Lane Kiffin is surprisingly bearing the hilarious insults from Ole Miss fans, one that he is invariably familiar with thanks to Tennessee fans, pretty well.
Ole Miss fans very understandably hate Kiffin. Lucky for them, they have the perfect chance to hurl every single imaginable troll at him in person when he visits the Vaught, just clad in purple gear, in 2026.
The Rebel nation wants to be fully prepared, which is why some fans' Christmas gifts include the material to prepare to endlessly boo Kiffin on Sep. 19, 2026.
An Ole Miss fan tweeted a picture of his Christmas gift, all the way from his Tennessee aunt, who prepared the perfect hamper.
A FULK (f*** Lane Kiffin) t-shirt, with a water bottle, golf balls, and a French's Yellow mustard (cue the 2021 Mustard-Gate) was included.

The real joke, however, was the instruction manual.
Lane Kiffin's nonchalant response
Kiffin could have taken the sensible way and ignored the tweet altogether, but that would be so non-Kiffin.
Of course, he decided to respond to the tweet in a way that made the whole deal even more infuriating for the Ole Miss fans.
The 50-year-old tried to play unbothered with a simple "Merry Christmas and happy new year. Love you."
Merry Christmas and happy new year. Love you. 🙏 https://t.co/LvZ5e1ylWN

Kiffin has always been a PR master at precisely dealing with small things like this to get all the spotlight on him and push the buttons to galvanize an entire fanbase at the same time.
If Kiffin continues pulling stunts like this, which he most definitely will, the atmosphere in the Vaught for the Magnolia Bowl will be something college football might have never witnessed before.
