Lane Kiffin was not happy with the media member who earlier this week reported that Kiffin would ultimately leave Ole Miss for Auburn. After Kiffin trolled Jon Sokoloff of WCBI on social media, he responded to the situation after the Egg Bowl loss on Thursday.

Kiffin was asked if the report was a distraction for his players leading up to the Mississippi State game.

“I think when this was falsely reported by Jon, who’s now famous, congratulations,” Kiffin said, “that you can write whatever you want. And I would do it too, I think, because you’re never held accountable and you get to become famous and maybe he’ll be right. Jon did it, so I had to have a team meeting to say his article was wrong, which you love these unnamed sources. But yes, I had to deal, had to have a team meeting because of that. When there’s other stuff and chat rooms and all that stuff, but when a reporter writes it, it changes the game on that.”
