So what would Thompson say to Kiffin given the opportunity? "I would tell him, ‘Congratulations, but I’m looking forward to the day that we play.’ "I don’t care where I’m at. I’m always going to be looking for the day we play Lane Kiffin."

Are you getting the idea Thompson, like so many other people in the Volunteer State, feels Kiffin played him? You’ve got the right idea. "You’re tremendously disappointed in the way the events have gone down and in the parties involved," Thompson said. "From my perspective, in my career, I’ve always dealt with people who did things the right way. I never saw this coming. "Ultimately, it’s my own responsibility for who I choose to work for. Looking back on the last year, it leaves me in a little bit of dismay."
