T.J. Simers blessed us with this gem of journalism this morning that beautifully illustrates Lane Kiffin's winning personality.
Best interview of the year. Here is an excerpt:
Finally, the right button is pushed when he's asked how devastating it might be to his reputation if Neuheisel wins and he doesn't Saturday.
"I've been called by two Pac-10 coaches," he says with a smirk. "I won't tell you their names, but they called me to say, 'Please don't let him win this game.' ''
I guess "Sark," former USC assistant Steve Sarkisian, who is now the head coach at Washington.
"I won't mention names," Kiffin repeats, "but if you called all the other seven coaches [in the Pac-10] they would probably say the same thing."
Yowza, I knew he could do it. Now maybe everyone here will better appreciate the laugh that Tennessee basketball Coach Bruce Pearl was going for Monday.
Pearl has been suspended for eight games for violating NCAA rules, but he spoke to the Knoxville Quarterback Club.
"I've made mistakes, I clearly did," Pearl tells the group. "But what I was hoping for was that some other dumbass would get on the front page and take me off the hook.
"I miss Lane Kiffin."
