Harris called Kiffin's departure, which came after Ole Miss set a program record for wins in a season, "like a slap" and is using his departure as motivation.
"Like a slap and a backhand,'' Harris said. "He was trying to be a troll. We're going to troll him. We've got something for him."
Complicating matters further between Kiffin and Ole Miss, members of the Rebels' coaching staff will be joining Kiffin at LSU after their season ends. With the transfer portal opening Friday, those assistants now have the job of coaching Ole Miss while also recruiting for LSU.
Ole Miss offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr., tight ends coach/co-offensive coordinator Joe Cox, wide receivers coach/passing game coordinator George McDonald and running backs coach Kevin Smith all signed contracts to join Kiffin's coaching staff at LSU.
"What an amazing night for all Ole Miss players, coaches and fans."
Ole Miss will look to continue its run against Miami in the Fiesta Bowl Jan. 8 at 7:30 p.m. ET.
