It gets better

Hey everyone. So John Brice from VolQuest.com has posted an exclusive interview with Lane Kiffin, which includes this great exchange.

VQ: Will you miss not being able to needle Urban Meyer, or will you still needle him from the West Coast?

LK: No, it's good. Now I can do it and not get fined for it.

And some of you all don't like this guy? Come on.

WarEagleRK said...: E-Bro & Eddie,

I just sent a text to Joe and Quake asking them to play the Lane Train song as their intro music today...however I don't see them doing it.; 2:58 PM
digger4au said...: Way to go Seanzie; 3:00 PM
E-Bro said...: RK...I'm listening.; 3:00 PM
Unknown said...: Thanks Scott C.

I loved the Evanston video. They seemed like good sports.

As for the line at Walmart, I haven't seen that big of line of Alabama fans since I drove by the food stamp office.; 3:03 PM
Seanzie said...: Alright kiddies, I'm outta here for a while, play nice.; 3:06 PM
missinit said...: I know this is off topic but I haven't had time to read through the million posts since we are all a buzz on the coaching carousel today but......

Can anyone tell me if Barkley embarassed Auburn on SNL?????; 3:06 PM
Unknown said...: missinit, I don't recall any posts about what actually happened on SNL. I haven't watched SNL in years, but once I heard Sir Charles was going to be on, I made sure I didn't.; 3:13 PM
Unknown said...: I have seen death estimates in Haiti as much as over 100,000 people. The entire country is only about 9 million people. I do hope those reports are wrong and may have to think about sending some donations that way.; 3:16 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Steve,

What a sad sad situation.; 3:17 PM
Unknown said...: Yea, it really makes all the football riots seem silly.; 3:19 PM
E-Bro said...: Mix a 7.0 earthquake on the Richter Scale with the Western Hemisphere's poorest country and you probably have the century's greatest tragedy ten years in.

Very sad indeed.; 3:22 PM
Unknown said...: Yea, and they apparently afterward they had around 4 aftershocks that were 5.0 or higher. One was 5.9. They are only called aftershocks because they were preceded by a large quake. If they occurred by themselves, they would be called earthquakes.

It really kind of puts life into perspective and makes some of our complaints these days seem trivial.; 3:26 PM
E-Bro said...: Check that, I guess that the 2004 tsunami would be the biggest natural disaster-related tragedy of the 21st century.

But that happened over a wide swath of area. Here, we're talking about one country (and more or less one city) that is one of two on an island, and we could be seeing hundreds of thousands of dead.

Damn it.; 3:26 PM
Unknown said...: cnnbrk: Haitian consul general: Water is of "the utmost need" http://bit.ly/68AoIh; 3:28 PM
WarEagleRK said...: You never want something like that to happen, but it only amplifies it when it's in an area like Haiti where they don't have much in the way of relief and supplies in normal situations, much less in a tragedy like this.; 3:29 PM
Unknown said...: I am not particularly an Obama supporter, but he does react quickly and I do appreciate that. We have some ships headed that way.; 3:29 PM
Unknown said...: I have never been there, but from what I understand most of the buildings are made of cinder block, which wouldn't stand up well to an earthquake.

I use to work with a guy from Haiti in the early 90s. I haven't thought of him in a long time until this.; 3:31 PM
E-Bro said...: Yeah, on a good day, Haiti is in pretty rough shape.

Today...whoa man.; 3:34 PM
FSJ said...: Word passed on by the owner of Tiderinsider is that Lance Thompson will most likely get to stay in Knoxville...especially if they get their top choice which according to Rodney Orr is Muschamp.; 3:34 PM
LuvAU1968 said...: This is from footballscoop.com:

Texas Tech: We heard Mississippi State running backs coach Greg Knox has an offer to join Tuberville’s staff in Lubbock. James Willis (Alabama inside linebackers) is expected to be announced as the defensive coordinator.

So, how many more of the BBQ buddies will Tubs be offering a position to?; 3:37 PM
Unknown said...: Muschamp, to me, would be a better fit than Leach. There is a lot of bad press that Leach carries with him.

