Knoxville, Tennessee – The always brash and often sarcastic Lane Kiffin, head coach of the non-CFP contending Ole Miss Rebels, apparently misplaced his phone during the last of three first round College Football Playoff games on Saturday.
“It’s the only explanation for why the sarcastic tweets stopped,” said an ACC deputy conference commissioner on deep background via telephone call early on Sunday morning.
“Clearly, if Kiffin was being intellectually consistent—as he always tends to be—he would have continued lambasting the CFP for poor selections when it became clear that even conference peer Tennessee was in for a world-class ass-kicking by 8-seed Ohio State. The only explanation that makes sense is that he couldn’t locate his phone,” our source speculated.
Where does she think Kiffin’s phone got lost? There are a number of possibilities, our source said.
“The couch is the obvious one, and so if I were Kiffin, I would start my search there. He also could have dropped his phone in a bowl of tomato soup, which is a cozy winter time meal to eat while watching football. He may have dropped the phone while jumping up and cheering for Tennessee. Anything is possible,” our source concluded.
Emails to Kiffin and his wife Layla weren’t returned, but updates will be published as they develop.
