Monte Kiffin: I want to tell you this right now - I ain’t retiring, OK?

Monte Kiffin isn’t going anywhere,
and the first-year Tennessee defensive coordinator clearly isn’t a fan of anybody suggesting otherwise.
Wherever the rumors Kiffin might retire or return to the NFL might have started, he made crystal clear after practice Thursday where they should end.
“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. "
“I didn’t coach in the NFL 25 years to come to Tennessee and get experience to go back to the NFL. I’m not here because of my kid and grandkids, that may be a little bit of the reason, but I’m going to tell you right here, I’m not going. I’m going to stay right here, I love it here and I’m going to coach here as long as I can coach.” The SEC Rocks!