Getting Muschamp makes sense because he isn't currently a head coach so he wouldn't seriously impact another teams recruiting. Obviously Mack Brown thinks highly of him. I don't think he has the personality of a head coach, but in comparison to Kiffikin, he is Joe Paterno.; 3:38 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Willis wasn't really a BBQ buddy...but we all know about Greg Knox.; 3:38 PM
Unknown said...: Luv, it doesn't suprise me for Tuberville to bring some of that staff. They were very successful and Knox was head or recruiting. My question would be what Knox's roll would be. As a receivers coach, he was a great recruiter. I can't imagine him coaching the Texas Tech receivers.; 3:39 PM
LuvAU1968 said...: Think he'll try to get Eddie Gran from FSU?; 3:41 PM
Unknown said...: Bill Clinton has been appointed as special envoy to Haiti. While I disagree with some of Obama's politics, Kudos to him for taking decisive action.; 3:44 PM
Unknown said...: Luv, I am sure Tuberville would get Eddie Gran from FSU if he could. I doubt he could. That FSU gig looks to be a real sweet job.; 3:45 PM
Unknown said...: I would believe Price going from Ole Miss. Nall won't be going because there is already a former Troy coach doing the OL at Texas Tech.; 3:46 PM
LuvAU1968 said...: I'm just glad that Tubs isn't at Auburn. So, really and truly, I don't care who he hires. What I care about is Chizik and his staff and the already impressive things they are doing!! WDE!!!

Have a great evening, Hotties!!; 3:50 PM
Unknown said...: Luv, that is the way to be. Look to the future.; 3:53 PM
digger4au said...: I aagree LUV Look to the future

As Satchal Paige said don't look back sumpin might be gaining on you.; 4:01 PM
FSJ said...: I hear Johnny Majors has some unfinished business on The Hill.....; 4:01 PM
digger4au said...: FSJ Like what?
He's too old to coach.; 4:03 PM
chip chip said...: my only problem is AU doesn't get to kick kiffy's butt every few years.

i guess i'll be satisfied pounding on the new coach as has be AU's want the last few times we've played ut.; 4:03 PM
FSJ said...: digger..

it was a joke.

I could only hope that 4 for his career Majors could come back to UT.; 4:04 PM
FSJ said...: chip chip..

Auburn has owned UT since the 1999 game...right?; 4:05 PM
digger4au said...: I love the fact that we have handled Tenn and Fla the last few years. NOW lets get them Bulldogs and Razorbacks.; 4:05 PM
digger4au said...: FSJ went right over my head.; 4:06 PM
FSJ said...: I can't believe people are pimping Cutcliff in Knoxville..; 4:06 PM
WarEagleRK said...: FSJ,

We haven't lost to UT since 1999 in Knoxville.

I don't think anyone is seriously pimping Cutcliffe at all.; 4:13 PM
Unknown said...: Now Johnny Majors back at UT would surprise me even more than Kiffkin to USCw. Don't see it happening, but it would be intriguing.; 4:16 PM
Unknown said...: I can see Johnny Majors' first public announcement.

"I would just like to say thank you to all my supports for standing behind me. And as for Fulmer, I would just like to say nah nah...nah nah nah."; 4:18 PM
Jet said...: I'm for total chaos!

Giggitah for UT Head Coach!

Let Ole Miss scramble around and hire someone else.; 4:19 PM
Unknown said...: I always thought UT screwed over Johnny Majors when they got rid of him. Somehow there is justice in Kiffikin. As the golden rule says, screw unto others and they will screw unto you.; 4:19 PM
FSJ said...: Roy "Tennstud" Adams is going to be on Finebaum in the next hour..

I've actually met this moron...; 4:24 PM
Unknown said...: Man, I haven't even considered what finebaum will be like today. He may be hurting. It will be hard to exaggerate what has gone on at UT.; 4:26 PM
Fearless Freep said...: OK, my best AU bud just threw this one out at me via voicemail:

Tuberville hasn't actually signed a deal at Texas Tech, right? So technically he wouldn't even have to resign if he took the Tennessee gig. . .

I know, I know. Blame it on the puppets.

