LSU coach Brian Kelly uses Coke products to troll Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin
OXFORD ― Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin hasn't been shy about exchanging lighthearted jabs with LSU coach Brian Kelly.
On Wednesday, Kelly sent one Kiffin's way.
Kelly began his weekly news conference with a statement on the virtues of Coke products.
"(It's) great for you," Kelly said, holding a bottle of Smartwater, which falls under the Coke umbrella. "It's refreshing. Healthy. Coke provides you with all the products that you need depending on what you like, and I love Smartwater."

Great. We know that Kelly likes expensive water. But how does this relate to Kiffin?
Well, two days earlier, Kiffin picked up a bottle of Coke — placed on the podium for sponsorship reasons – and started analyzing the nutrition facts.
"Does anybody drink Coke?" Kiffin asked Monday. "You realize that 130% of your sugar for the entire day is in this one bottle."
Kiffin said it had been a "long time" since he'd consumed a regular Coke.
"Chris Low drinks Coke, though, I do know that," Kiffin said, gesturing toward the ESPN reporter.
After meeting with @Lane_Kiffin and my agent yesterday at the @OleMissFB complex, I’ve entered into an agreement with Coca-Cola and will collect all of Coach Kiffin’s future revenue from the Coca-Cola sponsorship and donate it to Shasta. And, yes, I realize I’m dating myself. 😊 https://t.co/G8MAHOoNZm
