Lane Kiffin (Head football coach of the University of Tennessee)

[wbailey7]

I like a very direct person. It seems to me that too many coaches try to walk on eggshells these days. That Spurrier-like attitude is what we've been missing. Haha, see the Auburn Library coloring books.

Lane felt that JaMarcus would be a bust. Al drated him anyway. The point being, many on this board that reflect to Lane only lasting a short time need to know the real reason he was fired. It wasnt job performance per se...but rather realizing that Davis is a fool...and having the balls to say it.

JeMarcus and Lane are great friends as a coach/player and off the field as well. Research that!

You can be friends with a guy and still know he will be a bust in the NFL.......which he will be.

It's a well known fact that Kiffin wanted a another QB on the roster and that he wanted Monte to run the defense there in Oakland

It's like these media guys don't know where to go to be 'in the know' on the Vols.

Whatever you have to tell yourself to make you feel better about the new coach

I don't have to tell myself anything. It's common knowledge.

he was on the radio here yesterday and they asked him about who would be good for TN....the hose said what about Butch Davis?

Schad said "sure, that sounds good".

boy, that sure is inside info. with stuff like that i can't believe there's any room for doubt.

Johnny Mac from the Houston Chronicle just now finished speaking with John and Jimmy. Jimmy asked him what he thought about Lane Kiffin as a head coach and he said NOT MUCH. He basically stated the only reason he was hired at Oakland was because he was a 2nd choice and they assumed Monte would come with him. He made several valid statements one being he feels he needs to go back to a smaller role maybe as an OC some where and prove himself before he is hired as a HC at any level because people are sold on his name and not his resume!

I'll take him over Leach or Peterson