BTW, what does Tubs, Kiffin, his daddy, Muschamp, Cutcliffe, Nutt, and Butch Davis all have in common?; 4:36 PM
FSJ said...: Freep...I think that Jay said it best yesterday....

Tubs doesn't want the stress of UT.

With that said...Monte Kiffin called into a radio show in Knoxville today..

Here's the interview...

Monte Python Kiffin; 4:41 PM
weagle251 said...: Just saw this @ footballscoop:

"Tennessee: Our sources tell us AD Mike Hamilton is researching Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen. We have also heard an unbelievable name for the Tennessee job. Not sure how we can get this one further confirmed, but a source close to this particular head coach tells us, “Trust me. If Tennessee offers, it will happen.” This would be a huge splash hire for the Vols and equally surprising as Kiffin leaving for SC."

Who might the unbelievable name be?; 4:43 PM
FSJ said...: My guess would be Spurrier.; 4:45 PM
Aubie said...: Bear Bryant; 4:46 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Good news, Haiti, help is on the way: Lane Kiffin T-shirts from TN (????)

http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2010/jan/13/hounddogs-owner-kiffin-t-shirts-heading-haiti/; 4:47 PM
Unknown said...: Sending the Lane Kiffin shirts to Haiti is a wonderful idea. I never even thought of that one.; 4:56 PM
Unknown said...: Kudos to the full Monte for having the guts to get on the radio.; 4:57 PM
E-Bro said...: RK...your boys played a new version of the Lane Train song at the top of the 5:00 hour.

Also, I think they're on to a new one now. It's "Runaway Lane", done to the old Soul Asylum song.; 4:58 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Tennessee would be stupid to hire Mullen. What do you think is going to happen if he builds on this season and has a successful year or two in Knoxville, then Meyer's health gets bad enough that he has to quite for reallz?; 4:58 PM
Fearless Freep said...: And since y'all have brought it up - shouldn't the Crimson faithful be getting down on their knees to thank Finebaum for leading them to their 13th NC? I mean, if it weren't for his cruel ridicule of Rita Rodriguez. . .well, you get the idea.

Funny how things that seem like the worst thing in the world when they happen lead to the best outcome imaginable. That's how it worked out for Bama, perhaps Kiffin leaving will do the same for UTee.; 5:01 PM
FSJ said...: I think we certainly lucked out on Rich Rod backing out..

No doubt about that.; 5:12 PM
Spongeworthy said...: FSJ, I'm still on the UA kick about being investigated. Rumor was that Lance T ratted them out, so I doubt you see him back with the tide. If he does return, that would indicate that the rumor wasn't true. Also, the argument was that no way NCAA goes after tide since they won't touch USC. USC about to get hammered. Lost my bet, but I still think it's a timing thing...LOL; 5:15 PM
FSJ said...: Keep hope alive Sponge...

:-); 5:16 PM
Spongeworthy said...: Keep hate alive :<); 5:21 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: PAUL BUNYAN; 5:21 PM
WarEagleRK said...: E-Bro,

I finally turned it off about 5:30. There is only so much I can take.

I don't know how I worked there for 3 years listening to those callers.; 5:21 PM
Spongeworthy said...: I'm a pit bull, FSJ. Not giving up.; 5:25 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: WTF? Antonio Coleman didnt get invited to the NFL combine...what in the world? the SEC leader in sacks here...; 5:27 PM
E-Bro said...: RK...you lasted just a little longer than I did.

Doc and Quake were actually pretty reasonable about things (other than condoning the student actions last night).

As for the callers, not as bad as I remember them being back in the day (I don't really listen to the show a whole bunch these days), but maybe I've been desensitized from the few times I've listened to F-Baum and heard some of his callers. Anything's gonna be gold compared to them.; 5:30 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: OMG Haiti has no trees now....; 5:38 PM
CHB said...: If any of you have young kids you will understand this next comment. Yo Gabba Gabba creeps me out!!!!

Also I hate walmartians...FSJ excluded because he seems cool enough. One bad choice can be forgiven.; 6:04 PM
wtc said...: Tubs has asked Eddie Gran to interview and was turned down.

Greg Knox would come over as the RB coach.

