In the last few months, the college football world has been rocked by different news every day.
The hottest story in this part of the country has been the issue of SEC coaches repeatedly committing NCAA secondary violations, while recruiting some of the nation’s top talent.
Recently, the coaches were in Destin for the SEC meetings and were all reprimanded for their actions in recruiting as well as against one another.
The one coach that has been reprimanded the most has been Tennessee’s new coach Lane Kiffin. He has only been on the job eight months and has already irritated the likes of Nick Saban, Urban Meyer and Steve Spurrier.
The best response had to come from Spurrier who quickly confronted Kiffin in front of the media at those meetings and left the young gun of a coach red-faced from the embarrassing tongue lashing from The Ol’ Ball Coach.
The one thing that Kiffin should have realized before he started running his mouth is that Spurrier, Saban and Meyer are coaches that show no mercy and run up a score.
There is something that gives the feeling that his first game against all of them might be ugly.
