Was Kiffin trolling Auburn with a cryptic tweet?

New Florida Atlantic coach Lane Kiffin is known for tweeting some strange or subtle stuff on @Lane_Kiffin, but this one is just a little too cryptic to fully translate.

Kiffin sent this tweet on Wednesday morning:

Okay, let's see if we can translate that: Kiffin's last job was an assistant at Alabama, which we all know has one of college football's biggest rivalries with Auburn. That appears to be an Auburn plane, so either he's saying he misses the rivalry or that he misses playing Auburn since Alabama has been successful in the Iron Bowl in recent years? The latter seems correct.

Either way, it's probably a case of trolling, but maybe Kiffin should be a little less subtle next time.
