As surprising as it may seem, it’s beginning to look like it’s Al Davis who is the smart, cogent adult.
One day after winning a tight recruiting battle for blue-chip prospect Nu’Keese Richardson, new Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin accused Florida’s Urban Meyer of NCAA violations regarding the recruitment of the FL high school standout wide receiver.
In the video below, Kiffin tells Volunteer boosters at a luncheon on Thursday how Meyer was blowing up Richardson’s cellie while the kid was on an official visit to Tennessse.
Good natured ribbing of your new SEC rival is one thing, but Kiffin has definitely crossed the line with these statements. It seems he is accusing a two-time National Champion coach of serious NCAA violations, just for a few chuckles from the Tennessee faithful at a lame rubber-chicken banquet.
No wonder virtually every single person that came across this moronic meathead when he was with the Raiders came away with the same feeling: DOUCHEBAG.
Couldn’t happen to a greater fan base to be saddled with an adolescent idiot such as Kiffin than the toothless, hillbilly, meth-head Volunteer supporters.
Why, yes…we did live in TN for a year or so, what makes you ask that?
Good ol’ Rocky Top…
UPDATE:
CollegeFootballTalk has posted a reply from Florida AD Jeremy Foley who claims, even if Urban did call Richardson while he was visiting Tennessee, there were no NCAA or SEC violations:
“There was no rule violation and we have confirmed this with the 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.”
It will be nice so to see Tennesse go winless in ’09, won’t it?
(sorry, the video kinda sucks)
