This could get interesting


Well Lane Kiffin hasn't even been the Tennessee coach since Monday, and he has taken and received a jab by Steve Spurrier.

Spurrier who used to needle former coach Phil Fulmer, was at it Monday before the ink dried on Kiffin's contract. He questioned if Kiffin broke NCAA rules by contacting a recruit before he was allowed to.

Jarvis Giles, a high school running back from Florida was contacted by Kiffin on Sunday mourning.

Kiffin struck back by hiring one of Spurrier's assistants, David Reaves, as his new recruiting coordinator. Then had this little gem.

"As far as recruiting, we've hit the ground running. I took the test a few days before I got hired here so that we could do that," he said Monday at his introductory news conference.

I have to say even though I questioned the hiring of Kiffin at Tennessee yesterday, I am starting to like the move. Kiffin, which we found out in the Bay Area, doesn't hold back when running his mouth. He could be the perfect foil to Spurrier. I can't wait till next year, to see the first South Carolina Vs. Tennessee game.
