I'd rather have Phil Fulmer or Howard Schnellenburger. I'd rather have the flu. Kiffin makes Cal look like Mr. Integrity.

RE: Lane kiffin?
Speaking of Fulmer, he was a speaker at a conference I attended last weekend. Told some great stories. Mentioned Kiffen and said he was willing to do whatever it took to keep him out of the state of TN. It was intended to be funny and part of another story but clearly an opinion on the man.

Kiffin went to Bama to redeem himself and hit the restart button. He was on strict "keep your 'f....ing' mouth shut" or your outta here. Of course that's the order for all assistants down there.

LK has a history of self-destructing. Has he been transformed? Nobody knows for sure and won't until he runs his own program again. I think we do know his clock here would begin to count down the day we hired him. He can recruit. He can build offenses.

Would I hire him? Only if we are desperate.

Oh, he looks like one of those jackasses that got money from daddy and is driving around town in a Jaguar without a job and plays tennis all the time.

I mean, just LOOK at that smart-ass smug look on his face. Hell YES, I want him as my new football coach. He will piss off everybody we play and all of the local SEC schools. I admit, I am totally jaded right now, but I'm moving into the IDGAF mode where it's all about winning and very little to do with likable personalities and personal relationships. You think people in Alabama actually LIKE Nick Saban? I'm thinkin' no. He's elitist, cantankerous, and totally unpleasant. But he wins games.

Now here's someone that gets it. +3

Thing is, this guy really does NOT win games.
53% all time winning percentage.
54% at UTK - which places him 14th out of 23 all-time UTK HC's win %.
65% at USC - which places him 13th out of 26 all-time USC HC's.
25% at Oakland - which places him 15th out of 20 all time Oakland HC's.

So the guy's a jerk and does not win. Don't be hypnotized by the flash.

The UTK homers in state government would cut off our little remaining funding if we hired the Kiffer.

RE: Lane kiffin?
Why don't we just wait and see what the real result is... THEN put forth all the pontificating about who is what and what UTK etc. would have to say. I don't think they would have a thing to say along that line in the first place. You forget who is the head of the TN senate now and who is in control,to some degree, of funding of this and that.

One leader that I hear from said yesterday, " have patience". Might be a good idea.

Happy Thanksgiving , Latty and the rest of you too ! ! !

GO TIGERS ! ! !

The Board of Regents has to sign off on the hire. They won't.

Here is my thought on Kiffen...NO. He has been a HC three times and three times failed. He can try again someplace else, just not Memphis.

Pretty much sums up why I wouldn't want him. You don't need to be a Jack Wad to win. The people that want kiffen might be the same as the ones that like B. Pearl. I seriously wouldn't go to see either.

He looks like he's in his oooT monogrammed bathrobe to me, so I don't get the sunglasses... unless he's been hired to dance at a gathering of female boosters.

RE: Lane kiffin?
Kiffin is a great OC, and a mediocre HC. They are different jobs. One does not translate into the other. Some make the transition, others struggle with it. Kiffin has struggled with it.
