Former LSU player rips Lane Kiffin in NSFW social media rant: ‘Grow the f— up’

Former LSU nose tackle Breiden Fehoko, a member of the Tigers’ national championship team in 2019, has seen enough.
Early Sunday morning, Fehoko — still fuming over LSU’s 31-13 loss to Alabama hours ago in Death Valley — went on social media to give his thoughts.
And, to say the least, they weren’t pretty. Warning: they’re quite NSFW, too.
“They had the number one portal class in America and paid Lane Kiffin 90 million dollars. I’m sick of the ‘give him time’ bulls—. I’m sick of celebrities walking the Tiger Walk like it’s a f—— parade and Mardi Gras,” Fehoko said.
Then, Fehoko took aim at Kiffin.
“Lane, you can make people feel good about the optics, but that s— never fooled me. You can’t recruit in-state because these kids think you’re a snake, and it needs to change. It’s always been about winning games REMEMBER THAT,” he said. “From the ‘let them’ gimmick on social media to the whole ‘Ole Miss playoff’ shenanigans and ‘recruiting pro players to LSU,’ you need to grow the f— up. Real talk. Decide if you want to be a coach or a professional troll, but do it quick, because they won’t keep being patient with you.”
Fehoko can’t be blamed for his frustration. The Tigers are now 6-3 overall and 3-3 in the SEC, and a College Football Playoff berth looks unlikely.
Kiffin was brought in to make an immediate difference after Brian Kelly’s disappointing tenure. Things are trending toward another year outside the Playoff field, though.
“This isn’t Bowling Green or UTEP. You don’t get time to build a culture. I’m sick of hearing more about Lane Kiffin’s off-field shenanigans than winning games that matter,” Fehoko said. “Hate me all you want for what I say, but this is who I am and always was. Ask anybody about me in that building, Lane. They’ll tell you. Get this f—— s—fixed.”
