Lane Kiffin... You gotta love his style.

i love how his lack of experience makes it safe to assume he will fail, but not safe to assume he will succeed

so far in 3 months on the job he has been the most successful coach in college football. yes i said it. unless bryce brown changes his mind, kiffin has landed 3 top 50 national players AFTER signing day. between his hire date and next monday he has more 4/5 star commits than anyone else. period. i know some schools signed a lot more, but those were commits from last summer etc.

im sayin in 3 months on the job hes done more off the field than any other coach. i dare anyone to prove otherwise.

i so at this point its more foolish to assume he will fail that it is to assume he will succeed

Kiffin won't rebound from rocky start

Posted: Tuesday, March 10, 2009 6:31 PM


After spending the last three months looking mighty shaky tooling around Knoxville on a set of SEC training wheels, Lane Kiffin, the pugnacious new kid on the block, has finally found the comfort of the football field.
<o></o>
Tuesday’s opening of spring practice at Tennessee didn’t come a moment too soon for the 33-year-old rookie college head coach. Being able to talk about his Volunteers and how they are shaping up for the 2009 season will be a welcomed departure from what has been an undeniably ugly offseason.
<o></o>
In the coming weeks, it will be refreshing to hear about who’s emerging at right guard to fill the massive cleats of Anthony Parker or how All-America free safety Eric Berry feels about the new defensive scheme, which figures to feature a lot of NFL-style “Tampa Two.”
<o></o>
Up until now, most everything emanating from Rocky Top has been at best rocky bottom.
<o></o>
Kiffin has seemingly spent every moment since being hired on Dec. 1, digging a monstrous hole for himself. Guaranteeing victory over Florida was one of the first things he did. Gutsy, yes. Smart, no.
<o></o>
He followed that up by falsely accusing Urban Meyer of a recruiting violation. A stern reprimand by the SEC and a public apology from Kiffin were next. Alabama and Georgia also felt the affect of the first stages of Hurricane Lane.
<o></o>
Then, came his own trio of recruiting violations. Minor infractions, but legit nonetheless.
<o></o>
Lots of news. None of it positive.
<o></o>
Kiffin and his supporters are saying it's all part of the plan. We don’t buy it.
<o></o>
Continually screwing up is not how to start a new job, I don’t care how you spin it and if some people are actually foolish enough to believe that this is a well-planned campaign to burst upon the scene.
<o></o>
Guess what, Tennessee was already on the scene. Say what you want about Phillip Fulmer, who won the first BCS national title in 1998 and captured the SEC East four times since then (most recently all the way back in 2007), but the Volunteers are not a fixer-upper. Tennessee is in no way a program that should be stooping to garner all the “at least they spelled our name right” publicity it can get.
<o></o>
And because of this ignominious start, there is probably no end in sight. Kiffin has spent so much time with both feet in his mouth that he’s now under an incredibly intense microscope. From now on you can expect regular doses of reports about him -- good, bad or indifferent -- in the mainstream and blogosphere. He’s now the Britney Spears of college football.
<o></o>
The latest allegations contend that he told a recruit from South Carolina, who chose the Gamecocks over Tennessee and Southern California, that he would “end up pumping gas for the rest of his life, like everyone else who played for South Carolina.” Kiffin flatly denied that he ever said that.
<o></o>
No word yet on if he will call the player in question, wide receiver Alshon Jeffery, and his high school coach, Walter Wilson, liars. Reportedly they were both listening to Kiffin’s last-ditch effort via a speakerphone, along with another high school football player.
<o></o>
Assuming that there is at least some truth to the rude prediction, perhaps attributed to a combination of youthful inexperience and pressure to succeed, it’s interesting to consider what would have happened if Jeffery told Kiffin that he was going to the West Coast USC and not the East Coast one.
<o></o>
How would the former Southern California assistant coach have played that hand? You wouldn’t think that he’d lash into the Trojans and his mentor Pete Carroll. But who really knows with this guy?
<o></o>
Making waves is nothing new to Kiffin. He did lots of that during his brief tenure as the head coach of the Oakland Raiders. Of course, those stormy seas up in the Bay Area weren’t entirely of his own making, but he certainly did his share to rock the Raider boat.
<o></o>
Al Davis is as wacky as they come, but he did make some points that are worth debating. We won’t do that here, but it is crystal clear that the Raiders were a complete failure on the field.
<o></o>
So, the questions have to be asked. What exactly fuels this arrogance? What has Kiffin really done to deserve this lofty post? What was Tennessee thinking?
<o></o>
Advocates will state that he did a great job at USC and is the next “Pete Carroll.” USC was a juggernaut when Kiffin served as an assistant coach there. That is certainly true. However, when he was promoted to become the Trojan offensive coordinator for two seasons (2005-06), there were costly missteps.
<o></o>
Lost amid the stunning brilliance of Vince Young and the dramatic ending of the 2006 Rose Bowl/BCS title game, was USC’s utterly inept showing on crucial short-yardage plays from the first quarter to the final minutes. Either choosing to be too cute with play calls or too stubbornly arrogant to use Matt Leinart, LenDale White and Reggie Bush in the backfield at the same time, the Trojans lost the ball on downs one too many times.
<o></o>
Eleven months later, in the same Pasadena location, the Trojans needed only to beat a beleaguered 6-5 UCLA team in the regular-season finale to advance to another BCS title game. But Kiffin’s offense laid a gargantuan egg, not even breaking into double-digits in an embarrassing 13-9 loss to the Bruins. (And then, of course, Florida went on to slaughter Ohio State for the crystal football instead of the Trojans.)
<o></o>
One can understand the desire to hire “the next Pete Carroll,” but let’s remember that Carroll had actual accomplishments on his resume before lucking out and finding his comfort zone at USC. A winning record as an NFL head coach (33-31), along with six seasons as a highly-respected defensive coordinator, isn’t shabby.
<o></o>
Perhaps more importantly, Carroll -- and all the other head coaches in the country -- knows how to behave.
<o></o>
The Vols will find out the hard way. But that will ultimately come in a year or two. At least for now, we have spring football to obscure the weekly foibles of Lane Kiffin.
<o></o>
Or do we?
<o></o>
Stay tuned.

