Lane Kiffin is on a hot streak with his Twitter trolling of Nick Saban and Alabama. On Thursday night, the Ole Miss head coach shared a photo of his “new license plate,” which reads: RATPSN.

Rat Poison.

Kiffin credited Nick Saban’s personal assistant Cedric Burns for “sending him” the new plate, which is obviously registered in Alabama.

Nick Saban has used the term “rat poison” in regards to positive media attention often. The Alabama head coach first used the term in 2017, following Alabama’s 27-19 win over Texas A&M.

“I’m trying to get our players to listen to me instead of listening to you guys,” Saban said at the time. “All that stuff you write about how good we are, and all that stuff they hear on ESPN, it’s like poison. It’s like taking poison … like rat poison! So, I’m asking them, ‘are you going to listen to me, or are you going to listen to these guys about how good you are?’”

Kiffin, who served as Saban’s offensive coordinator from 2014-2016, has asked for media to stop the rat poison and used emojis referencing rat poison earlier on Tuesday in response to a post that Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral is the Heisman frontrunner.

Kiffin and Alabama license plates

Weirdly enough, Thursday night wasn’t the first time Lane Kiffin put an Alabama license plate on his Twitter timeline.

In March, Kiffin tweeted a photo of a license plate that read, “THX NS.”

“I just got my new plates in for the ride!!,” Kiffin wrote, naturally followed by more rat poison emojis.

Ole Miss prepping for the Crimson Tide

Lane Kiffin’s still tweeting but offline, the Ole Miss Rebels are in the middle of Alabama prep. The team has the week off before traveling to Tuscaloosa for a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff on Oct. 2.

The Rebels opened the season with decisive wins over Louisville, Austin Peay and Tulane.

Against a Tulane team that held strong with No. 4 Oklahoma just weeks earlier, Ole Miss rolled, winning 61-21. In the victory, Corral finished with 335 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, 68 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns.

Corral became the first player in SEC history to throw for three touchdowns and rush for four touchdowns in the same game.

Through the first three games, Corral has thrown for 997 yards, nine touchdowns and no interceptions, adding 58 yards and five touchdowns on the ground.
