Kiffin's first blunder

by jsholt969 on Feb 5, 2009 5:02 PM CST Comment 15 comments

So it turns out that Kiffin violated SEC regulations instead of Meyer.

“I’m gonna turn Florida in right here in front of you,” Kiffin told the crowd at the Knoxville Convention Center. “While Nu’Keese was on campus, his phone kept ringing. One of the coaches says, ‘Who’s that?’ And he said, ‘Urban Meyer.’

“I love the fact that Urban had to cheat and still didn’t get him,” Kiffin said.

However, that’s not an NCAA violation, or against SEC rules, but Kiffin’s comments were.

“Coach Kiffin has violated the Southeastern Conference Code of Ethics,” Slive said in a release. “SEC Bylaw 10.5.1 clearly states that coaches and administrators shall refrain from directed public criticism of other member institutions, their staffs or players.

“The phone call to which Coach Kiffin referred to in his public comments is not a violation of SEC or NCAA rules. We expect our coaches to have an understanding and knowledge of conference and NCAA rules.”

Whoops.

Man, Kiffin makes Les Miles look like Bobby Johnson

I don’t think I’ve ever heard talk like this unless it was preceded by the phrase, “You know, Mean Gene…”

I do not

understand the unneccesary pressure he is putting on himself, staff, and players?? Why would you paint a bullseye on your team when you relatively unexperienced caoch

Auburn fans are like slinkys... not really good for anything but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

What an absolute idiot..

First he comes across as a total jackass, then an ignorant fool.

We expect our coaches to have an understanding and knowledge of conference and NCAA rules."

So the commissioner basically tells him to shut up and go stand in the corner.

What an embarrasment.

I think everyone should stop...

…comparing this buffoon to Mike Shula. They are NOTHING alike. Mike may have been an inexperienced college HC, but he represented us with class. None of this kind of stuff EVER came out of his mouth.

Speaking of violating the Southeastern Conference Code of Ethics, why wasn’t Asshat Miles ever reprimanded for saying: “we have a new rival in f**king Alabama”?

Actually his 4th blunder..I think the below was his first

While talking about how eager he was to embrace the Tennessee traditions, Kiffin said one of the things he most looked forward to was “singing ‘Rocky Top’ all night long” after beating Florida next season.

Then the Saban thing, Spurrier thing and Meyer other thing.

MORON

The guy is a total moron. HIs daddy should stop carrying him and whip his little butt. Better do it before he goes to UF and Bama cause there won’t be anything left.

Apparantly his Dad

is worse than he is. The guy from the Knoxville sports station was on JOX this morning and said that. I guess that’s where the brashness and attitude comes from.

What Would Don Draper Do?

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA I want to see this

If I made Kiffin money ($2 million per year), I’d consider hiring security for the annual SEC spring meetings in Destin, Fla., in May. Saban might try to leap across a table and stab him with a rib bone from Dreamland. Meyer might try to drop one of those two BCS crystal trophies on him.
