Kiffin went after Meyer and Saban - His arrogance and immaturity will be his downfall

Kiffin falsely accused Urban of cheating and made snide comments about Nick Saban. Kiffin also ridiculed Richardson's High School suggesting that they would try to sabotage the fax because the high school wanted Richardson to go to Florida. Here's another article about the situation by an ESPN writer.

National signing day has come and gone, and Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin is still chirping.

During a recruiting breakfast attended by more than 1,000 people on Thursday morning at the Knoxville Convention Center, Kiffin accused Florida coach Urban Meyer of a recruiting violation and gloated that the Vols were still able to get receiver Nu'Keese Richardson away from the Gators.

Kiffin also took aim at Alabama coach Nick Saban and suggested that Saban should "thank" new Tennessee assistant Lance Thompson for the Crimson Tide's No. 2-ranked class. Thompson was one of Saban's best recruiters at Alabama before leaving to join the Tennessee staff in January.

Thompson even got into the act and assured the crowd that Saban wasn't going to get another one of his players.

All I can say is, "Whew!"

That's a lot of talking for a guy who's never won a game in the SEC, let alone a championship.

But he better be able to back it up on the field. After all, Meyer and Saban have combined to win three BCS national championships and four SEC championships.

And this much we know about Meyer: He's not one to let off the gas pedal.

Think he might save a few timeouts for the final seconds if the Gators get the Vols down in the Swamp next season?

Stay tuned.
