Hmmm… looks like Coach Kiffin and Urban Meyer are not likely to be sharing martinis in the bathtub anytime soon…

Seems Florida got a bit upset over Kiffin’s statements regarding Meyer contacting recruits during official visits:

Florida didn’t take Kiffin’s comments lightly. It released a statement from athletic director Jeremy Foley on Thursday afternoon.

[Said Kiffin]  “I’ve been made aware by the Southeastern Conference that my comments this morning at a breakfast with our donors violated a conference policy. In my enthusiasm for our recruiting class, I made some statements that were meant solely to excite those at the breakfast.

“I apologize to Commissioner Mike Slive and the SEC, including Florida AD Jeremy Foley and coach Urban Meyer. My comments were not intended to offend anyone at the University of Florida.”

Right or wrong, I’m glad Kiff had the chutzpah to call Meyer out. It’s about time somebody did.  I’ll also give him props for having some class in admitting he might have overstated things just a bit.

Boy this is already getting fun, and it’s just February…
