SEC talking head Paul Finebaum has had no shortage of college football takes in 2024. Finebaum continues to believe the SEC is superior, Colorado football is a “joke,” and Notre Dame is the definition of overrated. Right or wrong, Finebaum has never held back while expressing his opinion, much to the displeasure of current Ole Miss Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin. Finebaum and Kiffin remain at odds years after the former played a role in the latter’s dismissal from the USC Trojans.
On Tuesday, Kiffin, like Kiffin usually does, clowned Finebaum for completely whiffing on a college football prediction last Saturday. Finebaum incorrectly predicted an easy Auburn Tigers win at home against the Cal Golden Bears, leaving Kiffin questioning what the college football personality does well.
Ole Miss Rebels HC Lane Kiffins Takes Aim at Paul Finebaum for Incorrect College Football Take
From Ole Miss Rebels HC Lane Kiffin’s official Twitter page:
@finebaum What are you good at again?? (on a quote Tweet of Finebaum saying, “There is no chance Auburn loses to Cal. NONE. Book it.”
On the Paul Finebaum Show last week, the SEC-centric talking host said, “There is no chance Auburn loses to Cal. None. Book it,” when a listener asks whether Auburn could be on upset alert. Despite being double-digit favorites, Auburn lost 21-14 to Cal, with quarterback Payton Thorne throwing an abysmal four interceptions. Kiffin, who displayed his disdain for Finebaum during Southeastern Conference Media Days during the offseason, posted on Twitter taking a victory lap over the television-radio personality’s brutally wrong prediction.
Finebaum and Kiffin’s history dates back to 2013 when Finebaum called Kiffin a nepotism hire and the “Miley Cyrus” of college football. Kiffin led the USC Trojans during that time. Kiffin is now the head coach of the Ole Miss Rebels, with the SEC squad sporting a 2-0 record and playing host to the Wake Forest Demon Deacons next weekend.
