Paul Finebaum has spent three years talking to Brian Kelly every Monday during the college football season, but let’s just say he’d rather not do it again...

Asked at Barrett Media’s Audio Summit earlier this month how he reconciles criticizing coaches with putting them on his show every week, his answer started innocuously enough with his now-ESPN colleague, Nick Saban.

Once Saban began appearing weekly on The Pat McAfee Show, LSU called Finebaum to ask for the same arrangement for Brian Kelly. Finebaum said yes without fully weighing what that meant, because what it meant was 20 minutes with Brian Kelly, live, every single Monday, for three consecutive years.

“I think I would rather have a colonoscopy on the stage right now without anesthesia,” Finebaum said. “It’s that painful.”

"I like interviews like that, where you literally sit down, and it’s like you’re 16 and your older sister sets you up with the younger brother or sister of a friend,” Finebaum said. “You sit there, you don’t really know what to say. And eventually, though, Kiffin will say things.”
