### Lane Kiffin Delivers Laughs and Insights on College GameDay
Lane Kiffin joined the College GameDay crew to deliver exactly what fans had hoped for – both expected and unexpected moments. The Ole Miss head coach provided a fascinating segment, covering topics from Nick Saban's advertisements to an unconventional prediction.
The interaction began with a humorous jab from Nick Saban. "Lane, you look really, really relaxed," Saban remarked. "Much more relaxed than when I was in your ear when you were calling offensive plays, and I was always second-guessing you, but you look good. You really look good." Despite the playful provocation, Kiffin, who boasts a 38-15 record in five seasons at Ole Miss and aimed for his 100th win on Saturday, didn't take the bait.
Pat McAfee steered the conversation towards what advice Kiffin would give to Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer, leading up to the pivotal Alabama-Georgia match. However, it was Desmond Howard’s question about Saban's amusing commercials that hit the mark, prompting Kiffin to reveal a side of Saban he had never seen while in Tuscaloosa.
“I love coach, but I never saw that side," Kiffin admitted. He continued, "I've actually seen his commercials. I paused it, replayed it, videoed it with my phone, and sent it to Kirby (Smart) and Sark (Steve Sarkisian), and I was like, 'Who is this guy? This guy's awesome. (He) laughs, making jokes.'"
By then, Kiffin had warmed up, and Rece Davis took the opportunity to ask him for a prediction on the Alabama-Georgia game. The session ended on a high note, with Kiffin engaging the audience and the GameDay crew in genuine and memorable conversation.
In essence, Kiffin’s appearance on College GameDay was a brilliant mix of humor, insights, and candid moments, providing both entertainment and anticipation for the day's big game.
