It was probably inevitably that two of the most well-known LSU Tigers – social media megastar Olivia Dunne and head football coach Lane Kiffin – would cross paths eventually. This week, it finally happened.
Dunne and Kiffin were both present at the big LSU vs. Alabama Gymnastics competition this week and both had plenty of cameras on them. When the SEC Network interviewed Kiffin, Dunne decided to have a little fun by photobombing the video with one of her friends.

Afterwards, Dunne and Kiffin decided to do a TikTok video together. According to some, it was the first time that Kiffin had willingly been a part of a TikTok.
On Saturday, Kiffin and Dunne then did a little exchange on X with Kiffin joking that he could “get an injunction” if Dunne wants to play for the Tigers again.
“We can get you an injunction now a days,” Kiffin wrote on X earlier today.
“12th year senior szn incoming,” Dunne jokingly replied.

Dunne is a legend at LSU who helped the team win a national championship in gymnastics during her career with the team. But the main focus of her career since graduating has been working as an influencer and an entrepreneur. She boasts a following of over 5 million on Instagram and more on X and everyone platform out there.
Kiffin is heading into his first year in Baton Rouge after a controversial end to his six-year run at Ole Miss. Over his six seasons, the Rebels went 55-19 and finished three seasons ranked No. 11 or better. But his decision to take the LSU job prior to the start of the College Football Playoff resulted in the team refusing to let him join their postseason run.
