if it's insulting then it's one Pahokee resident doing to another. And if you're looking for evidence in the KNS you're doing it wrong. We have better writers on this board

his quote

"You can't understand how hard this is to get done," Kiffin said. "[UT assistant coach] Eddie [Gran] had this set up at 7 o'clock in the morning. [Richardson's aunts] got the papers signed by the kid. They didn't go do it at the school because they knew somebody at the school was going to screw it up. The fax machine wouldn't work, or they would have changed the signatures, all the things that go on in Pahokee now. The aunts took it over to a junior high, found a fax machine that worked and faxed them over to us at 7 o'clock, and I kept it in a drawer till their 1 o'clock press conference."

I must be reading that differently than you because to me that sounds extremely insulting as if the office staff at PHS is completely idiotic.

that's great but it wasn't done by our coach. If you read it his aunts had the idea and did the work. One resident "insulting" another was suddenly turned into Kiffin insulting a whole town by a gator grad.

Now that everything is over with, perhaps the residents of Florida can turn their attention away from the comments of a football coach... and continue the fight for better conditions in Pahokee to the state legislature.

One step at a time guys, one step at a time.

Hey utvolpj...as I remember the article he criticized Pahokee high school for tampering with Nuke's commitment letter. This accusation offended not only the coach, the town residents, and school faculty... basically saying they were idiots because they couldnt fax a piece of paper.

It's all good: Kiffin apologizes by phone to Pahokee; Vols are welcome 'any day, any time' GoVolsXtra

Wow...No that was not why they got mad. He was saying they would lose the fax because they would interfere with the players because they want them to go to UF. When the principal then banned Gran and had to remove the UF signature on his school work page it lent credence to the argument.

He did offend the community by saying they were poor and shoeless or something like that.

I can't say as I recall Meyer making any claims in the same ballpark as those made by Kiffin who, I remind you, still has yert to coach his first SEC game.

As for your post-script, I see onece again reference to the gaytors. Very clever. For a piece of driftwood.

See? It's comments like that that really annoy me. Some on this board may think you're so, so clever. I'm not one of those people. I know the day is coming when we whip your precious teams' butt and I'm gonna relish it. Until then, blah, blah blah. Btw, are'nt there any UF boards you could visit? Anytime? Jeez.
