When McAfee asked how he deals with handling these types of rumors with the team, Kiffin had an interesting answer.<\/p>\n
“Yeah, I usually don’t talk about it with the team,” he said. “We’ve dealt with this for a number of years because our players have performed really well and won a lot of games here. And so this attention has come with that.<\/p>\n
“I just told them, ‘Hey, this is a product of how you guys play; they see the way that you play.’ So then, fans are like, ‘We want that system.’ But really, it’s the system of the players and the assistant coaches, and what a good job they do. So I just told them that’s a compliment to them,” Kiffin added. “And I think it’s easier for them nowadays because basically the same thing happens to them. Our freshman receiver has a good game, and by Saturday night, he’s got three calls from places telling him, ‘Hey, come here, we’ll give you more money’… So I don’t think it’s that big a deal to them.”<\/p>\n
