Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin dropped a loaded accusation on Oklahoma head coach BrentVenables, writing the script for the perfect pre-game drama.
Venables, however, had other plans by responding in the most non-dramatic way possible. The Sooners' head coach took it in the most optimistic way he could, as a compliment.
And after the whole exchange made headlines as sign-stealing accusations, Kiffin clarified his take on Venables.
"They do a great job of overall, everything. Playing plays. The signal thing, that’s a compliment. Part of your job is to ready your players all week for the plays that come and then try to figure out on game day what they are," Kiffin said in his weekly SEC Coaches teleconference.
