The question: What type of coach would make the comments Kiffin made last night?

The answer:

1. A drunk coach

2. A coach that holds some deep rooted level of insecurity and feels that he has to put down the opposition and tell people what he has done, rather than letting his actions speak for themselve.

What Shotgun think happened:

I think there has been a building insecurity in Kiffin over the last few months.

For his entire career and life, it is plausible to think that Kiffin has likely found his significance in life and success in his career by being associated with the Kiffin name. However, over the past 4 months, in football, the Kiffin name has become synonymous with "dog shit". And like many of us who have had a parent loose their job, get arrested, or turn to drugs and alcohol, you can become ashame and embarrassed of your family name and who you are as a person. Combine that with an underachieving season, sputtering recruiting class, getting beat in the Egg Bowl, and on the verge of getting your ass destroyed in the 2015 class, it's easy to see where a person could be indirectly calling for help with it disguised as bravado and non sense.

Therefore, it is clear to me that these comments are a direct result of an insecure human being, that displays impulse reactions, lacks big picture perspective, discipline, likely had a few drinks, and is calling for help due to fear of what his future may hold.
