I can always recognize a top leadership hire when I see one. I'll let you all know when. This hound won't hunt.
Anyone know where he tried to grow up? A. Leon Polhill FlaNative1845 330 NW 45th Street Gainesville, FL 32607 (352) 367-4642 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of RUSSELL BEYER Sent: Friday, February 13, 2009 10:30 PM To: Gatornews Subject: [gatornews] [ESPN.com] Kiffin commits third recruiting gaffe Friday, February 13, 2009 Kiffin commits third recruiting gaffe _____ By Chris Low ESPN.com A little more than a week after wrongly accusing Florida's Urban Meyer of cheating, first-year Tennessee <http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/clubhouse?teamId=2633> coach Lane Kiffin has had his own hand slapped ... again. Tennessee plans to self-report a secondary violation, the third one involving Kiffin in the last month, after he mentioned unsigned prospect Bryce Brown by name during a radio show in Knoxville on Friday morning. Brown is scheduled to make an official visit to Tennessee this weekend and is rated by Scouts Inc. as the No. 2 running back prospect in the country. Kiffin was talking about the growing trend of high school prospects waiting until after signing day to choose a school and made a reference to "great players like Bryce Brown" while appearing on WNML Radio. Those comments came after the host of the show, Dave Hooker, couched the question by reminding Kiffin that he couldn't talk about specific recruits. NCAA rules prohibit coaches from commenting about unsigned prospects, specifically their ability. The other two secondary violations involving Kiffin had to do with simulating game-day experiences while prospects were on campus. [A. Leon Polhill] <snip> >From the day he was announced, Kiffin has seemed to revel in stirring it up. [A. Leon Polhill] <snip> Kiffin issued a statement later that day apologizing, but has indicated several times afterward that he's unconcerned about what anybody else in the SEC thinks about him. "There's nobody outside the Tennessee fans. There's nobody outside the Tennessee family, and there's nobody outside this group of players that will ever help us win a football game. So we really don't care if we offend some people on the way to getting there," Kiffin said earlier this week while speaking to the Big Orange Tipoff Club.
