Paul Finebaum believes that LSU should have buyer’s remorse when it comes to Lane Kiffin.
On Monday, during his weekly appearance on ESPN’s “First Take,” Finebaum said Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer made the LSU coach look like an “absolute fool.”

“He promised to bring a national championship to LSU,” Finebaum said of Kiffin. “That is why he went there. What has he done so far? Not very much.
“You watch this game and it looked like every other LSU-Alabama game I’ve ever seen. Why did it look that way? Because Lane Kiffin cannot beat Alabama.”
Alabama beat LSU 31-13 on Saturday, dropping Kiffin’s career coaching career record against Alabama to 0-6, including prior stints at Ole Miss and Tennessee.
“Kalen DeBoer made an absolute fool out of him,” Finebaum said.
LSU went 0 for 4 on fourth down, those failures combining with a missed field goal and a turnover in Tide territory to limit the Tigers to a single touchdown.

“He chokes his guts up every time there was a big decision to make,” Finebaum said.
The ESPN analyst, once again, went after Kiffin for bringing in Kevin Costner for Tiger Walk, suggesting the coach made the actor “look like an idiot.”
On Sunday, Finebaum said “Lane Kiffin got punked.”
“I have said to you and others that I thought Kiffin would get it turned around at some point and win a national championship,” Finebaum said during his weekly appearance on “The Matt Barrie Show.”
“But you have to wonder if Lane Kiffin isn’t just all sizzle and no substance. I mean, I didn’t see anything last night that impressed me. They had so many opportunities, and when it came down to a call from the sidelines, Kiffin whiffed. Kiffin choked.
