“Can you believe that somebody out there — and it’s been a couple and I’m not going to say who — but they said they think Monte Kiffin is going to retire so you may not want to go there and play for him because he probably won’t be there,” said Kiffin, who left the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to join his son Lane Kiffin at UT. “I want to tell you this right now — I ain’t retiring, OK? I’m not going back to the NFL.
This stuff happens all the time in recruiting. You think other schools don't tell recruits that they shouldn't go to Arkansas b/c Petrino may leave at any time? Don't go to Florida b/c Meyer is headed to ND? Spurrier will probably retire? Don't go to Auburn to play for Malzahn because he'll be gone soon?
UT coaches have their panties in an everlasting wad.

Definitely happens all the time. In fact, it happens by the coaching staff we're talking about right now. Some of our prospects/commitments have come back from visits to UT, and said Kiffin and Co. told them, depending on whether the kid played on offense or defense, that Meyer and/or Strong would be leaving after this season.

I think Strong will leave UF soon. He has already tested the waters for a head coaching job.
As far as UT lots of people said he wouldn't be able to keep that staff together very long. People will come after them for coaching jobs elsewhere. And with that recruiting and the 2nd year new coach in the SEC curse we have going on I would say look out for them next year.
