ESPN Ranks College Football's Greatest Supervillains Of All Time

Love him or hate him, Lane Kiffin has never been boring.

ESPN ranked LSU's first-year head coach No. 2 on its list of college football's greatest "supervillains" of all time, pointing to his headline-making coaching stops and predicting an explosive return to Oxford when the Tigers face Ole Miss in Week 3.

As for the No. 1 villain, it was Steve Spurrier.

But here's what they had to say about Kiffin:

2. Lane Kiffin

The Lane Train is worse at breaking up than Pete Davidson. But he also can't quit doing it. If you want to spend an uncomfortable hour, watch Al Davis' "I fired Lane Kiffin from the Raiders" news conference. At Tennessee, prospective students are shown Neyland Stadium, Ayres Hall and the giant rock on campus where it was painted "F--- Lane Kiffin" the night he bolted Knoxville for USC. He was fired from USC on the LAX tarmac. He was told by Nick Saban to go on and leave for Florida Atlantic instead of coaching in the national championship game because he was too distracted. And even after working so hard on changing how people viewed him, he couldn't help himself last fall when he exited Ole Miss for Magnolia Bowl rival LSU, and in the middle of what he continued to portray as an excruciatingly painful decision, he dropped a reference to "segregation" in a Vanity Fair interview when comparing his new gig to his old one.

When LSU visits Ole Miss the night of Week 3, it's going to be all the worst parts of the Ole, er, Old Testament, but instead of raining fireballs from heaven, it'll be pouring Fireball out of airplane bottles.
