Kiffin thinks lawsuit motivated by location
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) -Lane Kiffin thinks the Tennessee Titans' lawsuit against him and the University of Southern California is more about geography than coaching etiquette.
Kiffin claimed he wasn't allowed to say much Thursday at the Pac-10 media day about the suit facing Kiffin and the Trojans, who angered Titans coach Jeff Fisher by abruptly hiring running backs coach Kennedy Pola last weekend.
Yet Kiffin couldn't stop himself from intimating the lawsuit has something to do with his stormy history in the state of Tennessee.
Kiffin left the University of Tennessee in January after just 14 months running the program to take his self-described dream job at USC.
The lawsuit claims Kiffin violated Pola's contract by making contact without permission.
