Lane Kiffin Went All Nick Saban On His Team With 31-3 Halftime Lead On Saturday Versus Clemson

With videos like this, LSU football coach Lane Kiffin does not need to tape another commercial for the Dr. Pepper “Fansville” series. Just send this one in.

Have you seen it? Apparently, someone recorded Kiffin on video at halftime of LSU’s 51-10 victory over Clemson on Saturday night in the locker room – from the ankles down.

Despite a 31-3 lead, 336 yards to 54 and 21-1 lead in first downs, Kiffin was not happy at all as he dropped F-bombs left and right.

In other words, he sounded like his mentor – former LSU and Alabama coach Nick Saban, whom he was offensive coordinator for from 2014-16.

To me, it sounds like someone imitating Kiffin very well.

But a friend I have known for decades who has been friendly with Kiffin for several years at various coaching stops promises that it is Kiffin.

“Knowing him as I do, I wouldn’t be shocked if he had somebody tape it and then leak it,” the friend said. “He’s always thinking outside the box on how to stir it up. I’ve heard him in locker rooms before. It’s Lane.”

But why would Kiffin want this out before a game against 32-point underdog Louisiana Tech on Saturday? Why not save this for Ole Miss week next week?

Give it a listen, and you decide.
