SouthLink02 8 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 This morning, after his first Vols signing day, Kiffin offered another example, as reported by this Web site right here. Kiffin just jumps out and accuses Florida's Urban Meyer of a recruiting violation in the pursuit of prospect Nu'Keese Richardson. Kiffin said Meyer called Richardson when he was on his Tennessee official visit."I love the fact that Urban had to cheat and still didn't get him," Kiffin told the crowd in the video. Yikes. I bet we haven't heard the last of this... http://blog.al.com/rapsheet/2009/02/off_to...le_you_guy.html WOW Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/56151-kiffin-accuses-meyer-of-cheating/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanTiger 22,262 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Kiffin is a train wreck waiting to happen. I didn't realize what kind of personality he had, but I think UT folks are going to rue the day they hired such a loose cannon.

PChamp119 96 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Did we (Auburn) get beat in Mobile or something? Did Eddie Gran get some Mobile recruits to go to UT and thus we were out recruited by UT in that area? I was just a bit confused by that quote.

bellefay1 1 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I think Florida beat both UGA and UT by 40 in the last two years. We might see a bloodbath of epic proportions in Gainsville come October. I could see Meyer try and emulate one of those Houston teams of the 80's that would put 80+ up on teams.

You really don't want to give anyone in the SEC additional reasons to put a beat down on you.

Shire5k 19 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Florida AD's response: "There was no rule violation and we have confirmed this with Southeastern Conference. It is obvious that Coach Kiffin doesn't know that there is not a rule precluding phone contact with a prospect during an official visit on another campus during a contact period. His allegations are inappropriate, out of line and, most importantly, totally false. It is completely unfair to Urban Meyer, our coaching staff, our football program and our institution. "The appropriate action at this time in my opinion is for Coach Kiffin to make a public apology. His comments not only slandered our coach, but he violated SEC rules by publicly criticizing another coach and institution."

Did Eddie Gran get some Mobile recruits to go to UT and thus we were out recruited by UT in that area? I was just a bit confused by that quote. Thompson was trying to emphasize that UA owns the Memphis area no more - that UT does. Like when AU was doing very well in the Mobile area before Nick and Lance came to UA, and he was asking Gran to confirm that UA took over Mobile. Tooting his own horn a bit in front of the choir, I think.

Duder 262 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Wow, he hasn't even coached a game yet and he already looks like an idiot.

"The appropriate action at this time in my opinion is for Coach Kiffin to make a public apology. His comments not only slandered our coach, but he violated SEC rules by publicly criticizing another coach and institution." I would say that the appropriate action would be for the other 11 SEC schools begin calling any and all recruits while they are visiting Florida. Put them on speed dial. Every 10 minutes.

Shire5k 19 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (Feb. 5, 2009) ? Southeastern Conference Commissioner Mike Slive has issued a public reprimand to University of Tennessee head football coach Lane Kiffin for his public comments made earlier today. "Coach Kiffin has violated the Southeastern Conference Code of Ethics," Slive said. "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.†Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/56151-kiffin-accuses-meyer-of-cheating/#findComment-580342 Share on other sites More sharing options...
