Lame Kiffin to USC

[Hamilton]

Oh, and for everyone ragging on Lance Thompson, it's kind of hard to turn down an offer when you're practically blackmailed into accepting it. I guess a person putting themselves in a position to be blackmailed is one's own fault, though.

I hear Tommy Bowden is walking towards Knoxville as I type.

I hope not. I never liked tator tot before but since I've been able to meet him and the way he brings in the d1 transfers I would hate to see him leave UNA.

Lance Thompson made his own choices and had to move to UT. Now I imagine the - ahem - other parties involved in that decision are enjoying this as much, if not more, than any of us are...

 

[CrimsonSEC]

Just saw this a few minutes ago, wow, just wow.

You've met him and don't realize his name is Terry?

espin sure aint hating on kiffy for dumping on the viles. They act like he is the saviour for u$c football. I hate espin and every blankety blank that works for them.

I think the NCAA has to seriously consider releasing kids from their scholarships when a coach leaves (or is fired) like this after 1 or 2 years. I think there should also be some kind of leverage put on the hiring school. I'm not sure what I want, but I want this merry-go-round circus to stop.

That said, I agree with crimsonaudio!

What about the kids who were going to enroll early and start classes tomorrow???! I would catching a bus out of town tonight!

Well, I don't get it either. What's Kiffins record as a HC, 12-20 ? I think it just proves they're more gullible to BS in LA than they are in Knoxville.

Wow, just WOW!!

How can someone as good and I think as nice as Monte Kiffin is, have raised a son like Lane that is so selfish and self-centered?

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loathe UT and never want them to win, but this is a pathetic way to treat kids that have put their trust in you.

What Fran did to Bama came back to him and what Kiffin is doing will come back to him also. Personally I'm glad he is gone, he was a constant embarassment to this conference and I'm sure to many Vol fans.

USC is getting what they deserve.

Scout.com: Kiffin pulls a Dickey

Veteran Tennessee football fans who suffered through Doug Dickey's abrupt departure in 1969 are experiencing a feeling of deja vu right about now.

No wonder.

Lane Kiffin's sudden decision to leave The Hill in favor of his previous college coaching stop (Southern Cal) has created the same mixture of shock, dismay and outrage among Volunteer fans that arose when Dickey bolted in '69 to take the reins at his alma mater (Florida).

 

[JDCrimson]

Did anyone hear his press conference? Has to be the shortest one in the history of press conferences

What do you expect when the car was already running and waiting outside?

Of course, the huge difference is that CDD at least stayed six years. Since that didn't fit his analogy, he saved that for the very end...

 

[Crimson Surfer]

This is unbelievable. Not only does USC get Kiffin but UT is suddenly without a coach. First I got to witness the tearful departure of Fulmer and now Kiffin sneaks out the backdoor under the cover of darkness. The Vols go from Kiffy to Kippy just like that. Kippy Brown is the interim head coach. lol

I'm sooooooo glad the moron is gone. The SEC don't need a goon like that. I hope the SOB bombs bigtime at USC. And the probation is long and nasty.

I don't have a lot of love for UT, but they didn't deserve this. For that SOB to leave right in the middle of recruiting, with some recruits trying to enroll.. what a classless jerk. I wish I could say what I really feel for that POS.

Considering how I felt when Fran ran, I don't wish this on even Tennessee... Don't blame the fans in Knoxville one bit for acting like fools. No telling what I'd have done if I'd been where I could have done anything, when I heard about Fran flying off...

I just LOVE to think about how Kiffen will handle going through whatever USC may be about to go through with the NCAA. May be the growing up of him, of course....

[Bamaman-n-KS]

Kiffy leaving in the middle of the night?... Sounds like he was kinda expecting this... Can we now call him Lane "Lease Breaker" Kiffin?
