Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin took faculty soccer pundit Paul Finebaum to activity on Thursday over a few of Finebaum’s earlier predictions that had not aged so nicely.
Kiffin and Finebaum obtained into an amusingly cordial alternate over among the radio host’s earlier quotes on Kiffin. Finebaum famously dubbed Kiffin the “Miley Cyrus of school soccer” in 2013, simply earlier than the latter was fired by USC. Kiffin was joyful to carry that up in Thursday’s interview.
“Look what occurred. I might by no means have gotten to work for Coach (Nick) Saban,” Kiffin joked. “All these different issues wouldn’t occur, so I recognize you for serving to get me fired.”
Finebaum identified that Kiffin and Miley Cyrus are each nonetheless profitable immediately, a gap that Kiffin eagerly seized.
“So that you had been fallacious on that,” Kiffin stated. “Actually, I don’t know what you’re good at. You predicted that Coach Saban was performed. That didn’t occur. You principally stated Miley Cyrus stinks, and he or she’s nonetheless going.”
Finebaum took the ridicule in good humor and the entire back-and-forth didn’t appear to be completely critical. Kiffin positively introduced some receipts with him, although, and was keen to make use of them.
That is additionally nothing new. Finebaum predicted quite a few instances that the Alabama dynasty underneath Saban was on its final legs and Kiffin never let that go. This isn’t even the primary time Kiffin has brought up the Miley Cyrus comment. Then once more, so long as Kiffin is profitable and retains proving folks like Finebaum fallacious, why not have some enjoyable with it?
