The feud between Lane Kiffin and Michael Wibon isn’t drawing to a close just because the game in question is drawing near.
Wilbon, an ESPN analyst, didn’t mince any words this week when asked about what would be better for college football: a win by Kiffin and Ole Miss over Alabama or vice versa. Wilbon said Alabama in a landslide.
“Lane Kiffin’s a clown,” Wilbon said on ESPN’s Pardon The Interruption this week. “Lane Kiffin has been an embarrassment at multiple stops.”
After those comments, Kiffin retorted by questioning Wilbon’s professionalism during one of the coach’s press conferences this week.
Wilbon fired right back ahead of Ole Miss-Alabama.
“Listen, if Ole Miss wins that game, I will come on this show on Monday or maybe Tuesday. I will wear an Ole Miss jersey if they get me one, if he can beat Nick Saban,” Wilbon said. “They’re not going to win that game. They’re not. I know everybody thinks it’s trendy, by the way he’s a terrific offensive coach. What I said was essentially he’s been immature, I like having a chorus of voices respond with that.”
