Pat Summitt not surprised by Lane Kiffin’s troubles
"Obviously, he's still got issues he's dealing with and I'm not surprised"...
Lane Kiffin's troubles with the state of Tennessee started with the Vols football team and recently extended to the Titans. This may shock you but you can count the winningest coach in women's basketball history in the "not necessarily a fan" category. Speaking to AM 790 in Atlanta, Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt expressed her satisfaction with a Kiffin-less campus:
"Obviously, he's still getting in trouble. I think when Lane was here it was very short-lived. I did get to know him because he was our coach but I think we're in a much better situation right now. Obviously, he's still got issues he's dealing with and I'm not surprised."
How do you know you're not well liked? When the team you left behind is picked to finish next to last in the SEC East and a former colleague considers it to be a "better situation" without you.
Let me repeat that: 5th in the SEC East. Behind Kentucky. Worst preseason placement since divisional alignment in 1992.
Better situation indeed.
