Wants to return to the NFL. The Kiffin's sure do know a lot about dedication and commitment.

Monte Kiffin is the coach who said the Gamecocks were poor tacklers. Well UT beat Carolina that year.

Didn't he turn in Clemson and Danny Ford?

There was pressure for Lane to fire Monte, so he may have resigned to make it easier on his son. Monte never adjusted to the college game, same issue many NFL coaches have in college. College offenses are much harder to defend than pro, because they have more personnel groupings and variations they can do. Just think about a team like Oregon and their spread. They literally can line up one play in a 5 wide set, but have all them being RB then the next play in the same formation they can line up with 5 WR. Those are two totally different packages for a D and involved different ways of defending them. In the pros with the small 53 man roster, you can't have such variation of personnel.

Ford thought he did. WSPA had video on their conversation but I haven't been able to find it. From the SI archives 11/02/82.

Following Clemson's 38-29 win over North Carolina State on Oct. 23, the coaches of the two teams, Danny Ford and Monte Kiffin, met on the field in Raleigh for what reporters, fans and other onlookers assumed would be the customary postgame handshake. A testy exchange ensued. Clemson has been under NCAA investigation for some time for possible recruiting violations, and Ford was unhappy that NCAA officials had visited the North Carolina State campus to question Wolfpack players who'd also been recruited by the Tigers. Ford's dialogue on the subject with Kiffin was picked up on tape by Raleigh (N.C.) TV station WPTF:
Ford: "My ass you didn't turn us in.... They [the NCAA] have been up here three times...."
Kiffin: "I didn't tell them.... I didn't tell them."
Ford: "Who did?"
Kiffin: "I never did. I never turned you in.... They came up here. I don't know how they got here."
Asked about this exchange with Ford, Kiffin at first denied it had taken place but changed his tune when informed that the tape existed. Ford was a bit slippery, too. After first trying to claim that his confrontation with Kiffin had been "a private conversation"—a curious objection, considering it had occurred amid a milling crowd—Ford said, "Ain't no telling what I said after the game. But if I said it, I said it." Having thus acknowledged (well, sort of) that the conversation had taken place, Ford and Kiffin next addressed themselves, with equally enigmatic effect, to the substantive issue of whether Kiffin had, in fact, blown the whistle on Clemson. The word from Ford: "I don't know if he did it or not. If he did, that's his business, and if we turn them in, it's our business." And Kiffin: "I didn't turn him in. But if I had, I wouldn't have been wrong." On the fact that Ford had dared accuse him of such a thing, Kiffin added, "I don't think he probably necessarily meant it."

Oh yeah, but people said Monte Kiffin told Ford UNC turned him in.

[Copperhead]

Curious what NFL team would express interest. On a different topic.....Did you really refer to southern cal as USC? shame shame shame
