There are plenty of characters in college football who are disliked by a vast majority of the country. At the top of that list very well could be new LSU head coach Lane Kiffin.
After taking Ole Miss to heights they have never reached before, Kiffin left the Rebels hanging right before their first College Football Playoff appearance to take over for an SEC rival. The manner in which he left made it even worse as he dragged on his final decision much longer than he needed to.
Kiffin's departure to LSU is old news by this point, but fans' negative feelings towards him remain unchanged. So when Kirby Smart was spotting hanging out with Kiffin it surely will leave Georgia fans wondering what their head coach is doing.
Lane Kiffin posted this to his IG Story.

Georgia fans will hate seeing Kirby Smart hanging out with Lane Kiffin
Kiffin and Smart have shown they are great friends over the years, but the above post takes that to a new level. On Wednesday Kiffin posted on his personal social media account holding a Georgia cup, and in the background Smart is seen making a funny gesture and holding a beer.
This is the time of the year where coaches need to relax a bit. They spend so much time preparing, recruiting and running their football program that they deserve some time to relax during the offseason. But does Smart need to do it with the SEC's biggest villain?
Since taking the job at LSU Kiffin has poached a coach from Georgia. He also has made his intentions clear that he is trying to steal Smart's five-star quarterback commit as well. Sure that is just part of the business of college football, but it has left Georgia fans even more annoyed with Kiffin.
Smart however doesn't seem bothered by Kiffin at all, in fact he looks like one of his best friends. This likely will bother some Georgia fans, but Smart probably doesn't care about that at all.
