More Kiffin - Foot in Mouth, Again/Official Tenn Recruiting Violations Thread

i didnt either, i always thought tee martin was manning's back up.

 

Heres the thing about Kiffin that even Vol fans dont admit. He would never have been hired if it wasnt for the staff he could bring. He didnt have the resume to get hired at Tenn on his own. Monte was an obvious and Orgeron was always going to Tenn despite the supposed flirtation with us and Syracuse.

The biggest complaint against Fulmer was his weak staff. Fulmer would never have hired this kind of staff because they would have over shadowed him and Fulmer was all about me, myself & I. Just look at the douche Fulmer hired as OC to replace Cuttcliff. Some nobody DII coach who had no business at Tenn. Fulmer had a long history of being too loyal and hiring subordinates he could control and manipulate. Nobody on Fulmers staff, except maybe Chavis, was their own man and even Chavis was ham strung to some degree.

The problem now for Tenn is they hired a guy who could bring in the staff but they get the baggage of an inexperienced cocky asswipe who is degrading their image even more than Fulmer did with the police/arrests, etc. They are hoping good results in recruiting and on the field will out weigh the negatives but it is hard for them to swallow all this garbage that keeps cropping up.

Mr. Haslam has already read the riot act to the administration and word is he isnt getting any happier. Everyone at Tenn knows that Haslam gets whatever he wants, when he wants it. If Kiffin loses Haslams support he will be gone before Haslam hangs up the phone.

 

had to have been the package deal, because Kiffen had what, 1 season as OC at USC when Chow left, and then a little over a year at Oakland? Its not like Kiffen changed the system at USC, this is going to go down as one of the worst hire's in college football history. And what is he teaching his kids? talk trash, be dishonest, and play dirty? I wouldnt be surprised if more kids get thrown in the clink while this douchebag is the coach because of his attitude.

 

I read today that the first staff member he hired, his hand picked S&C coach, has resigned. And we thought Alabama's coach was difficult to work for. I couldn't even imagine having that tool for a boss.

BTW, how many secondary recruiting violations do you have to get before sanctions are imposed? Just curious.

Just got off the phone with my good buddy and big Alabama fan who lives in Birmingham and part of the conversation went like this:

Me: "You still a big Kiffen fan :lol:?"

Him: "Hell yea!! I hope that joker is at UT for a long, long time!! :lol:."

Hard to argue with his logic.:hihi:.
