In no particular order, Kiffin has:

  • Called out Florida at his introductory press conference.
  • Stolen assistant coaches from South Carolina, Auburn, Alabama and the Oakland Raiders.
  • Orchestrated an elaborate scheme to get Pahokee recruit Nu’Keese Richardson to sign with Tennessee on National Signing Day, and not Florida, including telling him to lie to his coaches and the media.
  • Stolen away another top recruit from Florida (Marsalis Teague), and one from LSU (Janzen Jackson).
  • Landed the nation’s No. 8-ranked recruiting class, according to Scout.com.
  • Wrongly accused Urban Meyer of cheating.
  • Accused Pahokee football coach Blaze Thompson and school administrators of back-door shenanigans.
  • Signed the nation’s No. 1 recruit in Bryce Brown.
  • Told a South Carolina recruit he will end up working at a “gas station” if he signs with the Gamecocks.
  • Made up a story to Sports Illustrated about firing Tennessee athletic department staffers, which was later debunked by his own athletic director.
  • Had a very public contract dispute with Raiders owner Al Davis.

Seems like a pretty unbiased start to an article to me.......

I enjoyed it. Sounded like a fair interview. Good of Kiffin to offer this reporter. It will help in the long run.

Make no mistake the interview was nothing more than a recruiting tactic. Kiffin knows how to work the media. He is freaking everywhere!

Those comments at the bottom of the web page are funny. Gator fans are in an uproar.

We’ve heard you are happy about Florida having the Tennessee logo up in their locker room. Could you expand on that a little bit?

Yeah, I was shown a picture of it. Someone asked what I thought about that, I thought it was great. Recruits go through locker rooms, the fact that our logo is up around their locker room is a pretty powerful thing to me. It’s free advertising.

I'm sure Kiffin had a media plan to get the Vols name out throughout the country. I'm just not sure he knew that it was going to catch on like it did. His whole Nukeese incident at the booster breakfast was really a means to fire up the boosters. I am sure he didn't even know that he was being filmed and he certainly didn't anticipate that it would be such a national story. The sequela was just a happy accident. He has done well spinning this stuff into good recruiting advertisement.

Doing a great job of keeping our programs name fresh in the minds of recruits in such a crucial recruting area. Also seems to be doing an outstanding job of getting in the heads of the gator nation. Go CLK and GO VOLS!!!!!
