| Monte's not. Lane is. I was a tag along on a postgame plane back from a road trip game. Monte talked the whole time and was enjoyable to speak to. Lane acted like a dick to the owner of the plane on a couple of occasions. And we had won.
To be honest, I think that dude hated Tennessee compared to SoCal. He was probably pissed that he had to go back to Ktown and hear his wife complain about it. | |

| Most people hate Kiffin for the aftermath of what he left behind, and it doesn't matter if any of us on VN ever had a single interaction with him. He may be a nice guy for all I know, but I will always loathe him for setting the program back a good 5 years minimum for the way he left. |

| For some reason, Doyel read as Dooley when I originally saw this thread. | |

As a direct result he put Derek Dooley behind the 8-ball going in to this job.
How can any orange-blooded UT fan ever overlook or totally forgive such an malicious assault to their program?! | |

| So to summarize: the real Lane Kiffin is not a jerk, but the plan (concocted and enacted with UT's approval) was to "act" like a jerk while at UT, because being a jerk was a prerequisite for recruiting at UT-- unlike recruiting at USC, where he can be the nice guy he really is because jerkdom is not embraced there. Any takers?
BTW, I think Doyel is a jerk. Ya think he's just acting? | |

| He hurt the program badly, but I don't think he is a terrible guy. Lets move on.
