Jumbo Package: Kiffin says Alabama wanted him to wear a bulletproof vest in Knoxville

Happy Friday, everyone. Somebody, this time ESPN’s Marty Smith, gave Lane Kiffin a microphone again, and Lane had something amusing to say as usual.

“It’s crazy, they were literally talking, like from the bus (ride) in, a bulletproof vest,” Kiffin said. “I’m like ‘come on guys. This is football.’ They had security with me the whole time, walking on the field and stuff like that. But I was like ‘I’m not wearing a vest guys. That’s a little too over-the-top.’”

In case you forgot, this is what Lane was dealing with back in 2010 (explicit language warning):
