Lane Kiffin made some pretty harsh remarks in the direction of University of Florida coach Urban Meyer when he accused him of cheating while recruiting Nu’Keese Richardson, and one high school in Florida isn’t going to take it. They’ve banned him, as well as any bof his assistants, from their school.
An assistant coach from Tennessee, who was visiting the high school in the Florida town on the edge of Lake Okeechobee, found the welcome mat officially rolled up. Eddie Gran was shown was the door after Pahokee High principal Ariel Alejo asked him to leave.
The story doesn’t say much else, except that the principal couldn’t be reached for comment. Gran said he hopes his actions or a principal’s actions don’t stop a kid from going to college. I don’t think it’ll stop these kids from going to college — just stop them from going to UT, which, based on the few classes I took there (no, really, I did go there), can’t really be considered much of a college. Academically, y’know.
