With college football season still nearly two months away and the summer in full swing, this is the time for coaches to get away from it all for even just a couple of days.
In the SEC, an all too common vacation sight for coaches proves to be the Gulf Coast, and that is exactly where Ole Miss head coach and former Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin found himself this week.
Kiffin shared an impressive shot of what he claims is a Florida state record trumpet fish that he’s holding on the boat dubbed the “Hey Jack”:

According to the tweet, the shockingly long fish measured at a ridiculous 62.5 inches, over five feet long.
Interestingly, Kiffin also used the hashtag #GulfOfAmerica and tagged President Donald Trump in the tweet as well in a nod to Trump’s official changing of the name of the Gulf.
Kiffin will have to return to Oxford soon and start getting ready for the season as he tries to lead his Rebels to the College Football Playoff for the first time.
