Lane Kiffin didn’t hold back when he “thanked” Paul Finebaum for helping him get fired. Kiffin explained that Finebaum called him “the Miley Cyrus of college football,” and that he should be fired.
Lane Kiffin is a man on a mission this year. He knows he has something to prove. He knows he has a historic opportunity at Ole Miss. The Rebels have never played in the SEC Championship Game. This year could be their big chance to make a breakthrough. Ole Miss is viewed as a contender for the 12-team College Football Playoff. The Rebels have a lot of pressure and expectations to deal with. Kiffin knows it, and it’s why he’s standing his ground against Finebaum. He doesn’t have time for the talk show host’s ridiculous takes.
Finebaum has a history for calling for coaches to lose their jobs — including Jim Harbaugh, Nick Saban and others who succeeded right after Finebaum called for their ousters.
Robert Griffin’s expressions and excalmation of “Oh my God!” in response to this Kiffin-Finebaum exchange truly said it all.
