But those 4 years without a bowl regardless of success still had to hurt. They'll be back in the ncaa doghouse eventually.
Just like the curse upon the Red Sox for trading Babe Ruth...there is a curse upon the volunteers for Fulmer's forcing Johnny Majors out following his hospitalization. The fact that Tennessee has had no integrity since then (Fulmer cup...now Kiffen/Orgeron) is proof that the problems are probably much higher in the university than the athletic director. (Or it really is a curse.)
Calling for his head: "The bottom line is that Lane Kiffin is clearly in over his head. He does not know what he's doing. There is clearly a lack of institutional control at Tennessee right now. ... He is the one who stood up before influential boosters and called Urban Meyer a "cheater" when Kiffin himself didn't even know the rules. I hate it with a passion. This is not something I ever wanted to write. I had enough with all the Fire Phil articles that I wrote. ... It's clear that Kiffin still does not know the rules. It's clear that Kiffin is nothing more than a kid trying to run a big time program. It's becoming even clearer that the only way to save this program from NCAA doom is to fire the novice now.

My point I was trying to make in my post above is that the problems are reflective of an institutional dysfunction...it's greater than the Kiffen/Orgeron regime...it includes the AD...but it goes all the way up to the president of the University (who's ultimately responsible). Ever since Johnny Majors got hustled out by Fulmer, what you see is what you get as far as the "Tennessee Brand" goes. DRC, what does the general faculty think about this?
Have no idea. My uncle-in-law is in the AD office and he doesnt have much interaction with educational faculty. Thats not his role. The President who orchestrated Fulmers ouster is gone. He had some personal issues especially with his wife. She was a slobbering drunk who embarrassed the office of President one too many times at one too many functions. It was known he was leaving when Kiffin was hired and had little input in the decision. I dont think they have a new President yet either.
Thanks for the update. Umm, that slobbering drunk lady, Does she know the location of the TeamKatt tailgates?...maybe she was just hanging around in the wrong environments. She might fit in well in death valley on Saturday nights. :thumb:.
Arrogant. Attention whore. Must put foot in mouth with every statement. It seems that there is no end to the idiocy that is Kiffin. I could deal with all of that, if he'd actually accomplished something. Instead, he continues to make Tenn either a bad joke or a sour taste in the mouth, depending on if you're a fan of them or not. Doubt they will put up with too more of them unless he starts winning:crystal:
