Lane Kiffin Has Hilarious Response To New Book Detailing His Past

Lane Kiffin had a pretty simple response to some of the stories being told about him in a new book.

Excerpts from John Talty’s *Lane Being Lane: The Story of Lane Kiffin, College Football’s Agent of Chaos* were released earlier this month, including details about Kiffin’s time working under Nick Saban at Alabama.

Kiffin responded to the book in a text message to attorney Tom Mars, joking that he could save readers “$33 and lots of reading time” by providing his own summary. Per ESPN:

Take, for instance, Kiffin's reaction to excerpts of John Talty's book, "Lane Being Lane: The Story of Lane Kiffin, College Football's Agent of Chaos," that were released Sept. 2. An excerpt in Vanity Fair detailed the alleged off-field behavior that led former Alabama coach Nick Saban to fire Kiffin as the team's offensive coordinator a week before the Crimson Tide played Clemson in the CFP National Championship in January 2017.

"I can save you $33 and lots of reading time by summing up the book this way," Kiffin wrote to Mars in a text message, which was shared with ESPN. "Old unnamed sources say Lane used to argue with Saban, drink alcohol and hang out with hot women. New unnamed sources say Lane gets along with Saban, doesn't drink alcohol, but still hangs out with hot women."