Jay is right, Tubbs would not want the UT pressure.

No way Muschamp takes that job.; 6:31 PM
Loganville Tiger said...: VolChat is Exploding with Muschamp is a done deal....

No Way!!

Texas HC > Vol HC; 6:31 PM
Loganville Tiger said...: 14333 users on line at VolChat....

Unbelievable.....; 6:34 PM
wtc said...: I thought it was interesting the coach with the least seniority on the Vol staff got the interim job.; 6:35 PM
Loganville Tiger said...: Very true WTC; 6:44 PM
mytommyd said...: I'm listening to that Monte Kiffin interview; he's hard to follow. Jumpy soundin' fella. But I know where the integrity part of the operation comes from. Cleanin up his kid's mess. And probably won't be the last time.; 6:49 PM
BinOBA said...: so i scored some double gloucster and stilton cheese today, some 12 yr old gouda, i spent over 100 dollars on cheese today and i'm well on my way to having a problem. Just glad to have some crackers.; 6:51 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I0my friend has a kid that loves Yo Gabba Gabba. I'm a huge Phenomenauts fan, and love the name of the show having Ramones roots, but have never seen it. The float during the Macy's Thanksgiving parade left me very confused about what the shiw is really all about.; 6:52 PM
Miller said...: I wish I had that much cheddar to spend on cheese...; 6:53 PM
Unknown said...: If I were Muschamp, I would sit where I am. Heck, he is already very well paid and has next to no pressure.

Someone earlier was hearing that it would be Leach. In terms of the name recognition it would make sense. In terms of his scheme and Tennessee, they are on opposite sides of the world. In terms of discipline and previous coaches, they are on the opposite sides of the world. If the Vols take Leach it is because he is the biggest name they can get on short notice.

Tuberville would fit the UT style of offense and fix their discipline problems, but why would he need the headaches?

Someone yesterday mentioned the head coaches at Air Force, TCU, and Boise State. Those types of coaches would be my best bet for UT.; 6:54 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Steve- there is a huge difference in making 3-3.5 million for 5 years vs 900k he makes now for the next 5 years waiting on Brown to retire. We are talking over 10 million dollars. It's a no brained to me. I would be trading UT caps.; 6:58 PM
Jet said...: Kippy has 2 previous tours of duty at UT. He is the logical interim.; 7:05 PM
FSJ said...: Eddie..

I agree 100%...He does a good job at Tennessee and he's the next Texas coach anyway when Brown retires in five years.; 7:07 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Recomended reading if not already posted:

http://m.espn.go.com/ncf/story?w=194s6&storyId=4821890&i=TOP&topslot=1; 7:08 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: FSJ- he is either the next Texas coach or Georgia coach if he is successful at UTK.; 7:09 PM
Jet said...: If Muschamp is staying put, then he is waiting for two things:

1) Mack to retire.

2) Hat and/or Richt to be gone after 2010.
I say Option 2.; 7:10 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: I agree Jet. Makes no sense to wait 5 Years for something that may never be.; 7:11 PM
E-Bro said...: It'd be weird seeing Muschamp in UT Orange.

The guy played at Georgia. GA'd at Auburn. DC at LSU. Then DC back at Auburn.

How many SEC caps does the guy wanna wear?; 7:12 PM
E-Bro said...: I think Champ might want to take over an SEC school that has a good, natural recruiting base. I know UT can recruit the best players in the country, but it's more work.

I was gonna say either LSU or UGA, which fits Jet's rationality.; 7:14 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: I say Champ wants Texas but doesn't want to wait that long.; 7:15 PM
E-Bro said...: Of course Champ wants Texas. It's not an issue of wanting or not wanting Texas.

