Per the VF article, Kiffin also had some mighty struggles with booze:
"A drinking problem, Kiffin says candidly, also marred his early years in coaching. He’d started out pounding beers before developing a taste for vodka. The booze also damaged his marriage; Kiffin and his wife, Layla, divorced in 2016. “My whole drive when I was younger was like, How fast can I get everything? How fast can I get the big job? The big contract?” he says. “As I’ve gotten older, I’ve tried to work on that, making decisions that are more delayed gratification…I got tired of digging out of hangovers, tired of digging out of situations or things I said. ”"
