Paul Finebaum Dismisses Lane Kiffin Alabama Rumors as 'Total BS'

Paul Finebaum Dismisses Lane Kiffin Alabama Rumors as 'Total BS'
World Sports · 10:21:38 - Monday, 9 November 2026

ESPN analyst Paul Finebaum sharply rejected speculation linking Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin to the Alabama job, calling the rumors "total BS" during a recent appearance. Finebaum criticized Kiffin's denial of an alleged ultimatum from Ole Miss administration, which reportedly came amid talk that Kiffin could replace Kalen DeBoer at Alabama.

The $10.75 million-per-year SEC coach has been the subject of persistent chatter regarding a potential move to Tuscaloosa, but Finebaum dismissed the narrative outright. The commentary adds another layer to the ongoing coaching carousel discussions in the Southeastern Conference.
