Kiffin was that dude. Made our offense exciting.

You will always have the haters, but that is a sign of insecurity. Lane's respect for Saban, shows the true character of the man.

Will always like Lane, good guy, great coach. Roll Tide.

Kiffin losing his dad and coming up here speaking that’s gotta be very hard to do ❤ prayers to you Lane & family

[tykesemilton]

I know he’s holding a lot back after recently losing his father 🙌🏾

[KamronRashid]

GL this year rebs, Roll Tide

Nothing but respect; RTR but wished he could have stayed for that last championship game. One championship that got away!

I didn’t like him when he was at Tennessee. And I was wary of him when Coach Saban brought him to Alabama. But I grew to like and respect him. And I hope he has success…except when they play Alabama 😊.

I will always be grateful for his time at UA, and will always.ways pull for him. Now a mature man and not a petulant one, he displays gratitude and thoughtfulness just days after losing his father.

[rammerjammer]

I almost teared up on that one, thanks for posting this... Thanks Lane, Roll Tide Roll ❤️

[Jameywells]

I have 0 respect for Ole Miss and their delusional shit talking Fans but I got mad respect for Lane.

[billyoliver]

Kif is my 2nd favorite head coach right now! RTR!

[RT-pbpp]

Lane was the wild card, but he was the right card. Nick showed with kiffen hire he was not limited to anything. If it can help us win I am going to do it. Kiffen was good move for saban and bama, no.one ever thought saban would hire him. That is why saban was is and will always be the GOAT. . he did what no one else had balls or clout to do.

“Well, he liked yelling at me a lot. And I learned how to ignore it” 😂

Younger women will have you in the sun

No better offensive game plan ever than Kiffin's two 2015 season playoff OC performances. Alabama QB Jake Coker, who could not make the NFL, had a Tom Brady like performance against Michigan St and Clemson (combined 41 of 55 for 621 yards and 4 TDs, 0 Ints). Roll Tide

[joeedwards]

They always have a Saban question for Lane. He’s got to be getting tired of that.

Mfer is the same color as the old miss logo 😂

[marcuswilliams]

The guy from Shawshank Redemption that broke out of prison. Wow I didn’t know he was a coach at Ole Piss.
