After losing Game 1 of the College World Series final to Texas A&M on Saturday, Tennessee received well-wishes from a former member of the school's athletics department.

Ole Miss football head coach Lane Kiffin, who coached the Tennessee football program in 2009, took to social media to wish the Vols "good luck" in Sunday's Game 2 against the Aggies:

Lane Kiffin @Lane_Kiffin

Good luck guys !! Get off to a great start. ⚾️🔥 <a href="">@Vol_Baseball</a> <a href="">

While it's unclear if Kiffin was being facetious with his message to Tennessee, it should be noted that he doesn't have the best relationship with the school.

Kiffin was hired by Tennessee at the age of 33, which made him the youngest head coach in college football at the time. He guided the Vols to a 7-6 record in 2009, an improvement on their 5-7 record in the previous season under the fired Phillip Fulmer. However, Kiffin bolted after just one season and accepted a head coaching position at USC in 2010 following the departure of Pete Carroll.

Kiffin's unceremonious departure from Tennessee incited riots among students on campus that required attention from the Knoxville police and fire departments.

The animosity between Kiffin and Tennessee even appears to have extended into 2024. Last month, the 49-year-old shared an article that accused the Vols of attempting to steal a recruit from Ole Miss.

As for the Tennessee baseball team, there's no time to pay Kiffin any attention. The Vols dropped Game 1 against the Aggies 9-5 on Saturday and would be eliminated with a loss on Sunday. If Tennessee manages to stave off elimination, it would force a decisive Game 3 against Texas A&M on Monday.
