Is Kiffin all talk?

I mean, he's the man right? He's got street cred 'n stuff. Or so we thought...
Lane Kiffin was asked several times during his weekly press conference on Tuesday about being reprimanded by the SEC.
The first-year Tennessee head coach reserved comment – as best he could.
"As hard as it is for me to do, I’m not getting into it," Kiffin said with a grin. "I’d like to."
Well, if you really want to talk about it so much, Lane, what's stopping you? Afraid of a suspension? Why not go for it? The bad boy image could only help with recruiting, eh? Well, at least that's what John Adams of the Knoxville News Sentinel says in his aptly titled article No Such Thing as Bad Publicity.
Suspension? Anything but that, right?
Wrong.
Imagine what a suspension would do for the street cred of a coach who needed only a couple of months to establish himself as the SEC's resident maverick and ESPN's must-have college football interview. Better yet, imagine what it would do for recruiting.
Kiffin already has recruited by billboard and rent-a-copter. Recruiting by suspension would be even more creative. The lure would be irresistible.
So this is me calling you out Lane Kiffin. If you're going to talk the talk, then walk the walk. Call a press conference, and let us know exactly what's on your mind. We know you want to do it; you said so much yourself. Or are you going to wuss out at the first sign that you might get spanked by little ole' Mike Slive.

Well, I'll give you credit.
This is a new tactic, at least. ;-)
I’ll have to disappoint you, but with the South Carolina game looming, I’m not going to have time to follow this one too closely. If you do get a hold of Kiffin and make this challenge, though, let us know how it goes.
Mmmmm, bait.
Eric Berry for sending the guy who wins the Heisman spinning 720 degrees in the air at the podium - or for intercepting it and returning it to where it rightfully belongs
Although, I guess since I'm at it:
He doesn’t have to say anything else. You already know what he’d say, otherwise you wouldn’t have posted this. It’s a complete non-starter; he’s said what he’s meant to say without saying it directly. (And it’s not like he hasn’t already run afoul of Silve before.)
But I do agree with Hoop: it’s a pretty slick new trick y’all got there. But as a general rule, avoid using John Adams to back your argument up in the future.

Well obviously he has something else he wants to say. But my point goes beyond this week’s festivities. You know there’s going to be something that happens in the next few weeks to months that he’s going to have an opinion on. Is he going to man up and let loose or is he going to let little old Mike Slive be his daddy?

This isn't even funny
Seriously if you are going to troll try to at least make sense or be a little humorous, this is just retarded.
It is like me going over to your site and saying Saban must be a little **** b/c he is afraid to cheat anymore publicly now that you are on probation and have been called out for your constant offenses.
Living in Alabama is like living 50 years in the past, they are still just as racist, just as educated, the state constitution forbids any kind of public transportation, and all they can talk about is Bear Bryant
If you could read
you would have been able to read where Adams says suspension is not a good thing.
It may not be that you are too stupid to read though, I bet you just don’t understand sarcasm. Typical ignorant and idiotic bammer, you only understand things in small words that are read out loud to you
