COLUMBIA, S.C. − Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin's active social media feeds remain a source of intense speculation.

Four pictures were posted to Kiffin's Instagram story on Saturday morning. One image posted three hours ago of a muddy pond stirred up social media. The picture appears to show an alligator swimming on the surface.

Anything alligator related in Kiffin's life will drum up speculation about him potentially coaching for the Florida Gators. Media have suggested Kiffin as a Florida candidate after the Gators' rough start to the season (2-2, 1-1 SEC).

There are alternate explanations, other than the move being an elaborate troll. Kiffin may just enjoy interesting wildlife, or someone else may have posted the picture. There are undoubtedly bigger things on Kiffin's mind. The No. 12 Rebels (4-1, 1-1 SEC) play at South Carolina (3-1, 1-1 SEC) at 2:30 p.m.
