Lane Kiffin trolls Saints fans after surprise Sean Payton retirement

Here comes Lane Kiffin from the rafters: the Ole Miss football coach has always been eager to troll fans on Twitter whenever a high-profile coaching search kicks off, but he’s usually stuck to inspiring speculation at the college level. But now he’s made the jump to the NFL and shared some photos to get New Orleans Saints fans all discombobulated.

First, Kiffin posted a photo from a private airplane cabin showing a flight tracker bound for New Orleans. It’s the perfectly ambiguous almost-something that he’s made into his trademark online. See it for yourself embedded below:

But he wasn’t finished. Kiffin circled back a bit later with another photo, this one showing a “Who Dat Nation” sign posted in a window. Where he found this is anyone’s guess, but it continues his fun dig at the whole social media news speculation apparatus. It’s his way of having fun with this process and implying he’s a candidate for the job without actually saying anything. So don’t read into it.