It's time. We know that. Or we don't. Maybe he really wants to wait.; 7:19 PM
Unknown said...: Georgia would likely interest him a lot more than Tennessee, but Richt will be okay for a while with a good DC hire.; 7:21 PM
Unknown said...: And yes, I do see those that believe in the bucks argument. It just isn't something I put high on the list.; 7:22 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Steve- 95% of the time it's about the $$$$$$. There is no more loyalty, but that is a two way street these days.; 7:24 PM
Spongeworthy said...: So, at this juncture. Are you glad we have Chizik over Muschamp? I personally had a little uneasiness about Muschamp at AU; 7:25 PM
Jet said...: Ebro. Exactly. Recruiting base makes it easier in Athens and in Couxrn Dogue.; 7:27 PM
Unknown said...: Eddie, you could very well be correct. I don't know Muschamp personally, so I really couldn't say. Money just isn't something that drives my decision making these days, so I put a lesser priority on it. There are definitely people out there that are purely driven by money, regardless of their need.; 7:28 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: I'm happy with Chizik, but I think Muschamp may be one of the all time greats. Chizik is probably better suited for here.; 7:28 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I think I've never met Will Muschamp, much less talk to him enough to know what he wants. I know what I want, though.; 7:29 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: I want money. I knew Muschamp briefly. He wanted money when he left Auburn, but then again he was an unpaid grad assistant.; 7:30 PM
Unknown said...: Sponge, I can really say I know enough about Muschamp, but from what I saw of his personality, I didn't think him well suited to be a head coach. My impression could have been wrong or he could have matured a bit. He surely will be a head coach eventually, and it probably won't be another 5 years.

As for Chizik, he is almost the ideal in terms of being a CEO, although if anything, I consider him a bit overly conservative, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I am glad we got Chizik rather than Muschamp.; 7:31 PM
Spongeworthy said...: Not that I thought Chizik was better when he was hired mind you. I just wasn't sold on Muschamp as a head coach at AU. Looking at it now, I like Chiziks demeanor and personality as a head coach. It will be interesting to watch Muschamp when he becomes one. By the way, if I'm Mushchamp, I take the UT job if offered. You can always bolt for Texas when that comes open. Bird in Hand...don't ya know.; 7:31 PM
E-Bro said...: Eddie worked with Champ back in the day and knows him a little, but not sure if he knows what he wants.

He's not claiming to either, though.; 7:31 PM
E-Bro said...: Check that, he is claiming to know what Champ wants.

:); 7:33 PM
Unknown said...: Sponge, I wasn't exactly a Chizik fan when he was hired, although I wasn't against it either. I just thought we didn't know enough of the plan he presented to Jacobs. He was a wait and see in my book, but he won me over by the middle of the summer with the decision making he made.; 7:33 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: I say Chizik is much more than a CEO.; 7:33 PM
Jet said...: I was President of the Boom Club. I think he's a star. Someone will be very fortunate to have him as a head coach. However, I will not pine for what I do not have.

Chizik has exceeded my expectations. I have no significant complaints. The bar, however, gets raised in Year 2. Call it the price of success. The good news is I believe he can meet those expectations.; 7:35 PM
Spongeworthy said...: For the Lebo haters, or at least those who think his time has come and gone, I have heard rumblings that he is done. Not going to open the new arena. Just what I'm hearing. That, barring a complete turnaround this year and that's not happening.; 7:35 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: My wife says that Champ is on her top 5 list.; 7:35 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Sponge- that would be great news.; 7:36 PM
Unknown said...: Eddie, that is fair to say. Although I prefer a coach to be a CEO first, there is no doubt Chizik gets involved. I know I read where he was working with the special teams. I have no doubt he and Roof discussed the defensive situation a lot.

Chizik actually described what he does at one point. He said he kind of was able to step back and get a different perspective or something like that. While other coaches took care of their parts, he looked for where he saw areas for improvement. I probably am not describing this fairly. You would have to have seen the video.; 7:37 PM
E-Bro said...: Eddie...top five list? What are we talking about here?; 7:38 PM
Spongeworthy said...: Eddie. I don't really know the answer to this cause I haven't thought to ask those that would know, but is Chiz involved in the day to day on the field coaching. I thought he was. Not to the extent of Saban, but much more than Tubby? Do you know?; 7:38 PM
E-Bro said...: Anyway. I'm out to watch a little Friday Night Lights.

