ESPN’s Paul Finebaum didn’t hold back when criticizing LSU Tigers head coach Lane Kiffin over all of the offseason drama.
Lane Kiffin and the LSU Tigers (emphasis on Kiffin) have been at the center of drama throughout the entire offseason. Kiffin and the program elected not to roster two former NFL players for the Week 1 opener against the Clemson Tigers, as he and his team faced possible discipline from the SEC. Although they made that decision, the whole situation has seemingly rubbed Paul Finebaum the wrong way.
During a segment on ESPN, Finebaum went off on the 51-year-old head coach, calling Kiffin a “child,” and stating that there are “no adults” in the LSU football program. The popular college football analyst appears sick to his stomach with how Lane Kiffin and LSU approached the whole eligibility drama this offseason.
“There are no adults in the room.”
