Lane Kiffin and the No. 11 Ole Miss Rebels have a big-time matchup against the Alabama Crimson Tide on the horizon. This contest will pit Kiffin against his former boss, Bama head coach Nick Saban.
On Tuesday, Kiffin took to Twitter to share how he’s prepping for this weekend’s marquee matchup.
The Ole Miss head coach is reading a book by author John Talty called “The Leadership Secrets of Nick Saban — How Alabama’s Coach Became The Greatest Ever.”
Take a look at the tweet here:
Kiffin, a former offensive coordinator under Saban, has never defeated his former boss as a head coach. The Crimson Tide have claimed double-digit victories in each of the last two seasons.
That being said, this could be Kiffin’s best chance to notch a win over Saban. Alabama has shown weakness in away games against ranked opponents, losing to Tennessee and LSU within the last three games.
Ole Miss is 8-1 on the year — Alabama is 7-2. The No. 11 Rebels rank one spot behind the No. 10 Crimson Tide.
Saturday’s game in Oxford will kickoff at 3:30 p.m. ET.
