Hamilton fine with Kiffin’s high profile

Lane Kiffin has done just what his new boss at Tennessee wanted him to do: Put the Vols back in the national spotlight.
And while the new coach has ruffled some feathers with his bold moves and brash comments, athletic director Mike Hamilton told The Associated Press on Thursday that Kiffin’s statements have been “misunderstood.”

“Everybody says, ‘Does he really understand what he’s doing or saying?’ Yeah, he does,” said Hamilton. “He might have been shocked initially or surprised initially at the attention that anything he says will get.”
