Lane Kiffin tells Nick Saban: 'Good luck in the playoffs' and 'See you next year'
The Alabama football team defeated Auburn 24-22 in four overtimes during Saturday's Iron Bowl in Auburn, Alabama.
Alabama football coach Nick Saban was greeted by his wife, Terry Saban, outside the locker room with a big hug.
Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin commented on a tweet of Saban and his wife with two heart emojis and a goat emoji and "Mrs." with a goat emoji.
Kiffin was a Saban offensive coordinator at Alabama from 2014-16.
After the game, Saban celebrated with players in the locker room by dancing.
Kiffin commented on a tweet that showed Saban dancing by saying, "Great moves!!! Congrats on the Iron Bowl @AlabamaFTBL Good luck in the playoffs. See you next year."
