In the wake of Ole Miss's 38-19 win over the Mississippi State Bulldogs, Kiffin retweeted a post from On3's Chris Low, describing how much the coach missed his late father, Monte Kiffin.

"Pretty obvious today during the postgame press conference how much Kiffin misses Monte, who was the kind of person that created a sense of warmness in every setting and treated everybody like they were somebody."

He then retweeted another post from Jerry Luman, who also touched on Kiffin's feelings about his father.

"I don’t think people realize how much @Lane_Kiffin misses his dad and how big of an impact he was. Ole Miss was the last place they coached together. Monte walked the halls and sat in his office. It’s home. Whatever happens happens. Best wishes to the Kiffins. Hotty Toddy!"

The second tweet, however, was deleted by Kiffin later.

Kiffin's social media activity stirred speculation that he could be on his way out of Ole Miss.

After winning the Egg Bowl against Mississippi State on Friday, Lane Kiffin reflected on how much he misses his father.

“I really missed him this week,” he said.

It was reported that the Rebels gave Kiffin an ultimatum to decide on his future, but the coach denied those reports on Nov. 18.

"Yeah, that's absolutely not true," Kiffin told "The Pat McAfee Show" on ESPN. "There has been no ultimatum, anything like that at all. And so I don't know where that came from, like a lot of stuff that comes out there. Like I said, man, we're having a blast. I love it here."
