Title: Apparently John Adams relies on sources...

...of information other than his own employer.

GoVolsXtra Article:  "At the end of the day, I am a man of my word.  I promised Coach Kiffin when I was hired at USC that I had goals I wanted to accomplish here.  We still have work to do here to reach those goals.   I see a great future at USC with the players on our roster and the recruits we have coming in.” Emphasis added.

Adams Column:  "I made a commitment to my players at USC," Martin told USCFootball.com in saying why he was staying put.  UT fans can live with that explanation.  Imagine if Martin had said, in rejecting the Vols, "I made a commitment to Coach Kiffin."  Emphasis added.

Ummmmm, Mr. Adams, Martin saying -- "I promised Coach Kiffin when I was hired at USC that I had goals I wanted to accomplish here.  We still have work to do here to reach those goals." -- sure seems to me to be an awful lot like -- "I made a commitment to Coach Kiffin."  :rolleyes:  And, imagine that, the Vols fans can live with that too.  I had forgotten how much I dislike his writing, and I almost regret checking it yesterday and today.  Back to putting him on ignore mode.  Well, maybe.  :wink:
