In leaving, Kiffin said over and over that he'd been at Tennessee for 14 months.
Not quite.
Kiffin was offered the job on November 28, 2008, the Friday before the Kentucky game, but he wasn't introduced until November 30th.
So he's officially been at Tennessee for 1 year and 13 days. (Evidently I missed a month in my calculations here, he's been at Tennessee for 13 months. This is why I took a course called Mathematical Ideas in college. One of our exam questions involved coming up with an imaginary formula to count how many squares there were on a soccer ball. Also, we had to answer an essay question about whether we liked addition or subtraction better. I am not making this up.)
Even giving him 13 months is rounding up.
But I love that he chose to go with 14 months instead of just saying a year, as if 14 months is a commitment and one year is much less so.
