Paul Finebaum rips Lane Kiffin’s ‘absurd’ appearance on Pat McAfee Show
Published:
Many are attempting and failing to get a read on the future for Lane Kiffin, and the Ole Miss coach is doing little to clear the air.
Despite his insistent pleas that he loves where he’s at, Kiffin has done nothing to deny that he is entertaining the notion of taking over as the head coach at Florida or LSU.
The Rebels’ head coach took to The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday to talk with the cast of characters, but all Kiffin did was dispel the notion that Ole Miss had given him an Egg-Bowl deadline to make a decision on his future.
Of course, this infuriated ESPN’s Paul Finebaum, who took to First Take to vent his frustrations.
“That was not exactly a denial yesterday. What was all that about? Was he trying out for Shakespeare?” Finebaum said. “That was absurd…Lane, it’s up to you, if you want to end the speculation, end it right now.”
Amidst a potential College Football Playoff run, Kiffin appears to be trying to balance the need to block out exterior noise while also planning for his future. That has prompted many in Oxford, Gainesville and everywhere in between to question his loyalties and how is handling the whole situation.
