Lane Kiffin: Rebound Girl

And I want to say to all of those who stay in Knoxville despite Rebound Girl going to sleep around in a California with the REAL big bad boys with REAL big bad penalties coming up: Thank You.

For those of you who are going to leave, either with our “lubbable” coaches or elsewhere: well, you never really were a Volunteer. You aren’t part of our family.

Guys like Kiffin have no loyalty, conscience, etc. NOT the kind of guy that was going to fit in here long term. Let’s hope we get our new man SOON and that our current players have some influence on our recruiting commits. I think we now know that “integrity” and “character” should be near the top of the list of traits we are looking for as opposed to “hotshot” and “brash”.

But the short-term, man. I can’t think of very many ways that we aren’t toast. I just hope Oregeron’s classy academic interference/recruiting during the dead period/whatever else they can pin on him gets USC serious penalties. In addition to whatever ones they were already getting. And I hope we can hire somebody that can pick up the pieces and restore us to our once proud perch atop the SEC. I just don’t know where that coach will come from.

Let me first say that my family has a place in their heart for the wonderful hospitality of the Vol Nation when we visited Neyland stadium this past year for the only quality Bruin victory of this past season. IIRC we mainly won because your QB Crompton threw 4 interceptions, but that is besides the point.

Before, during and after the game we were blown away by the truly royal and gracious treatment we were given. From the Rocky Top welcome of the football team by the band and thousands of fans, to the zeal of Neyland stadium, to the unbelievable class of your fans in defeat, we could not get over the entire, wonderful, Tennessee experience from Nashville to Knoxville and back.

That’s what college football should be about, and you guys and gals are all class

Your outrage at being betrayed at such a critical time in the recruiting process is understandable. You have every right to feel that way, because Kiffin proved he cares nothing for UT or the kids he recruited or the team he claimed he was leading to the promised land.

Now he’s even trying to mess with our coaching staff. Unbelievable.

Just remember, you’re better off without this slimebucket. He would have tainted your program forever. No doubt you will replace him with a better man very soon.

Don’t worry about revenge. Leave that to us back here in Bruintown. It will be our pleasure to beat them down for you, at least until you get a chance to play that piece of crap sometime on the future in a bowl game and give him some nice payback yourself.

GO VOLS!

…he was the stripper. We married a stripper. Now we’re surprised she skipped town with the bellhop. Perhaps we shouldn’t be. I hear this is what strippers do.

He is NOT an evil abuser of young men as youmay have been led to beleive and he could have a top notch staff in place tomorrow.

I hope you don’t hire him because I would like UT to be an easy win (no disrespect) next year but for the good of the SEC and Rocky Top, which I like more than any other SEC School not arrayed in Purple and Gold, I think this guy would be a homerun and could quickly salvage the recruiting class.

Just leave Chavis alone!!

You’re better off without Lame Kitten. I would get Leach in a heart beat.

1. This is a stupid sport. Ultimately this is a blip in the history of a proud program. In a day when there is so much tangible and physical pain in a country not that far away, I feel guilty for getting upset over a stupid game and a stupid coach. (now for a rant disregarding the guilt in point one, see point two below)

2. You know in the old movies where somebody will say the villains name and then spit? I didn’t really get that until today. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to say “Lane Kiffin” without spitting in the dust to get the taste out of my mouth. In the end it isn’t even that he left. I don’t think anyone really trusted him to be a long termer, but it’s how he left. He left us out cold. We defended him when others scoffed, and he ends up being the very mercenary characterization we were defending him from. And the bull of it is, is that he could have had it all. See his vision through and he would be a hero in this state. Build it and they will come, take over after the architect leaves and you’ll be forever measured. He told us he was going to build, and he didn’t even lay a foundation. That’s the reason I’ll spit after saying Kiffin’s name. Because even in this day and age, when you say your going to do something, you do it. And I don’t think anybody here will ever forget that. It’s not that mercenaries never work out (they do – see Nick Saban), and it’s not that we don’t expect mercenaries to leave for greener pastures (real or perceived), it’s that we expect even a mercenary to have some honor in the way they do business. Kiffin has none, and that’s why this day is bitter.

Hi TN fans! I am obviously a UCLA fan, but my boyfriend is a TN fan and lives in Knoxville. My company has an office outside of Knoxville so I visit TN every month and I have been a VOL fan too for a long time (my second favorite team). When Kiffin was hired I was really bummed out. It made it hard to root for y’all, not just because he is a trOJan, but because he is just a total JERK. I’m glad he’s gone. The University of Tennessee can do MUCH better than a classless weasel who runs out like this.
GO VOLS!

I said at the time that we lost badly to a bad football team, and that proved just how bad we were. This just underscores that. The Bulldogs sucked last year, the loss in Knoxville was the ignominious low point of the worst season of the Mark Richt era, and today will be the 743rd consecutive day of abject suckitude in Bulldog Nation. None of us have ever doubted that, and yesterday’s events don’t ameliorate that reality; in fact, they make it worse.

We’re saying “I told you so” because we told you so and a Tennessee fan base I have always found to be the classiest among Georgia’s annual rivals responded with an attitude acquired from a head coach who had no capacity whatsoever to deliver on that attitude. A program that recruited well, played good defense, and lost seven games in 2008 turned into a program that recruited well, played good defense, and lost six games in 2009, but this charlatan managed to convince people that this represented an enormous turnaround. It didn’t.

Nevertheless, although the other eleven SEC teams are reveling in Kiffinfreude this morning, y’all at least have the consolation about your head coaching search that we have about our defensive coordinator search; namely, there’s nowhere to go but up from here.

The next time we try to give you some friendly advice, though, remember that we were right the first time.

But, he was a dice roll anyway. Better he leave now then run the program into the ground and bail. As it stands, you guys get a chance to bring in someone with fire and save your recruiting class. It is kind of short notice though . . .

Hate to have to pick a coach with just a few days. My suggestion, Boise State’s Peterson.

Good Lord, what a crazy Silly Season this is shaping up to be!

Let’s get Mike Leach and his pirate fetish?

Let’s get Mike Gundy and his “I’m a man! I’m forty!”.

Let’s get Jim Mora and “Playoffs? PLAYoffs?”.

Or should we try to get Bobby Bowden?

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!