I just figured out why the economy is in such a terrible way!!!!

It's all Lane Kiffin's fault!

I don't think this author likes Lane Kiffin too much. According to him, Kiffin was responsible for everything but the Tsunami that hit Indonesia.... (I think)

id like to thank you , the general public, for overreacting to everything Lane Kiffin has said in the past couple months. thank you for keeping his name and face of the front of college football wesbites since signing day. thats the kind of publiciity you just cant buy.

thank you Oregon for playing your role. you were a token west coast team that never really had a chance in hell, but you helped get UT and Lane Kiffin some vaulable exposure that should help next years west coast recruiting. note: get a real mascot before you dare try to recruit vs SEC teams again. you embarass yourself with that disney shit

thank you Florida fans for letting a 0-0 coach make you so angry that you change your teams goals from "repeating as NC" to "beat UT". dont think the players havent noticed this. think about it, a couple monts ago you were on top of the world talking about Tebow coming back and going to a BCS bowl...now you are just looking forward to the UT game. Kiffin played you all for punks

thank you God for being a UT fan and showing Bryce whatever sign you showed him

Lane Kiffen is laughable. He signed a very average class

updated scout.com team rankings has UT 8th. this from a coach that was hired Dec 1st and turned away mltiple 4 and 5 star players that wanted to come to UT.

how is that average? ill admit it will probably be the worst class he has for the next 3-4 yrs. but for the class to be ranked 30ish when he was hired and 8th now...not average

Yeah,
I am done debating...
Pretty funny how little ole Oregon with all their 2 and 3 star athletes have managed 3 top 10 finishes since 2000 and mighty Tennessee with their stellar recruits and national exposure have just one.

hey man, no need to worry - we have too many RB's now . maybe we will kick one off and you can pick up a decent RB, i think Lamarcus Coker is it Hampton or Samford - you guys should go get him

Consider this. First get by UCLA this year with what you got. I'm not so sure that revenge will count because UCLA comes into this year's rematch with a more organized staff who is just as good if not better at their positions as UT is with theirs. UCLA's had some time to gel but UT is starting fresh with a new system and a QB with how much experience?? I don't see UCLA blowing up like they did last year but pulling it out anyway. They will be tough from wire to wire. That's the easy part.

Next year it will be UT vs Oregon and Chip Kelly showing up at Neyland with a senior Heisman candidate as a QB and an experienced offense playing with him as well as most of their defense returning. They will likely be a top 10 team in '10 and they will probably be one in '09 too, only not quite as experienced. You'd better watch out because the Ducks will be salivating at the chance to take a bite out of "USC lite." Sarkisian and now Kiffin... mmmm mmm good!

Bryce Brown... no regrets big fella. I just hope you didn't buy all the way into a house of cards because it will be a while before you see the likes of USC where you are going. I think in his mind UT's already won a NC in his future.... xceptin all they gotta do now is win thier first game. SEC??? HA! Piece of cake! Just ask Lane Kiffin.

Attention all posters!

This is what can happen when you can't stay up late enough to watch football past 9PM on Saturdays. Whether it's because you drive a bus and have to get up at 3AM to work the early shift on Sunday, OR -- because you drink too much like our friend here and find yourself passed out on the living room floor Sunday morning at 3AM with 1/2-empty beer cans all over the room.... makes no difference. You will know nothing about west coast football and you need to keep your mouth zipped, least you appear uninformed and stupid.

So don't be like the guy that wrote the above quoted text as an attempt to be humorous so as to hide his ignorance of WC football. People will see through it and know you are attempting to party your way out of a tight spot where the only real alternative would be to know something about what you are saying... which after all is the only true cure for being ignorant.

Face it. If UT could win a NC with Lane Kiffin wearing mickey mouse ears on the sidelines every week, you'd be wearing them too and be proud of it. It's a real attention getter so I wouldn't put it beyond him.

Conan: "Hey, Lane, now that your Vols have just beaten USC for the 2014 BCS National Championship, what are you going to do next?"
Kiffin: "I'm going to Disneyland!"

So, if you ever find yourself in a tight spot defending Lane Kiffin, try to remember this little retort:

Well Oku was more up in the air than Brown was. Getting him will move Poole down. I like him and believe hes an SEC caliber back, but hes not as good as the others. That group is ridiculous.

Williams is an absolute stud. NFL player.
