines.
"I don't know, that's a good question. I walked by the TV and saw his [Smart's] press conference today, and it doesn't look like he's burned too many calories," Kiffin said when asked about which of the two burns more calories because of their intense coaching patterns.
It was a brutal shot, one that Smart might make an exception for from his usual style of not responding.
Lane Kiffin when asked if he or Kirby Smart burns more calories in a game:

Smart having the perfect opportunity this Saturday makes it even more believable. Matter of fact, Smart will have two opportunities.
The first one would be his live appearance from Myers Quad on the Georgia campus on ESPN's 'College Gameday' as the home coach. However, Smart calling out Kiffin during a media appearance does not really resonate with his style. He has generally avoided going down that path.
But the other option looks more exciting and Smart-like: him doing an iconic gesture after Georgia beats Ole Miss.
Imagine this: Georgia pulled one off against Ole Miss after a roller coaster game, and instead of climbing up on a table to celebrate, Smart may be pointing to the scoreboard and flexing his physique as a response to Kiffin's dig.
If the Bulldogs head coach decides on something like this, it will be the hottest game drama in Week 8, one that Kiffin will most likely promptly reply to in his post-game conference.
