Fisher Questions Kiffin's Professionalism

Oct 14, 2014 9:42 PM

Titans coach Jeff Fisher has questioned the professionalism of USC's Lane Kiffin after the latter hired away the former's running backs coach. Kiffin has hired Titans running backs coach Kennedy Pola to serve as offensive coordinator at USC. "I am very disappointed in Lane Kiffin's approach to this," Fisher told The Tennessean on Saturday. "Typically speaking, when coaches are interested in hiring or discussing potential employment from coaches on respective staffs there is a courtesy call made from the head coach or athletic director indicating there is an interest in talking to the assistant. "So I am very disappointed in the lack of professionalism on behalf of Lane, to call me and leave me a voicemail after Kennedy had informed me he had taken the job. It is just a lack of professionalism."
