Lane Kiffin made a cryptic post on Monday morning as the college football world deals with the aftermath of his decision to leave Ole Miss to take the LSU Tigers’ head-coaching job.

Kiffin announced his decision to leave the Rebels as the team is likely going to enter the College Football Playoff for the first time in school history. Meanwhile, LSU will have to start again with a new head coach and hope to rebuild into the championship powerhouse it once was.

The coach made a post on X to start the day.

"Exhale. Have the best Monday ever," he wrote, adding, "#GodsPlan."

With the post, Kiffin attached a photo from a motivational book.

"Let the seams unravel and reform your entire life the way you really intended for it to be," the passage read. "When you are forced to let go, you are also asked to exhale. What does not hold is not meant to. If you are not certain, wait. Time reveals all truth, all knowing, all reality that will comes to be. It will all become clear."

Kiffin told ESPN on Sunday as he was leaving for Baton Rouge, Louisiana, that the decision to leave Ole Miss was "challenging."

He said he wanted to stay and coach Ole Miss through the postseason.

"We went through a lot last night with (Ole Miss athletic director) Keith Carter trying to figure out a way to make this playoff run work and be able to coach the team. And at the end of the day, that's his decision and I totally respect that. I understand that decision," he said.

"I just totally wish the team the best of luck, wish that I was coaching.... I just hope they play really well and go win the national championship."

He added that he reached out to Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Carroll and former Alabama Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban before making his decision.

"My heart was here. But I talked to some mentors – coach Carroll, coach Saban. Especially when coach Carroll said, 'Your dad would tell you to go. Take the shot.'

"I always hated how we gave it one year at Tennessee and left. I hated that feeling of that. I think we gave a lot to this program and to this city and some of those historic wins in this stadium, best regular season in the history of the school. So, I'm proud of that part. But it just became time. I talked to God, and he told me it's time to take a new step. It's a new chapter."

Ole Miss named defensive coordinator Pete Golding its head coach to replace Kiffin.

Kiffin guided Ole Miss to its 11th win of the season over Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl.

Comedian Kathy Griffin is reflecting on the backlash from her controversial 2017 photo featuring a mock severed head of President Donald Trump that ignited national outrage. She said her outlook has changed since the incident, and she now even counts some Trump supporters as friends.

"I think I spent a lot of my life, whether it was romantically or career-wise, thinking somebody would change or I could maybe skew someone's perspective," Griffin told People at Out Magazine’s Out100 party.

"And now look, believe it or not, I have quite a few Trumper friends," she said.

KATHY GRIFFIN SAYS INFAMOUS SEVERED TRUMP HEAD PHOTO MADE HER LOSE ONE-THIRD OF FANBASE

Griffin posted a photo online showing her holding a Halloween mask covered in ketchup that appeared to resemble the severed head of Trump.

Her photo was condemned by members of both parties and criticized as promoting violence against an elected official. Griffin was also investigated by the Secret Service over whether the image constituted a threat against the president.

The comedian has been vocal about her subsequent firing as a co-host of CNN’s New Year’s Eve broadcast and the difficulty of booking gigs afterward.

Despite the fallout, Griffin told People she now finds it "important to be around people that do have different opinions," saying she has learned to get along with them.

Griffin also spoke about how people still associate her with the Trump image.

"There are some Trumpers that find me very triggering because of the Trump head picture. So, I still am confronted about that photo to this day and complimented about that photo. But I get both," she said.

Griffin was honored as Out Magazine’s "Advocate of the Year" on Saturday. She said she still feels it’s important to be outspoken on political issues, despite the pushback she’s faced.

"This administration is really coming for the LGBT community," Griffin said.

"I think it's important that everybody stay politically engaged even if politics aren't your thing because gay rights are civil rights," she added.
