Tennessee: WTH?

Hey everyone. The fun keeps on coming.

ESPN now is reporting that Lane Kiffin, the affable Tennessee coach, has agreed to a deal with Southern Cal. So he'd be gonzo from Rocky Top.

How bummed are Tennessee fans?

I don't expect you to be sympathetic. Auburn fans and (our few resident) Alabama sympathists have this in common: Feeling at least moderate disdain toward UT.

Next coach at UT? Thoughts?

Do USC and Kiffen each realize what they're getting? As soon as the Bush trial happens and releases the proof to the NCAA, USCw will be on double secret probation. Kiffen on the other hand is a loose cannon and can't help but being a lightning rod.

I smell disaster.; 10:22 PM

Yea, some coaches piss me off with how they treat their teams, but some just go over the top. I thought Coach Fraud was pretty low doing what he did to Bama, but riot? Really? Over a game kids play?; 10:23 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Apparently there telling the early enrollees not to go to class...'

"Wow, Orgeron told kids not to go to class!"

We have heard from multiple sources, including defensive tackle Marlon Walls that Ed Orgeron was on the phone tonight with some of the early enrollees telling them not to go to class tomorrow and attempting to begin the process of recruiting them to USC.

Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Urban's reaction; 10:26 PM
chip chip said...: names for ut:

leach: somehow i think he could work at ut. they have always been able to get the national big time qb recruits and i think he could put a d together in the sec to go with it.

butch davis: would be a step up to a permier sec program.

richt: he may sense he has run his course at uga if his ccordinator hires don't pan out and fresh surroundings may be appealing.

tony franklin: dumbass don't get no repect!!

paul johnson: the triple option finally returns to the sec. he's losing a lot of talent to nfl this year and it would be a step up like for davis.; 10:27 PM

FSJ, that's not a bad man cave....for a beginner. send that dude my number. we need to have a chat. :); 10:35 PM

"Lot of anger being directed at wanting Lane Kiffin's blood. It's understandable."; 10:35 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Way to show your class UT.

I guess every available coach turned USC down, so they went with the bottom of their depth chart.; 10:36 PM
Bellefay1 said...: People are posting Layla Kiffin's number.

I hope he and his family get out of there alive...but seriously...what a smug ahole.

I don't even like UT but I really don't see what's some hireable about a godlen ticket coach that hasn't done crap in his career. Congrats on making Al Davis look like he knows what he's doing. Hopefully he can finish off USC.; 10:37 PM

If NBC goes back and play to the old fogey crowd that wants to see the demin covered car freak...i'll have no problem not watching their network ever again. They appear to major in screwing guys over.

Just a quick word..Johnny isn't coming back. In fact, he's been dead since what, 04? NBC sandbagged Conan with kepping Jay around and it just gets worse for the network if they renege on Conan.; 10:45 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: I meant, except the part of TN where E-Bro's crib be :-); 10:45 PM

Commish of Old Pimps said...: Swiperboy: "O yea! highlight of the night...some1 said "LOOK ITS LANE KIFFIN" n they took off runnin..he was lyin lol"

I wish I could buy that "some1" a beer. That's awesome!!; 10:49 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Scottie,
I just want to express my disappointment in you for not going down there and giving the Hotties a live feed of the action as it occurs.

Also, best wishes. Hope the crowd doesn't get Lane's address wrong and burn down your house.; 10:49 PM
E-Bro said...: I don't get how Kiffin is gonna be able to take so many of his recruits to USC unless all of USC's commits were gonna change their mind after Carroll left.

USC already had 3 five stars and 8 four starts. Granted, they only had 14 commits total, but how many of his UT recruits does USC actually need?; 10:50 PM
Unknown said...: That UT guy in the video was scary. He mentioned his wife, but somehow I am glad we didn't see her. He could have been the pretty one of the couple.; 10:50 PM

JgobravesHAG said...: this meltdown is taking us to 500 comments...what is this gameday?; 10:51 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: sorry PF, i was actually watching re-runs of The Office on TBS. very funny.

i had forgotten about the UK-UF game and when i turned it on i finally heard the news. my wife was pissed. but she hated LK anyways so she'll be ok.

i'm almost out of the knoxville city limits so i think i'm ok. his house is in a slighty more expensive subdivision than mine homes, but i appreciate the concern.; 10:52 PM
Unknown said...: Scottie B needs to start printing the I hate Kiffikin t-shirts. He could get rich off it.; 10:52 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Yeah, he urinated and burned her Lane shirt too. Pay back is hell, dude, especially with hillbilly women; 10:52 PM
E-Bro said...: FYI...from talking to my UT friends, the main reason they're so pissed (besides Kiffin's whole 'my word is oak' moment) is just b/c what this will do to their recruiting class coming three weeks before signing day.

I don't think they'll miss Kiffin so much as they will some of these 4 stars they will lose to other schools now.; 10:54 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: not a bad idea SFL. i may run that by the boss in the morning.; 10:54 PM
Unknown said...: I am earning more respect of Connan by the minute:); 10:54 PM
Bellefay1 said...: FSJ...

Old people fear changer. It took folks years to adjust to Jay and the idea of him leaving was too much.

Of course the best course of action for NBC was to promise Conan the job, hire Jay to one up him by 30 minutes then give him 7 months to break Jay's old ratings.

NBC is horrible and I can't wait for them to drop 200 mill on the Olympics. Congrats networks of shows that were good in the 90's.; 10:54 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: This Tenn stuff sure is entertaining but have to hit it.

