As it goes, Lane Kiffin, the new head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers football program has done nothing but embarrass the program by calling the Florida Gators cheaters, called Urban Meyer a cheat when it comes to recruiting. In his latest disgrace to the program, he was accused of telling a High School recruit that was undecided on the Tennessee Volunteers or the South Carolina Game Cocks that if he chose S. C. over Tennessee the recruit would wind up “pumping gas” after graduating. Coach Kiffin has denied the allegations but it just seems like he’s trying to cover his ass for saying such a ridiculous thing.
I did have sympathy for Coach Kiffin when he was fired by the Oakland Raiders last season but now I see that maybe his dismissal was warranted on his own accord. Lane Kiffin is the son of Monte Kiffin who, in the NFL, is revered as a football Genius. I find it very difficult to believe that his own flesh and blood is so dumb and careless when he speaks in public. Lane Kiffin hasn’t coach a single game for the Volunteers, yet the schools Athletic Director has had to make excuses and apologize for his behavior thus far.
I have a sneaking suspicion that Lane Kiffin will find himself without work if his stupid, childish antics continue to bring negative headlines to a once storied program that has been in a decline and irrelevance for the past decade or so.
