Lane Kiffin trolls Hugh Freeze over golf social media post

Ole Miss head football coach Lane Kiffin is no stranger to stirring the pot on social media.

Auburn coach Hugh Freeze was the latest to be targeted by Kiffin, becoming the punching bag for a Sunday evening dig on X (formerly Twitter).

Kiffin quoted a post from Freeze on May 19 that showed him playing golf, writing “Great job Coach!! Game is on,” with a fire emoji.

Freeze’s frequent golf outings have drawn criticism, as he logged 10 rounds of golf from June 1 to June 24, according to the USGA’s Golf Handicap Information Network database.

During that time, Auburn’s 2026 recruiting class had numerous decommitments and now ranks 86th in the country, according to the 247Sports composite rankings. Ole Miss’ 2026 recruiting class currently ranks 37th.

That was the second post of the evening from Kiffin aimed at Freeze, following a picture of a young woman standing next to a large fish, with a caption that tagged Freeze.

The Tigers and Rebels won’t meet on the field in 2025, but Kiffin’s trolling of fellow coaches — including Freeze — is nothing new.
