Lane Kiffin won't stop tweeting about Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher NIL war of words

Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin is marveling at the war of words between Alabama coach Nick Saban and Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher like everyone else in the college football world.

Wednesday night, Saban stoked the flames of controversy when, speaking at a fundraising function, he said Texas A&M bought every player in its No. 1 recruiting class. Fisher responded with a scathing news conference Thursday morning, calling Saban a narcissist and calling his words "despicable."

Kiffin is no stranger to this debate. In February, Kiffin poked the bear by joking he thought Texas A&M might have to "pay a luxury tax" because of how much money the Aggies were rumored to have raised for name, image and likeness deals for their players.

Kiffin and Fisher worked as Saban's offensive coordinator at various points in their career. All three are now head coaches in the SEC West division. Ole Miss plays Texas A&M on Oct. 29 and Alabama on Nov. 12 this fall.
