PAHOKEE -- What does Tennessee football coach Lane Kiffin need to do to fully make amends in Pahokee?
Hop on a plane, Principal Ariel Alejo said Monday.
Three months after Kiffin insulted the school and community while talking to Tennessee boosters, a new controversy was sparked last week.
Tennessee assistant coach Eddie Gran, who helped swing star receiver Nu'Keese Richardson from Florida to the Volunteers, arrived at Pahokee's campus last week to offer junior Antonio Ford a scholarship.
Upset that Kiffin has yet to directly apologize to the school and the community for implying they are inept, Alejo told Gran no one from Tennessee is permitted on school grounds until Kiffin satisfies that demand.
Kiffin apologized to Blue Devils coach Blaze Thompson publicly and privately, but Alejo and Pahokee Chamber of Commerce President Lewis Pope III want Kiffin to attend an open meeting in Pahokee to clear the matter with the community and school.
