Lane Kiffin: Mega-Bag-O-Douche

Some people you can look at and tell right away that they are complete and total f*ck chops … like our founding editor, for example, or University of Tennessee head coach Lane Kiffin.

Seriously, people … just look at that guy and try to keep the words “douche bag” from popping into your mind.

It’s like gravity, you just can’t fight it.

Anyway, Kiffin was reprimanded for the second time this season by the Southeastern Conference after he criticized SEC officials who worked the Volunteers’ 12-10 loss to Alabama in Tuscaloosa Saturday.

Specifically, Kiffin complained that Crimson Tide defensive lineman Terrence Cody should have been flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after he removed (and threw) his helmet on the last play of the game.

Cody blocked a 44-yard field goal attempt that would have given Tennessee an upset over then top-ranked Alabama – his second blocked kick of the game.

In addition to complaining about the no-call, Kiffin also whined that he didn’t run another offensive play prior to attempting the field goal because “I wasn’t going to let the refs lose the game for us there.”

Good Lord.

SEC Commissioner Mike Slive added that Kiffin could be suspended if he keeps up his whiny ways.

“This is the second reprimand for Coach Kiffin in this calendar year,” Slive said in a statement. “Coach Kiffin is on notice that any further violations of SEC policies will subject him to additional penalties, including suspension.”

Tennessee plays South Carolina in Knoxville on Halloween night in a game that will be televised nationally by ESPN.

Kiffin has been “on notice” with South Carolina fans for some time now owing to his attempted meddling with star recruit Alshon Jeffery.  The Volunteer coach told Jeffery that if he attended South Carolina he would end up “pumping gas for the rest of his life.”

Jeffery has over 400 yards receiving and five touchdowns in his last four games.
