Read this nugget in ESPN’s article on the Kiffin saga.

What in the world does that mean??

quote:

Muschamp was told by UF officials that the SEC office wouldn't allow him to bring in Kiffin, according to two people familiar with the situation, and Alabama's Nick Saban hired Kiffin a couple of weeks later.

Sounds like UF officials either incorrectly anticipated that they would say no, didn't want to deal with it so they used the possibility of that as an excuse or didn't push for it.

And it all sounds pretty odd, because for all his faults there was no reason for the SEC to "not allow" Kiffin to be an assistant in the SEC in 2014. He hadn't been in the league for 5 years and his NCAA issues at Tennessee were relatively minor. There wasn't any legal stuff.

Protecting Bama is what it means. And they say the SEC office isn’t corrupt….

No clue why the SEC would not..this should be investigated more...Muschamp could be lying but he seems like a decent guy who would not make this up.

I didn’t think Florida could look any more pathetic, but I was wrong.

So UF wanted him twice but now that LSU muscled them aside and took him he's a bum, a miscreant and a terrible hire?

The larger point here is that the machine has now been turned against Kiffin and LSU. As I said it would yesterday.

Wow. It's like there's an echo. This is the second LSU-ite to post this exact verbiage.

I read this as UF officials (Disney Gators) lying to Muschamp so they didn’t have to deal with him, either way wouldn’t surprise me

Oh, but it does. Just not what you think because you cannot grasp basic logic.

What are you even talking about? This is something that happened over a decade ago and you're talking about LSU when he went to Alabama.

Can you not read? The name Muschamp didn't raise any flags?

I'm no fan of Boom. He's a lot of things, but a liar he is not.
