Might be because Kiffin isn't there to recruit those playmakers?

I know Orgeron or however you spell it is the hot name for DC still, but does anybody think A) Monte might come with his son or B) Ken Norton Jr might be called upon to be DC here.

I believe Norton Jr will be here on Kiffin's staff

If Kiffin is announced as the HC and he has the success we are all hoping for, how long we he really be at UTK? 5 years at the most.

Sounds good. I think he is not only a good coach but a good recruiter as well.

Kiffin's always been light years ahead of others his age | Oakland Tribune | Find Articles at BNET

Great article about Kiffin when he was hired at Oakland. This is the guy we need.

the only thing that worries me about Kiffin is his susceptibility to gossip and petty conflicts. He is young and it didnt take him long to alienate his boss and have a he said, crazy man said thing go on after less than a season. I get the fact he was in a no-win situation but I wasn't impressed with how he handled it either. Can he handle the scrutiny of the meida and late night arrests of his players? Yikes....

I thought he handled himself extremely well throughout that whole debacle.

Attempting the 70+ yard field goal was a little low.

He certainly emerged toting more credibility...


Lane'll make an almost immediate positive impact at Tennessee. There will always be doubters, but when Kiffin decided he'd pursue this job, Tennessee's national stock went up.
