My friend was in a Tuscaloosa bar about six moths ago and saw Kiffin there. Kiffins proceeded to hit on one of his friends under the alias “Joey Freshwater”. My friend knew it was Kiffin though and called him out on it, but he kept claiming “he gets that a lot.” “Freshwater” ended up getting shutdown by the girl (I guess she wasn’t in to guys twice her age) and goes to try his luck somewhere else. I have been waiting a long time to tell the legend of “Joey Freshwater” and now seemed like the perfect time since he was found cheating.

Awesome. However, per AL.com he denies it...

“No, I have not,” Kiffin said about using Joey Freshwater. “I’ve used Jimmy Chestnut but not Joey Freshwater.”

Kiffin, now the head coach at Florida Atlantic, laughed and then said he was just kidding about Jimmy Chestnut. When Travis suggested that Kiffin should rebrand as Joey Saltwater in a video, Kiffin admitted “I like that.”

“Someone told me Joey Freshwater is the best thing I’ve ever heard,” Kiffin said,” and I said ‘Well, his friend is Jimmy Chestnut and is just as good.”
