Lane Kiffin Press Conference

Lane Kiffin Press Conference:On June 8, 2009 the Raiders organization issued a statement about Lane Kiffin in Tennessee:

“Lane Kiffin is a flat-out liar. He lied to the team, he lied to the fans, and he lied to the media. He will try to destroy that university like he tried to destroy the Raiders…”

Sounds like Herrera, but also sounds like Al Davis.

Before that, Al Davis had his famous press conference denouncing Kiffin as well.

This is breaking news; I cannot furnish the reader with Vol’s contractual details just yet. ESPN just interrupted some basketball game every five minutes for the last 20 minutes to broadcast this.

Kiffin’s OC: Norm Chow.

Kiffin’s DC: His legendary father, Monte, of the greatest Buccaneers eras.

USC picked up what appeared to be a large package.

Al Davis was right. Upon multiple accusations he made at his “crazy” press conference, one was that Lane was getting Al to tamper with Tampa Bay in recruiting Monte Kiffin. That is something Al Davis wouldn’t do, he snarled.

The other accusation was Lane Kiffin feeding lies to ESPN and Chris Mortenson, which I believe to be true, since Al Davis cryptically alluded to monitoring Kiffin’s company cell phone.

But, for you Al Davis haters, would also seem to tarnish Davis in this sordid affair as well and confirm his control freak tendencies.

You’ll get better and more informed stories than this, believe me. This is breaking and confirmed my suspicion that the old man was completely in his right mind—albeit more feeble and physically appearing as an 80-year-old—during that historical, one of a kind press conference.

The only thing Kiffin said (it was actually Al Davis who said Kiffin said it) that may have merit is, “I can’t win with Jamarcus Russell.”

Kiffin also talked generously to the press (google it, it’s recent) with a whole-hearted endorsement of Tom Cable as head coach, especially towards Cable’s character in the midst of all the ESPN smear job concerning his past.

All the dust is settling right now and there are too many mixed messages from every party involved. I never felt Al was crazy in that press conference, and a lot of what he had to say about Lane Kiffin is evidently true.

Tennessee Football Players Arrested

Tennessee Football Players Arrested,Three Tennessee football players find themselves in cuffs, instead of a uniform after an early morning bust in Knoxville.
Police arrested wide receiver Nu’Keese Richardson, defensive back Janzen Jackson, and Mike Edwards following an armed robbery attempt at the Pilot Conveniance store on Cumberland Avenue.

The victims told police they were sitting in their parked vehicle near the campus when two males, one carrying a handgun, approached.
The two men demanded whatever the victims had.
When the victims showed they had no money, the suspects joined a third man in a Toyota Prius and left.
Police located the vehicle — and found a pellet gun, drug paraphernalia and a plastic bag containing what appeared to be marijuana.
Tennessee athletic director Mike Hamilton says he’s evaluating the incident.

Janzen Jackson

Janzen Jackson,Safety Janzen Jackson and receiver Nu’Keese Richardson, two of coach Lane Kiffin’s most prized signees from his first recruiting class, were among three Tennessee football players arrested early Thursday morning in Knoxville on charges of attempted armed robbery.

The third player arrested was also a freshman, defensive back Mike Edwards. It was not immediately clear if the players have attorneys.

According to a Knoxville City Police report, the arrests stemmed from an attempted robbery outside a convenience store near campus. A powered pellet gun was recovered in the players’ car after they were stopped by police near the Gibbs Hall dormitory on campus, where the Vols’ freshman football players live.
At least one of the players arrested was wearing some type of Tennessee gear during the attempted robbery, according to police.

A fourth suspect, a woman alleged to have been driving a car with the three players as passengers, was also arrested.

“At this time we are currently evaluating the circumstances surrounding an incident involving Mike Edwards, Janzen Jackson and Nu’Keese Richardson,” Tennessee athletic director Mike Hamilton said in a prepared statement. “Any decisions or comments regarding their status will not be made until the evaluations are complete.”

As recently as Wednesday, during the SEC coaches teleconference, Kiffin had praised his team for not having any off-the-field problems during his tenure and had repeated several times this year that the Vols had been free of any such incidents.

Jackson had started in all but two games this season for the Vols and had emerged as one of the better freshman players in the SEC. He was suspended for last week’s Memphis game for what Kiffin said was a violation of team rules. According to two sources, that suspension came on the heels of a failed drug test.

There was some speculation a week ago that Richardson might be considering a transfer when he wasn’t at a practice, but Kiffin said there were no issues and that everything was fine. Richardson scored a touchdown in the Vols’ 56-28 win over Memphis last week.

Richardson, of Pahokee, Fla., was at the center of Kiffin’s dust-up with Florida coach Urban Meyer last February. Richardson had been committed to Florida for some time, but switched to Tennessee on signing day. The next day, at a Tennessee recruiting breakfast, Kiffin made his comments alleging Meyer cheated to get Richardson and still wasn’t abe to sign him. Kiffin was reprimanded by the SEC for those comments.

According to the police report, the victims of the robbery were in their car outside a Pilot convenience store, parked next to a Toyota Prius, when a black male approached wearing a hooded sweatshirt, brandishing what appeared to be a handgun, opened the drivers’ side door and said “Give me everything you have.” A second black male also wearing a hooded sweatshirt then came around to the passenger side of the victims’ car, opened it and said, “give us everything you’ve got.”

But when the victims opened their wallets and showed they had no money, a third black male approached the other two and said “we’ve got to go,” and all three got into the Prius and drove away, according to the police report.

Police said when they pulled over the Prius, they found a black air-powered pellet gun and a pair of hooded sweatshirts. Police also said they found a marijuana grinder, which the driver, Marie Montmarquet, said belonged to her, and a baggie containing what appeared to be marijuana in Montmarquet’s jacket.

According to police, the victims later identified Edwards and Richardson as the men who had approached them.
