Paul Finebaum Throws Shade at LSU's Lane Kiffin With Florida Coach Comment

Paul Finebaum threw some serious shade at LSU head coach Lane Kiffin with his remarks that included Florida's Jon Sumrall.

College football commentator Paul Finebaum criticized LSU head coach Lane Kiffin during a discussion on SEC Network's SEC Nation. Finebaum expressed his preference for Florida's new head coach, Jon Sumrall, over Kiffin. Sumrall, who joined Florida in November, has led the Gators to a 3-0 start, including a recent 44-39 victory over SEC rival Auburn.

Meanwhile, LSU faces a crucial matchup against Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday. Kiffin's past with Ole Miss, where he was named head coach before Ole Miss's first College Football Playoff appearance, also contributed to Finebaum's remarks. In their recent game, Ole Miss defeated LSU, Kiffin's new team, resulting in further criticism of the LSU coach.
