Lane Kiffin did not hold back when it came to responding to comments made by Pardon the Interruption host Mike Wilbon on Tuesday evening.
Wilbon ripped into Kiffin ahead of the No. 12 Ole Miss Rebels’ meeting with the No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide this weekend. calling the Rebels second-year coach a “clown” and “embarrassment” during his rant.
“Lane Kiffin is a clown. Lane Kiffin has been an embarrassment at multiple stops. I mean no one is going to run out there and say ‘I want Lane Kiffin right here on the logo representing me,'” Wilbon said.
“Lane Kiffin equals embarrassment at some point wherever he is.”
Kiffin caught wind of the comments and wasted no time firing back with some comments of his own.