Toodles.; 7:39 PM
Unknown said...: Jet, what is your criteria for success in year 2?; 7:39 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Sponge- I'be been told that he gets involved and coaches. I've also seen such on the Auburn Everyday show. Tubs very rarely coached he was a CEO in every aspect. My opinion is that Chizik still coaches hard and defers the credit to the assistants as a good coach would do. Make no mistake, Chizik is the brains at Auburn.....not Luper, Taylor or Mazahn.; 7:42 PM
Spongeworthy said...: Jet, I'm not convinced Muschamp a star as a head coach. I certainly don't think he's a bust either. Just not convinced yet. Depends on the job he gets. I'd like to see him prove it at a place like Arkansas or Clemson, or a south Florida.; 7:42 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: According to Knoxville radio, Muschamp turned down UTK in person.; 7:43 PM
Unknown said...: Eddie, that is pretty classy of him. I would consider it an insult to Tennessee if he didn't even listen to Tennessee. Like Tennessee or not, they are one of the better coaching positions.; 7:45 PM
Spongeworthy said...: Eddie, that was my impression exactly. Don't think he takes over a position, but I'm sure he lets his coaches know what he wants. Not afraid to get involved if need by, as shown by his involvement in special teams mid year. Also, understand he took Trooper off the punt returners for a bit when things weren't going well.; 7:45 PM
Spongeworthy said...: If muschamp turned em down, methinks Brown has given him a timetable for his retirement privately; 7:47 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Now volquest saying it's Muschamp. Considered confused.; 7:47 PM
Unknown said...: I guess it is a coach that knows when to step in that is important. I don't believe Tuberville knew how to deal with his offensive coaches.; 7:47 PM
Unknown said...: I would have assumed Brown had given him some kind of timeline. Muschamp doesn't have a deal like Jimbo did, where if the head coach didn't retire in X years, he gets payed Y, does he?; 7:48 PM
Spongeworthy said...: Guys. Anyone watch UF and UK last night. Quickly, name one Auburn player over the last five years that even approached the talent of any UK starting freshmen. Not as a freshmen, but at any point in their career.
Can't win the Kentucky Derby with a donkey, don't care how hard they try. We have lots of Donkeys.; 7:49 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Anyone else watching Lane?; 7:50 PM
Unknown said...: "Can't win the Kentucky Derby with a donkey"

That is classic; 7:50 PM
Unknown said...: Is 9 regular season wins next season a success?; 7:52 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Did Lane just infer that UT was not a major coaching job?; 7:53 PM
FSJ said...: Did Kiffin say they were going to run a "clean..disciplined" program?; 7:54 PM
Spongeworthy said...: I think 9 wins is a success, given that we have a new QB and new RB. 10 would obviously be better. Don't think we could expect more. Are we talking regular season.; 7:54 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: If Auburn fans are expecting 9 or more wins next season then they are too high IMO.; 7:55 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: FSJ I LOL on that one. Did he not at UT?; 7:56 PM
Unknown said...: Yea, I would say 9 wins regular season is success, 8 would be a bit disappointing. Anything less would be a surprise. More than 9 is certainly possible, but there are so many variable at this point, who can tell. How the QB plays will determine a lot though. If Etheridge or Savage make it back will matter a lot too.; 7:57 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I only expect one win.; 7:58 PM
Unknown said...: Eddie, I wouldn't say 9 if it were an odd numbered year. I think we have about 8 home games.; 7:58 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: I tell you one thing, Lane is one arrogant SOB.

Also, he loves the words dynamic and explosive whe refering to recruits.; 7:59 PM
Spongeworthy said...: By the way. Did you guys see that former Virginia OC, Groh, who was let go at Virginia, then worked at UAT as a "GRAD ASSISTANT", just got a new gig. the new gig isn't a big deal. What do you guys think about a former offensive coordinator being able to coach at UAT as a grad assistant. He was still getting paid by Virginia. Isn't that a crock. Good move by bama, but that's like cheating, I don't care how you look at it.; 8:00 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Sponge- tubs dd the same while I was there. It happens.; 8:01 PM
FSJ said...: Willis formally accepts Tuberville's offer of DC at Texas Tech per the Tuscaloosa News.; 8:01 PM
FSJ said...: I believe just about every major school does it.; 8:02 PM
Unknown said...: I heard that earlier in the year and was surprised it wasn't against NCAA rules, but I am assuming UA new what they were doing. They may have not broken a rule, but they sure bent the crap out of some.; 8:02 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Willis- who is he? Related to Benedict Arnold?; 8:02 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Steve- that is not against the rules. Happens all the time.; 8:03 PM
Spongeworthy said...: Who did Tubbs use? I guy that was a former Major College Coordinator? I understand the deal. Grad assistants need to be new coaches with no experience. IMO.; 8:04 PM
FSJ said...: I see Kiffin was pumping his moral victory over UA.

