What Lane Kiffin said after winning Egg Bowl
Lane Kiffin was asked after the Egg Bowl if he expects to have his future decided by Nov. 29.
"I feel like I've got to," Kiffin said.
Kiffin said the decision is hard.
"I'm not trying to get pity but it's not as enjoyable as maybe some people think," he said.
"These are hard decisions. You guys have them all the time. You guys (reporters) have to make decisions about jobs you take, where you move. All those things. We get paid a lot so I know ours is under a different spotlight and scrutiny but, you know, a lot of people that are critical of it are the same people that do it all the time."
