Kiffin Speaks... Briefly...

((HT: WVLT-TV))

Here is the entirety of Lane Kiffin's good-bye to the fans, team, and administration of the University of Tennessee...

All 57 seconds of it...


The only thing missing in this are the Mayflower moving vans.
But the HQ takes that statement back somewhat... with the moving vans, that would have meant cowardice in this whole proceeding.

What Kiffin showed here is either brass balls the size of grapefruits or the notion that his 10-200's have no odor and he can do whatever he damn well wants...

His band of merry men are set to talk to the USC faithful tomorrow at Heritage Hall on campus... provided he's allowed to leave Tennessee air space without getting shot down from the sky... the student body at UT, late Tuesday evening, had issue with that- blocking Johnny Majors Boulevard in an attempt to prevent Kiffin from leaving the parking lot where he left his car... ((unruly mob pictured, thanks WBIR-TV))

Here's Mike Garrett's welcome back:
"We are really excited to welcome Lane Kiffin back to USC. I was able to watch him closely when he was an assistant with us and what I saw was a bright, creative young coach who I thought would make an excellent head coach here if the opportunity ever arose."

Kiffin, apparently, didn't even have the stones to tell Vols AD Mike Hamilton directly. Hamilton had to issue his statement from Denver...

"I want to thank Coach Kiffin for his work with our program this past year. We have already begun a search for the new head football coach of the Tennessee Volunteers and we'll complete this process as quickly as possible to put the right person in place to lead our great football program forward in the months and years ahead."

Stones, big guy...
Stones...