I guess his moral 4th quarter victory over Auburn is next.

Good job Lane. Congrats.; 8:06 PM
Kathy said...: Whoever the reporter is that is asking questions regarding Coach O and recruit is giving Lane heck.; 8:07 PM
Kathy said...: They are going to kick him out!; 8:07 PM
FSJ said...: Lane is talking in circles now.

LOL.; 8:07 PM
Spongeworthy said...: Kiffin = dirtbag But, he was at UT, so who cares...not me. Wonder if we can resurect the Orgeron song. Oyeoyeoyeeeee..Football; 8:08 PM
Unknown said...: Tennesse ended up, what, 7-6? It wasn't a disaster for a first year, but it isn't something to brag about.; 8:08 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Tubs used Dan Werner while I was there he was OC / QB coach at James Madison. He left Auburn and has winced served as OC at both Ole Miss and Miami. Not sure where he is now.; 8:08 PM
Spongeworthy said...: where are you guys watching the interview; 8:09 PM
Kathy said...: What about your bowl game Lane? You got blown out.; 8:09 PM
FSJ said...: ESPN News; 8:09 PM
Kathy said...: Live streaming on ESPN.com; 8:09 PM
Spongeworthy said...: I remember Werner, but thought he was a paid consultant for the coaches, not an on the field guy.; 8:10 PM
Unknown said...: Bowl games don't count. They were just dang glad to be there.; 8:10 PM
Unknown said...: Eddie, GAs can coach on the field, correct?; 8:11 PM
FSJ said...: These media guys are all over his arse....; 8:11 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Sponge- he was unpaid and he was coaching. Just like Andy Lutz. It happens. Not always in the GA role, but other ways.; 8:13 PM
Unknown said...: Kiffikin should have called me before the interview and I would have set him up. No matter what the question, he should just say "I took the cash".; 8:13 PM
Spongeworthy said...: Is now a good time for him to rip his shirt off and challenge the media? Where's coach O.; 8:13 PM
Unknown said...: I thought there were pretty strict rules about who could actually coach on the field at practice.; 8:14 PM
Spongeworthy said...: I think there are FC. Now we know why we desparately need an INDOOR practice facility.; 8:15 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Steve- NCAA rules states that only 2 GA's and the 9 assistants ( I think I've got that right) and HC can be on the field coaching.; 8:16 PM
Jet said...: My criteria for success is player improvement, no "bad" losses (think Kentucky), improvement in schemes, "coached up" players.; 8:16 PM
Unknown said...: Bwahahaha, that was excellent Sponge.; 8:16 PM
Spongeworthy said...: FSJ, wasn't bama playing tonight?; 8:17 PM
Unknown said...: Thanks Eddie. I thought it was something like that.

Jet, that is a very reasonable criteria. Wins and losses depends upon the quality of the opponent and where the game is. Simply being well prepared is a better criteria, which is why the 5-6 record in 08 was misleading. We really didn't look that good.; 8:18 PM
Unknown said...: Ummmm, Idol just had to have security get a guy to leave. Now that's entertainment. I never have seen that before.; 8:20 PM
Spongeworthy said...: Jet, you don't go to bowl games cause your players look better prepared than they did last year. You could improve schemes, play, etc, but you still need to score more than the other guys. "Just Win Baby". I don't care if they look like Ned in the first Reader if they just win.; 8:25 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: Who needs reality tv when you've got UT? They've definitely been entertaining the past 2 weeks!; 8:27 PM
Anonymous said...: Man .... it's wild times right now and unfortunately I'm too busy to keep up. Thankfully the HABOTN has dropped the contol rods and is melting the core keeping up with all of this..

