Florida Atlantic coach Lane Kiffin couldn’t help but take advantage of the opportunity.
When ESPN suggested the Owls had the best chance to win the Conference USA championship, it was only fitting Kiffin troll his former boss. He mocked Alabama coach Nick Saban on Twitter Monday night by posting, “Please stop media!! This is rat poison to our players!!”
It was in reference to Saban scolding reporters last Saturday after the Crimson Tide’s 27-19 victory against Texas A&M by saying their positive coverage was toxic.
“I think it’s OK to have a sense of humor in this profession,” said Kiffin, who was Saban’s offensive coordinator from 2014-16.
