Lane Kiffin has never been a stranger to wearing his heart on his sleeve in public.
Even earlier this summer, the Ole Miss head coach savagely dunked on SEC media personality Paul Finebaum. But where Kiffin sometimes gives off a “bro’s bro” vibe, his short rant about Coca-Cola hits the mark.
During a recent press conference, when it came time to start answering questions from the media, Kiffin noticed a Coca-Cola curiously placed at the top of his lectern. He proceeded to go on a tangent about how one standard bottle of the soda has more sugar intake than is recommended over a full day for an average adult. Kiffin would, of course, clarify that he hasn’t drunk “Coke” in a “long time.”
It was a funny little moment for the face of Ole Miss football to dunk on a product directly paying Ole Miss for vending.
How long before Coca-Cola pulls its endorsement of Lane Kiffin's press conferences?

As random as Kiffin’s sidebar was, is he wrong?
Newsflash: Most sodas are very bad for you! Plus, it’s not as if he was telling anyone not to drink it. He was just stating a fact — unprompted, yes — backed up by his reading of the nutrition label.
And I’m also not surprised Kiffin fixated on Coca-Cola as someone who lost 30 pounds three years ago. Do you want to know how he probably partly did it? Cutting any and all soda out of his diet!
This is a reminder that Kiffin really does contain multitudes, even when it comes to a balanced and nutritional diet.
