Even in the wake of one of the more publicized coaching departures in recent memory, Lane Kiffin still backs his former team.

After Ole Miss' 31-27 loss to Miami in the Fiesta Bowl on Thursday night, which ended the Rebels' season and punched the Hurricanes' ticket to the College Football Playoff National Championship, Kiffin expressed support for his former team on social media.

«Amazing effort and grit,» Kiffin wrote on social media, «best season ever in the history of Ole Miss!!»
