Kiffin’s quick rise an understatement

Kiffin’s quick rise an understatement

DESTIN, Fla. – Tennessee football coach Lane Kiffin has expanded his oratorical repertoire. It now includes understatement.

For example, take his opening comments to a gathering of 20-or-so media-types at the SEC spring meetings Tuesday.
“We’ve been here about six months,” he said. “It has been a real exciting six months for our staff and our program.”
You think?
He’s a first-year college head coach at a football program that just went 5-7. Yet he’s a national story.
