Paul Finebaum Suggests SEC Presidents Would Vote to Kick Out LSU, 'Child' Lane Kiffin
Brett Carlisle helped fix Finebaum’s phone at the airport before the analyst delivered a sharp on-air critique of Lane Kiffin and LSU.
- On Friday, college football analyst Finebaum blasted Louisiana State University coach Lane Kiffin, calling him a "51-year-old man behaving like a 16-year-old" for allegedly ignoring Southeastern Conference rules barring the signing of former NFL players.
- The Southeastern Conference recently sued Louisiana State University for allegedly ignoring rules barring college teams from signing NFL players; SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey, backed by 15 other presidents, acted to preserve league integrity.
- Before the broadcast, Finebaum received tech help from 28-year-old Brett Carlisle, the lead singer for Great White. Kiffin decided not to roster DaeQuan Wright and Zxavian Harris in "the best interests of the team" ahead of LSU's season opener Saturday night.
- Finebaum's remarks went viral Saturday as Kaitlan Collins reposted the clip on social media. Kiffin appeared on College GameDay and told analyst Pat McAfee, "Between you and I were about the two most hated people there are."
- Finebaum predicts Kiffin will eventually back down, explaining, "I dont believe that that university will put itself in this type of harms way." He added that Kiffin feels a deep personal connection to Sankey.
