The No. 6 Ole Miss Rebels dominated the Tulane Green Wave 41–10 on Saturday afternoon, securing a first-round College Football Playoff win and advancing to an SEC showdown in the second round against the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs.
This was their first game without head coach Lane Kiffin, who departed early for LSU. While his exit left some ill feelings in Oxford, Kiffin has made it clear he’s still rooting for Ole Miss during the playoffs.
“Congrats to all the coaches and players @OleMissFB and especially @CoachGolding and seeing his 2 boys on the sidelines,” Kiffin posted on social media shortly after the game. “Great win today. #1-0.”

However, while Kiffin made sure to give a shoutout to his former team, he quickly stirred the pot with college football fans.
On Sunday morning, less than 24 hours after the Rebels’ win, he posted a photo of Tiger Stadium on social media with the caption, “The Cathedral of college football,” a post that didn’t sit well with some fans.
"If that’s the cathedral then Ohio Stadium is the Vatican," a fan said.
Someone else added, "what time do they play."
Another person wrote, "You’re sure not making this look like a 'hard decision' like you said."
"Looks like Coach abandoned his team on their journey to a national championship," a fan shared.
"No one calls it that," one more fan commented.