Just ate dinner and caught up on the HABOTN. I spewed food several times. Enjoyed it, but gotta go.

BTW, the EDSBS stuff was hilarious also.; 8:27 PM
digger4au said...: And I thought this year was going to be quiet time in coaching changes. Shows how little I know about CF. This has been one hellofa year ending bonanza.
Just happy Auburn is not part of it. It is fun to just sit back and watch the fireworks.; 8:35 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Situation in Haiti is unbelievably tragic. Can someone beat Pat Robertson with a tire iron, please?; 8:36 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Sweet dreams, Hotties!

Odds on UT naming a HC before I wake up?; 8:36 PM
Jet said...: Sponge ...

If we're meeting my standards, we're probably winning 8-9-10 games.

If we develop the early entries, and we improve ourselves defensively, we can make the last game on the schedule meaningful.

I try to avoid sticking a number out there, but believe me, I'm about winning. Remember, Tubs had numbers from time to time.

(He said "Tubs." Heh heh heh); 8:38 PM
Unknown said...: Not having stretches like we did against Arkansas, Kentucky, and LSU would be nice. Losing a game when you have yourself a chance to win is different. I can see Arkansas or LSU beating us, but we made it too easy for all 3.; 8:41 PM
Spongeworthy said...: Jet, you know i'm pullin your chain. I'll take 7 wins next year if one is at the crapstone. Normally, I wouldn't say that, but next year, I want to see Satan in a baaad mood.; 8:43 PM
Unknown said...: Tigers Woods has checked himself into a sex addict clinic in South Africa for a six week program costing $5,000 a week. Anyone want to guess at what the treatment will be?; 8:44 PM
digger4au said...: I just hope what I saw in some games were just due to number of quality players and not a brain fart by Gus. His play calling at times is not game winning and it must show improvement for us to move foward.; 8:44 PM
Spongeworthy said...: Clemson kicking the Tar out of the North Carolina heels.; 8:44 PM
Unknown said...: We definitely have plenty of room for improvement in special teams, but I do think the big difference we will see is defense. Look for Ted Roof to be much more creative with a full cast of characters.; 8:45 PM
digger4au said...: North Caroline was overated and it is showing up as the season goes on.; 8:46 PM
Spongeworthy said...: They actually HAVE sex addiction clinics in South Africa?; 8:46 PM
Unknown said...: Yea, Sponge, I really wonder what it involves. Six weeks of shock therapy for $30,000? Tiger could have lots of fun.; 9:00 PM
Miller said...: What exactly is the treatment for a sex addiction?

And... are there different levels of sex addictions? Is one level more severe than another?; 9:00 PM
Anonymous said...: LMAO...

You go Tiger...; 9:02 PM
Jet said...: As a matter of confession, I was placed in treatment for sex addiction.

It is called marriage.; 9:03 PM
Anonymous said...: LMAO Jet.; 9:03 PM
Spongeworthy said...: I'm betting Tiger cruises the web looking at illicit video's. His choices were a bit skanky.; 9:03 PM
Spongeworthy said...: My wifes doctor advised her that sexual desire is affected by the foods you eat, and that she likely ingested a substance that severly curtailed that desire.; 9:05 PM
Spongeworthy said...: When she inquired as to what foods to avoid, the doctor advised....Wedding Cake.; 9:06 PM
Norm said...: Wedding cake?; 9:06 PM
Norm said...: Dang. Too slow.; 9:07 PM
Jet said...: Gettin' close; 9:08 PM
Jet said...: No more Layla.; 9:09 PM
Scott Coats said...: very close; 9:09 PM
Jet said...: Enter Sandman. (That's you, Norm); 9:09 PM
Spongeworthy said...: I know that was lame, but funny the first time I heard it. My brother asked his wife how a woman could be so pretty, but be so dumb. She replied that god made her pretty so that he would be attracted to her................ He made her dumb so she would be attracted to him.; 9:09 PM
Spongeworthy said...: boom; 9:10 PM
