Lane Kiffin doubles down on Brian Kelly troll with help of LSU assistant
Once again, LSU coach Brian Kelly is going viral for dancing. Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin had some fun with this latest video — and he continued to do so on Monday night when Kelly learned even more dance moves.
Kelly appeared in a Tik Tok with LSU target Danny Lewis last week with some — interesting — dance moves. Kiffin immediately weighed in on Twitter to share his hilarious reaction to the video.
But then, over the weekend Kelly met up with Allen “Lahgriddy” Davis, who created the “Griddy” and showed the new LSU coach how to do his dance. Kiffin once again had a good laugh, especially since Tigers associate head coach Frank Wilson helped set that up.
“Thank god Frank is around!!!” Kiffin tweeted. “Please don’t let him do that again #grindingontheplayers @LSUfootball.”
Kelly previously went viral for his dance to “Callin’ Baton Rouge” with recruit Walker Howard in December. Apparently, he’s taking a new approach to recruiting at LSU than he did at Notre Dame — along with his newfound accent.
LSU has the No. 17 recruiting class this year, according to the On3 Consensus Team Rankings. The Tigers have also landed 12 transfers, including former Penn State running back Noah Cain.
Lane Kiffin roasts Brian Kelly for Tik Tok recruiting antics
Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin is already igniting the rivalry with Brian Kelly and LSU. After Kelly appeared in a Tik Tok video with 2022 tight end recruit Danny Lewis, the Rebels coach took to Twitter to voice his amusement.
“Did you lose a bet or something?” Kiffin wrote. “This can’t be real. Photoshopped? Account hacked? I mean…”
Kelly can be seen standing behind Lewis, dancing as the video plays in slow motion. One of the few players from 2022 yet to commit, Lewis took an official visit to LSU this week. The three-star recruit also has offers from Alabama, Florida and others. He ranks as the No. 30 tight end according to On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
LSU has an 81.3% chance of landing Lewis according to On3’s recruiting prediction machine.
The Tigers hired Kelly from Notre Dame in late November to replace Ed Orgeron. Since then, the new coach has made headlines for his peculiar behavior, including faking a southern accent during his welcome speech. Although his off-field antics have drawn attention lately, his success on the field speaks for itself.
