Bryan Kohberger is spending Christmas behind bars — and the murderous Grinch of 4 college students is getting a much-deserved lump of coal this year instead of the average holiday prison perks, except for some cookies.

Here’s the scoop … Idaho’s most infamous mass killer is incarcerated in long-term restrictive housing at Idaho Maximum Security Institution, so he has very little access to any activities, according to Sanda Kuzeta-Cerimagic, a spokeswoman for the Department of Correction.

Kuzeta-Cerimagic said Kohberger and his fellow inmates in the restrictive unit are shuffled around in shackles, making it harder for correction officers to move them about the prison for special Xmas activities.

During the holidays, St. Vincent de Paul — a charity organization — runs a program called “Cookies for Corrections”, and they deliver donated boxes of cookies to every Idaho Department of Correction facility, including the Idaho Maximum Security Institution. Among the cookies, there are some famous brand names, such as Oreo, Chips Ahoy, and Nutter Butter (perfect for Kohberger).

Of course, Kohberger made the inmate list to receive the cookies despite butchering 4 University of Idaho students with a knife and landing in prison for life.

Speaking of food … the prison menu consists of “Holiday Turkey Roast” … but since Kohberger is a strict vegan, he’ll probably go for the “Holiday Stuffed Pepper” — paired with vegan mashed potatoes and vegan pumpkin pie.

JaMarcus Russell knows a thing or two about Lane Kiffin and LSU football, and the former number one overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft is pumped to see what the polarizing head coach has in store for his alma mater!

TMZ Sports chatted it up with Russell and Dwayne Bowe — former star teammates at LSU — about their school’s hiring of Kiffin, and both are pumped to see how he makes his mark on one of the country’s top programs.

Russell, in particular has a unique view of the 50-year-old … since Lane was his head coach in Oakland with the Raiders until Al Davis fired him four games into the 2008 season.

As for Bowe, he expects to see results right away … saying when you get LSU, “You don’t have time.”

“They’re bringing you in for right now,” Dwayne said. “And I think with his coaching ability and the guys that’s there and the support he have from us, the fans, the energy he gonna receive, and just that grittiness that he’s gonna bring back, I think it’s gonna be right now.”

“We got a lot of dogs over there.”

Despite all the debate about the massive shakeup with Ole Miss and LSU, fans will still have to wait nine months until the Tigers kick off the 2026 season under their new head coach.

In the meantime, Russell and Bowe are staying busy doing a bit of coaching themselves … at their All Pro Academy — which they founded together — with the goal of teaching hopeful NFL players “how to be a pro’s pro.”
