The coach at Ole Miss is up to his old tricks.
Enter your email to subscribe to Joe’s weekly newsletter, Sports Happy Hour:That’s meant in a good way, or at least in the best way possible, but the news conference orchestrated by Kiffin on Sunday left little doubt about the SEC’s merry prankster.
“It certainly seems like T-Rob’s now calling the defense,” Kiffin said. “We played him before at South Carolina, so we’re preparing accordingly, you know, for him calling the defense. He’s done a good job too. And they’ve got really good players.”It’s unscrupulous, incorrigible, speculative warcraft meant to serve as subterfuge, but at the same time hysterical.
In sports, people often say that there’s a game within the game. Well, in the SEC there is always a soap opera playing out inside the drama. Kiffin coached with Saban at Alabama from 2014 to 2016. He was then fired by Saban before the 2017 national championship game.
