There aren’t many coaches in the world of sports who handle social media better than Lane Kiffin and on Saturday during Alabama’s game against Tennessee, Kiffin once again proved why he’s one of the best follows in college football.

As the Volunteers lined up to kick a go-ahead field goal with two seconds remaining as it looked to get its first win over the Crimson Tide in 15 years, Kiffin poked fun at the famous Rocky Block play from when he was the Tennessee head coach in 2009.

Kiffin’s Tennessee team had Alabama on the ropes back in 2009 it looked to pull off the massive upset but Terence Cody squandered those dreams, blocking the last-second kick.

This time the Voltuneers got things done and defeated the Crimson Tide 52-49.
