Lane Kiffin makes 'stunning' reveal concerning Juice's social media presence

Ole Miss head football coach Lane Kiffin has one of the strongest presences of any coach on Twitter, and so does his dog, Juice Kiffin. Juice, the ‘unofficial mascot of Ole Miss’ recently expanded his social media presence to Instagram, which came with some surprising news from Kiffin from a recent press conference.

“Well I think you guys know the truth, I don’t run Juice’s Twitter, nor does Juice. I didn’t even know he has on Instagram, so I guess we can still play along with it, it’s really him and I’ll need to discuss that with him when he gets back from training camp. Because he goes to training camp in the morning from like eight till two every day you know, we ship him off,” Kiffin said.

Contrary to what Kiffin said, Juice took to Twitter and revealed the process of his Twitter activity.

How is this surprising? I literally don’t have thumbs I can’t type anything on a phone.

I dictate my tweets and someone types them for me https://t.co/by40FwxQ9o

The Juice Kiffin account was created in June of this year and already has over 19,000 followers. Whoever is managing the account is surely hoping for a similar following and traction on Instagram, as Juice continues to stay busy with his schedule at Rebels training camp.

Lane Kiffin reveals how Juice has made him a better coach

Juice Kiffin — Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin’s dog — took over college football Twitter earlier this offseason. But as it turns out, he’s teaching his dad a few lessons about being a better coach, as well.

Kiffin got Juice this offseason and he became a social media star, despite getting sent home from SEC Spring Meetings in Destin. As training camp gets started, Kiffin admitted training a dog is much like getting players to get on board with a program when they transfer in.

“You probably wouldn’t think Juice would make me look at coaching better, but … I don’t know how to train a dog and I don’t really do what they tell me to do,” Kiffin said. “Juice is not really well-behaved right now. Wildrose [Kennels] came and got him, today’s day three for like ‘training camp,’ so he’s on day three of training camp. They come get him in the morning, take him out, they give me a list of notes. This is what he does well, this is what he did today, they actually video the things. 

“And actually, this morning, meeting with them about it, I was like there’s so [many] similarities here to buying in and bringing people into culture because we’re bringing him in and all of a sudden, he’s around all these other dogs and how well they’re trained has a lot to do with the training to him and him not being distracted by all the other things. I was like you guys are going through the same thing we’re going through. When you bring people in the organization, transfers in, getting them to buy in, here’s the puppy that he’s taken over there with these other dogs that have been trained the whole time, and Juice ain’t listening to what he’s supposed to be doing. I kind of feel like that’s similar to transfers right now.”
