Patrick asked him if he'd ever be interested in coaching in the NFL again, and Kiffin said "sure," but he also prefers the college game where you can build your own team by competing on the recruiting trail, rather than waiting for your turn to pick in the draft.
It'd be naive to think that he doesn't have some unfinished business in the League...but he's a long way from getting back...and, in order for him to ever get there, he's going to have to have some big success at UT.
