I too am not sorry to see Kiffin gone. ("I wish him well, I really do - as long as he's in California.") Good quote from the SEC commissioner.

Along with several million other UT and SEC fans.

That didn't exactly enhance his popularity around the SEC, and it didn't improve when Kiffin threw around conspiracy theories about officiating after a controversial loss at Alabama, which prompted the league to give Slive the ability to hand out punishments for violations of the sportsmanship rule.

What exactly was controversial about the loss? Kiffin advanced his hair-brained conspiracy theory, but the truth that eventually came out was that once again Kiffin simply did not know the rules.

In some ways I'm going to miss that clown. I was hoping for at least a couple of years of humiliation and then an NCAA investigation for UT out of the Kiffin hire.

In addition to not knowing the rules, he also insinuated that the refs would find a reason to hand the game to Alabama. Or, at least, that was the pathetic excuse he gave when questioned about why he ran the ball at the end of the game instead of, you know, actually trying to win by passing down field.

He also tried to blame us for the head sets going out at the start of the game. Unfortunately for him, it came out later that his staff was incompetent and tried to plug every piece of equipment they brought into a single breaker and overloaded it.

I'm sorry to see him go as well. It would have been fun to watch a total UT melt down.

Some credible posters on here believe that the headseat deal was intentional on UT's part. They benefitted more from that mess than we did.

Slive must not care much for comic relief.

Yeah, I'm sorry to see him go too... although I like Dooley, it was fun to watch Kiffy-poo run himself into the ground...

I definitely wanted revenge after last season's game, despite the fact that we won. But there's always a chance we'll get that opportunity as long as he remains an NCAA head coach.

I think it will still be, but the competition at USC won't be near as tough as it was at UT.

I just don't see it happening. USC will never be at the level again as long as Wonderboy is the head coach and I just don't see the Tide slipping under Coach Saban.

Only in the view of a TenorC blogger.
