I thought it was sweet. I was watching that game. But, I get what you are saying.

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.
He handled it better than I ever would have.

You would have seen me strangling Al with piano wire if he said he wasn't going to pay me millions he owed me

It was fitting given the situation the Raiders are in. The absurd has become everyday in that camp.

That should be one of the first questions asked at the press conference. I'd love to see his response now that he has another job.

Consider the following about M. Kiffin as DC.....

Most "employer sponsored pensions" (in his case, NFL) are based on a combination of wages and "years of service".... Therefore, if this held true for the NFL, what would M. Kiffin really gain by hanging around the Bucs a few more years? He already has 20+ years of service so his pension should be FAT already!! Plus, the reduced compensation from UT could be supplemented by his NFL pension if needed. Not to mention the dude could get $1,500+ per month Social Security if he needed groceries!! :D

Point being, blood is thicker than water! I wouldn't be surprised AT ALL if M. Kiffin decided to help/join his son!!!

Yeah but the fact is he probably told a small fraction of what he saw. Davis is not mentally competent and someone should take him to court and remove him from his perch. He would want someone to do this any of us would. Davis in the 80s would have been disgusted to see himself now.

I am glad to see that his bro-in law Reaves will be coming with him. That may get us back in cohoots with some prospects.

Justin, who is going to the recruiting coordinator?
Coach O or Reaves, I think Reaves handles that job at USClittle

If true, Hammy did one helluva job assembling an all star staff. My hat goes off to Mike if this goes down as planned.

I can see Monte wanting to coach his last 2-3 years with his son and riding off into retirement.

Orgeron would be the DC-in-waiting and DL coach.

If Monte comes, what does that mean for Orgeron? Think he'd take a lesser role than DC? Or maybe they'd share it?
