Florida High School Coach Is Shutting Lane Kiffin Out

It sounds like the previous regime had extended this kid an offer and he committed, and the coach just wanted to hear that Kiffin was still going to honor the commitment. IMO Kiffin should have honored the commitment to stay in the goodwill of the area coaches. You can win a lot of games in CUSA with just the second and third tier guys from Miami.

nope. happens all the time and should. If a coach/program is shady and acting in ways that are damaging to his student athletes, the coach has the responsibility to protect his current and future players. The player and family can chose to communicate if they want, but the coach has the obligation to protect kids if he has knowlesdge of coaches with potentially bad intentions. In short, one of the kids on his team was committed to FAU prior to the coaching change. Kiffin and FAU were not being forthright on the kids scholarship offer (were they going to honor it or not?). With national signing day looming the kid needed to know if Kiffin was going to honor it or not. Kiffin slow played the kid to see if he could upgrade with another player he liked better. Kiffin had the balls to call the coach and ask about another one of his kids. Coach did his job and protected his guy.. asked Kiffin for status on the existing committed recruit. Kiffin did what Kiffin does.. lied and acted like a scum bag. Coach told FAU/Kiffin to go fuk themselves and stay away from his school... as he should.
