Manning won't assess Kiffin
More HERE..KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — How has Lane Kiffin done so far as Tennessee’s football coach?
Peyton Manning can’t answer that question.
The Indianapolis Colts quarterback and former Vols standout said it would be at least two years before he can properly evaluate Kiffin, who replaced Philip Fulmer last Dec. 1.
“Kind of what I’ve learned, it’s kind of like when we draft players with the Colts,” Manning said Monday during a charity golf event here. “Two weeks after the draft they say ’well how was the draft?’ I used to be wrong. I used to say ’this guy is great and on and on.’
“My answer now is ask me in two years. I’ll tell you how we did in the draft. I think it’s kind of that same way (with Kiffin).”
Manning met with Kiffin later Monday afternoon. It was the second time Kiffin and Manning have met in person since Kiffin was hired.
