KIFFIN SAYS HE DIDN'T WANT ARKANSAS JOB

Raiders coach Lane Kiffin said on Wednesday that he wasn't interested in the head-coaching job at Arkansas, or at any other college.

"I never had any contact with the University of Arkansas, or any college about any job at all," Kiffin said, according to Jerry McDonald of InsideBayArea.com. "I've done nothing but prepare my team for the upcoming game."

Asked whether he has interested in any college coaching job, Kiffin said: "No, no. I'm coaching the Raiders and getting us ready to play. I don't have any idea where all that information came from."

Folks, what else is Kiffin going to say? If he doesn't get another head-coaching job with a different team, he'll have to come back to the Raiders in 2008. For the same reasons that Nick Saban and Bobby Petrino didn't lay their cards on the table when they were looking to get out of the NFL, Kiffin gains nothing by speaking his mind.

So we stand by our prior story of Kiffin having a tantrum when the Razorback job went to Petrino.

PFT isn't exactly a reliable source.

Hell he'd be pissed if he lost out on the Mgr. position at the bingo hall..................If that'd get him out of Oakland. I can't believe anyone would want to be the head coach of the Raiders./ Baffling..............
