tenn to change mascot?
 

i'm thinking the vols should become the 'braying asses' with their new coach.

they ran off phil fulmer for this guy?! i was never a fulmer fan, but c'mon. at least get a guy who knows what he's doing.

These are ridiclous violations. The NCAA simply looks past Saban and company absolutely just paying off families yet they have rules against fog machines. The rules are a joke and I wish AZ would start cheating and paying off guys in football like they do in basketball.

Another violation occurred when a fog machine was used as a recruit entered the field at Neyland Stadium during his official visit on Jan. 9.

Under NCAA recruiting rules, schools are prohibited from simulating a game experience for recruits during official visits.



They were getting the recruit ready for the fog machine ahead
of the actual practice used to acclimate the active players
to the stress and game situation readiness the fog machine
simulates...

jeeZUUUS

this guy has always rubbed me the wrong way, he just seems way too cocky for his own good, like a spoiled rich kid or something. And we all know daddy is gonna be running the show down there, ol Lane is just gonna be the face. Hope he spends less time w/the vols then he did w/ the raiders

signing day was last tuesday and kiffin has a kid that wants out of his LOI already. claims kiffin lied to him and his family.
i think kiffin is in WAY over his head in the SEC. he is swimming with the sharks now. not the pansies of the PAC-10.

that's it in a nutshell, he's in over his head. and yes cannon, absolutely they need to revisit some of their rules.
however, i just found it ironic that this bozo comes out swinging at urban meyer, and he's the one breaking rules-absurd as they may be. like the sec said the other day regarding fla and kiffins comments, we expect our coaches to know the rules and regs. he obviously doesn't.

Kind of funny that his Dad was probably the best coach to not ever get a head coaching job and now his son might turn out to the worst coach to keep on getting head coaching jobs.

yeah the SEC coaches are supposed to know the rules but arent required to follow them
His pro record was similar to Spurrier and Sabans and better than Petrino.
of course in the pros you have a salary cap and you cant just pay more than the next guy so coaching actually matters.
Not to mention that Kiffen might have gotten a little recruiting experience at USC.
Coming from where he has been (Al Davis' crypt) the SEC will be a breeze.

I think it is kind of premature to say he is a bad coach dont ya think?
Exactly what coach could have done well in Oakland ? Not a surprise that they started playing better late in the season when Al got sick and the coaches could actually do things like they wanted to.

I said 'might'. I agreed on him in Oakland and thought he'd be a very good coach but I'm starting to give it second thoughts as he keeps sticking his foot in his mouth.

The Old Man is not head coaching material. He had several opportunities to interview for NFL gigs and turned most of them down because he knew his place. I don't think he'll be running the show. He knows one thing, defense. Although, after working with Chucky, he may be able to help his kid with some tips on what not to do with player relations.

I like the fact that the pot is being stirred. I have no idea how he will do, but I will be silently rooting for him to do well and continue to tweak the SEC. Even if he looks like a buffoon doing so.

isn't everyone's??

I cant believe I intentionally took some potshots at Saban and none of the Alabama nuts defended him!!!

I've been waiting as well

be patient. the day is still young...

why should i bother?:wf
i do know that if the SEC doesn't get some control of this recruiting crap. it's going to get VERY Ugly and fast!. ut has a kid wants out already claims he was lied to. SC has a kid that my want out because he was promised Sterling Sharp's retired # and Sharp said no. rumors are flying about an OL that signed at ole miss that there was some "under the table" transactions to get him there.

As a Gator fan, I can't stand the guy. He stole our recruits. :p

I remember all the crap Houston Nutt got with Arkansas.
Now he turns into a genius with Mississippi.

And the world turns.

cause you suck at trolling.

Gee, I wonder where L Kiffin got the fog machine and mock press conference idea? You never here about P Carroll and almighty USC doing anything wrong.
BTW, UT already had reported 7 NCAA violations under Fulmer just this year but LK gets all the heat for his 2.

The coaching staff that UT has assembled is second to none in College FB. Its a who's who list of top recuiters. They will have a top 3 signing gay class the next few years. In part because LK can sell them on the thin depth charts where as UF and Alabama are fully stocked.
