Lane Kiffin is coaching while sitting down Saturday, and CBS commentator Gary Danielson has the story straight from the man himself:
Lane Kiffin explains broken toe, Internet scoffs
Alabama’s offensive coordinator says his daughter broke his toe while dancing to Lynyrd Skynyrd.
I noticed Lane Kiffin was limping out here, and I got the story of what happened, okay? Lane was home for Thanksgiving dinner, and [his daughter], to the music of “Sweet Home Alabama,” jumped off the chair...jumped on his toe and broke his toe.
He told me he had to get shot up to do the game.
CBS also gave us an up-close shot of the toe in question:
Like all things ever said by Lane Kiffin, the Internet took this story with a healthy dose of skepticism.
no chance i believe that full story on how kiffin hurt his foot. NONE.
— El Flaco (@bomani_jones) November 28, 2015 the "sweet home alabama" part sounds mad shenanigous. but…it’s lane. https://t.co/U2PNK0OORk https://t.co/oNBJl3JzxY
— El Flaco (@bomani_jones) November 28, 2015 The best part of that Kiffin story is it just gave me an excuse to google JOEY FRESHWATER
— Nathan Gerdts (@nlg2013) November 28, 2015 I believe Lane Kiffin broke his toe dancing to Sweet Home Alabama with *someone's* daughter
— actioncookbook (@actioncookbook) November 28, 2015 If you assume Sweet Home Alabama is code for Sabbath Bloody Sabbath then Kiffin's story about breaking toe dancing with his kid checks out.
— ThatsSoTaguchi (@ThatsSoTaguchi) November 28, 2015 No one cares about Lane Kiffin's toe. (creates Lane Kiffin's toe parody account)
— Bandit (@banditref) November 28, 2015 Others focused on the second part of Danielson’s telling of the story, the part where Kiffin is coaching Alabama’s offense while on pain medication.
So Kiffin is on pain meds while calling our offense? Yeah, I can see that.
— Adam (@OrlandoMcCain) November 28, 2015 Kiffin has a history of coaching hurt. He coached USC in the 2012 Sun Bowl while hiding a cut on his face by dressing up like the Unabomber.
