Lane Kiffin Mardi Gras Float in New Orleans Turns Heads

(New Orleans, Louisiana) - LSU Football Coach is celebrating his first Mardi Gras in Louisiana as the head football coach of the LSU Tigers, but he may never forget this float.

Kiffin, who has been touring much of the state while on the recruiting trail, was recently at a New Orleans Pelicans game and even made it onto the arena's videoboards. While his welcome was warm in NOLA, we wonder whether he was still there to see a float featuring an image of him.

We will get to the float in NOLA with "Coach Kiffin" on it, but check out how one security officer in the Smoothie Kinig Center nearly ruined Kiffin's moment at the game.

As Coach Kiffin was waving to the crowd on the big screens, the man casually walked in front of him, and then noticed that he was in the shot of the LSU coach.

Now, as bad as they could have been had this guy not noticed that he was in the way of Kiffin, let's get to the Mardi Gras float with a depiction of Lane Kiffin on it.

As you'll see below, the Lane Kiffin figure wears his signature sun vizor, but the fitted tank top may have Coach Kiffin wishing he never saw it. And while he may not like the figure, the slight jab at his former employer may be welcomed by the new coach in Baton Rouge.
