Paul Finebaum rips Lane Kiffin (again) while praising Florida’s Jon Sumrall

Paul Finebaum has taken potshots at LSU head coach Lane Kiffin over the last several weeks and took another on Saturday.

The ESPN college football analyst appeared on Saturday's SEC Nation, praising Florida head coach Jon Sumrall while digging at Kiffin.

He thinks Florida fans should be extremely lucky to have Sumrall.

"You have no idea how lucky you are. You have Jon Sumrall and not Lane Kiffin," Finebaum said .

Sumrall has been an outstanding fit as the Gators' head coach. He has won his first three games and has helped them become the No. 21 team in the country.

However, Saturday will be the Gators' biggest test yet when they host the No. 4 Ole Miss Rebels. It will take a monumental effort from all three units for the Gators to complete the upset.

Meanwhile, Kiffin and his LSU Tigers will host the Texas A&M Aggies at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
