Lane Kiffin expresses regret for the way he left Tennessee

In an interview with the Knoxville News Sentinel, Lane Kiffin spoke highly of his time with Tennessee and was unhappy with the way he left for Southern California. But he didn’t understand comments by athletic director Mike Hamilton that he was not a “cultural fit” for the Volunteers.

“I don’t really know exactly what that means,” said Kiffin, who was UT’s coach for just 14 months. “I don’t think at the end of day that has anything to do with whether you score points or whether you win games. Where you’re from? I don’t know. That’s just my opinion.

“Is Nick Saban from Alabama? Is Urban Meyer from Florida? Those are two of the best coaches in the country. So I don’t think that really means anything.”
