| Tennessee is Kiffen's 1st choice. According to several very reliable sources, Lane Kiffen wants to be the next coach at Tennessee. He is holding out for this job.

| One reason I've been a big supporter of Kiffin (and I'm not sure if anyone has brought this up yet) is the way he handled his interview after being fired by Al Davis. Al Davis said a lot of terrible things about Kiffin in his press conference (notably calling Kiffin a liar), but Kiffin didn't retaliate in any way. All he said was that he was dissapointed at the way things turned out, but he was still thankful for the opportunity Al Davis gave him. This really impressed me because it showed a lot of integrity on Kiffin's part. | |

| This is exhausting.... Just hire somebody so we can advance these debates!! "I was right", "You were wrong", "I told you so", "He's going to suck", etc.
I can't wait! | |

You could say you are a member of the media and want to confirm the date.
I was told 12/8, but that could change if any conflicts arise  | why do you think they wait until the 8th?

Edit: Either way, he will bring an explosive offense, and with Boyd coming, woo, I'm getting pumped for 09

(Ripped from SEC Talk Forums)
I read this story about coach Orgeron on the Ole Miss Spirit and thought some of you might like it. Apparently, Coach Orgeron called his first team meeting the other day. I was told that in about a 15 minute period, he cussed and yelled more than most men do in their entire lives.
He came in to the locker room to his new team and stood there staring at his team. He started to talk in his strong Cajun accent and immediately began yelling at his new team that this 4-7 s**t isn't going to cut it. He talked about how the last game he coached was the national championship and screamed that it was a g*d d**n embarassment to win anything less than 10 games.
He went on yelling about how he recruited Leinart and Bush and that that he didn't come to Ole Miss to have a g*d d**n losing seasons or even to go to this bull s**t Cotton Bowl and get g*d d**n thirteenth place. Thirteenth place is bull s**t and he came here to win. He said that his team was going to play defense and hit hard. G*d d****t his team was going to play with g*d d***n passion and they were going to whip some a***s.
He then passed a box around the room and said he wanted every g*d d**n earring in the room in the box. He isn't going to have any f*****g p***y girls on his team and wanted every piece of bull s**t earring in that box right now. With the team stunned faced with about as opposite a person as one could have to Cutcliffe, Coach O started to walk towards the door. He looked back at the team as they passed around the box and said, "I'm going to walk out of here right now, and when I come back in here, I'm going to have my shirt off, and I want everyone of you motherf*****s to have your shirts off too."
He walked out and everyone, confused, started taking their shirts off. Sure enough, O walked back in, bigger than alot of the guys on the team, without his shirt on. He started yelling and telling the team that they needed to get loud. He said, "When I point to this side of the room, I want you to say 'Ole Miss.' When I point to this side, I want you to say, 'Wild Boys.'" Standing there with no shirt on with every guy in the room shirtless, started pointing to each side of the room.
Half the team would yell, "Ole Miss" while the other would yell "Wild Boys." Apparently it got pretty crazy and guys started flipping chairs, yelling, and throwing cooler across the room while chanting Ole Miss... Wild Boys. He then stopped and said, "One more thing. If any of you motherf*****s thinks you can take me, you come up here and get a piece of me right now." He gave everyone an opportunity to come up and fight him and said, "That's what I thought," and walked out of the room. In another story, Lane was out passing with another player, and Coach O apparently ran up to him, tackled him, stripped the ball, and took off running down the field. Hilarious." | This is what i'm talking about. That is fire, that is passion.
Coach O is a grown ass man. This is what I want.

| Kiffin = Shula
Ladies and Gentlemen.........I think we are about to make a big mistake.
I have nothing against Lane, I think one day he will make a fine CF coach. But this man is not ready.....especially for a place like UT.
I'm going to get blasted for this, but I'd rather had stayed with PF than chose Kiffin. Kiffin, like Shula, is not ready for SEC football. | |

And Kiffin may want to announce his staff at the same time as his announcement as our new HC. Obviously, that's one of the first questions he'd get when announced.
Again, this is just one plausible reason for such a delay if Kiffin is the new HC--which I don't know to be the case.

| I don't know much about Kiffin but I was impressed with his demeanor during all of the hoopla with Al Davis.... He always appeared calm and professional even when you knew he wanted to drop the F Bomb!
He could be a positive face for our program ala Mark Richt..... Assuming he wins of course! | |