Night all!; 10:54 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: seriously, scottie. You should be printing right now. You have a huge group of clients rioting right now that would shell out some change for those. You could make a G before 1am.; 10:55 PM

In the last day, I've heard Fulmer, Skip Holtz, and Tony Dungy have all met with their AD.; 11:43 PM

Unknown said...: I still don't get why Kiffikin is such a hot commodity as a head coach. Yea, he is probably a very good OC, but he just doesn't seem like head coach material to me. On the up side, it will be very interesting to see what goes on with USC. It would make probation for them a little sweeeter.; 11:56 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: was just told that, jhag, and came back to post it.

Urban worked FAST on that one.; 11:57 PM
E-Bro said...: With Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush, Lendale White, and company, I'm pretty sure I'd be a pretty decent OC myself.; 11:59 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: E-Bro,

at this point, it's probably not something that shouldn't be considered. Stability is really important right now. UT's gotta get a coach in fast, and doesn't have time to waste with interviews and what not to make sure the guy they get is the right fit. Bad choice, but might be the right thing to do to keep them from completely imploding.; 12:00 AM
cincytiger said...: I think I am finally sleepy enough I can go to sleep without hearing every little sound. Sure seems like there are more sounds when hubby is out of town.

Try to keep a lid on things until in the morning.

Night, hotties!; 12:02 AM
Unknown said...: I agree. With less that 21 days to signing day, getting a new head coach quickly has to be a priority. I would be surprise if it takes a week. UT has to act quickly.; 12:11 AM

E-Bro said...: Probably why UT offered Muschamp tonight (if they did indeed do that). It will be interesting to see what has developed when I wake up tomorrow.

The other part of this question, though, is whether Fulmer would come back? I know he still loves UT, but maybe he's still feeling slighted after last year.; 12:14 AM
E-Bro said...: Bottom line: sucks to be a UT fan tonight.

Of course, for some real world perspective: sucks infinitely more to be a Haitian tonight.; 12:15 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I dunno. Those kids look like they're having lots of fun being TN fans.; 12:17 AM
E-Bro said...: Okay...sucks to be a UT fan not currently enrolled in school.; 12:24 AM
Unknown said...: Yes, you have to feel for the Haitian people.

As for Fulmer, it would absolutely shock me if he were willing to go back. I know it was his dream job, but the only thing worse than getting fired from your dream job would be getting fired from your dream job twice.; 12:27 AM

Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Donahue took a year off, and he's still mentioned in Auburn blogs (okay, once, and that was today, and it was super random, but still), why can't Phil.; 12:33 AM
Unknown said...: Phil could. Shug Jordan initially coached Auburn basketball a couple of times and switched to football. Fulmer could be back to coach basketball too. I just wouldn't call it likely.; 12:35 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Digger would've been streaking at a riot like that.; 12:39 AM
Unknown said...: Hahaha, possibly so. I still can't imagine the UT students doing that. I mean, compare that with what others, such as the Haitians, are going through. It is simply bizarre.

I had already planned to tell my boss in Oregon to not assume all of us are ignorant rednecks in the south because of the trophy Walmart thing. I guess I now have to mention UT too, but I am now uncertain if he will buy it.; 12:43 AM
Aeronaut said...: Fun fun.; 2:10 AM
Aeronaut said...: Funny story:

While UT players were waiting / talking to lame kitten, ed orgeron was busy calling early enrollees and telling them to move to USC.

Some early enrollees were in the same room as the team. They put their phone on speakerphone and let the rest of the team hear ed orgeron.

LuvAU1968 said...: Good morning, Hotties! It's Hump Day!!

Wow! This thread was started at 7:30 p.m. last evening and there are 565 posts! I guess you guys had a little something to say about the coaching carousel! I, of course, can't go through them, but maybe Jet can give me a brief synopsis.

I have a question...why do they even have contracts?; 5:24 AM
LuvAU1968 said...: dan dan the AU fan said...

Jet said...: Luv ...

Kiffin goes to USC

Mass panic in Knoxville

They're looting the Food King

Remain calm.

All is well.

Coaches contracts are merely "pre-nuptial agreements" to set up payments while together and pre-arranging "the divorce."

Next coach? Not Tuberville.; 6:36 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Morning, Hotties. Time for me to head back to work.; 6:39 AM

LuvAU1968 said...: Tar Heel, I hope you're feeling better!; 6:52 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: RK- Local radio should be enjoyable today. I've found this whole situation quite enjoyable from my vantage point.; 6:55 AM
LuvAU1968 said...: I sure wish I see the videos! I'm sure they are very amusing!

I do feel kinda bad for the university and the fans...; 6:57 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Part of me is sad, because the odds are they will hire a better coach.

Then part of me wonders if UT fans will go this far, how far would Alabama fans go if Saban left?; 6:59 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Auburn has a huge door opened with Lane leaving with some of the recruits that had committed to UT that Auburn wanted. Brandon Willis, Corey Miller & JC Copeland come to mind. This could be huge and apparently Auburn was already on the horn with Willis last night. Good stuff for us.; 6:59 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Nice Read on Kiffin by Pat Forde; 7:11 AM
Robusto said...: This saddens me only for the fact he could have done more damage.

Who wants the to have a "good" coach.

LuvAU1968 said...: Ya think the bammers will say Kiffin bolted because he was afraid of Saban? LOL; 7:16 AM
LuvAU1968 said...: WERK, if Saban left, they would be jumping off bridges and out of windows!; 7:18 AM

cincytiger said...: Best line from Forde's article:

"Kiffin comes across as a guy who was born on third base and acts as if he hit a triple"; 7:24 AM
cincytiger said...: THT,
Good luck with work today. Don't overdo.

Luv - Thought of you this morning. I slept until an extravagant 7 am. That must be like the middle of the day for you!

Norm,
Sorry, I broke the rules. I do love breaking rules, though. You still having to wear a patch? Can't tell since you changed your avatar.; 7:27 AM
