“There’s more Tony Dungys, there’s more Lovie Smiths, there’s more Mike Tomlins that never get the opportunity...” Kiffin said, via Sports Illustrated. "We’re in 2023, and between SEC and Big 12, we have no minority head coaches. …It is ridiculous, when we’re talking about two major conferences right here in this area, and when whatever it is, 80-percent of our players are minority but we have all white coaches. It’s really a system that needs to be fixed.”

“To give someone the opportunity to speak in front of the team, to handle media, to handle pregame meal, to handle injury reports, to get out there today to manage the kind of scrimmage… I think was really good for [Nix]...” Kiffin said.

"You can’t see how good somebody is until they get a chance to do it. That would be my wish out there to ADs and presidents and universities to understand that, and this is a good example.”
