“I’m fully committed to where I’m at,” Kiffin said. “This is a wonderful place. I love the people here. Anytime we get attention like that, it’s just a credit to our players and what they’re doing.”
“I’m just totally focused on our program here,” he added.

Kiffin also discussed when he recently traveled to the airport at which former USC athletic director Pat Haden fired him back in 2013. Kiffin said it was “very eerie” and “a little bit strange” to fly into the airport while on a recruiting visit to Los Angeles.
