Kiffin went too far by describing an unsigned recruit's ability and using his name during a Knoxville radio show.

Mike Slive had publicly reprimanded Kiffin, advising him that the phone calls were not a violation and questioning the coach's knowledge of the rules after he accused Meyer of cheating.

Kiffin told a USC recurit that if he signed with South Carolina that he would end up pumping gas for the rest of his life like all the other South Carolina players.

...Not to mention the Pahokee issue.

Good enough? if not - Fire Lane Kiffin: Tennessee Self-Reports Recruiting Violations - Kiffin, Orgeron

And......we got a top 10 recruiting class.

And for that, I say congrats. It it translates onto the field in the next few years, even better for you guys. A lot of Head coaches get top 10 recruiting classes without all of the shenanigans.

The Meyer situation was obviously not planned and the USC comment will always be a mystery, but the Pahokee situation was a joke. That principal shouldn't have a job.

He doesn't owe me, I just needed an avatar title.

LOL, agenda much Two Bits?

OH no, secondary violations, what will we do with our program now? They're par for the course in college football, open your eyes and you may see it someday.

South Carolina comment was proven to be false, but you don't care to mention that.

And Pahokee... please reference Mark Richt and how the Georgia Bulldogs are no longer welcome in a high school IN THEIR OWN STATE. It's such a nonstory now, but keep grasping at straws.

Disappointing.....I was hoping for a really good story.

To each his own.

Vols will strugle this year, put up a 9 win season next. Stay Tuned!

I actually admire Kiffin's cockiness. Reminds me of a younger Spurrier. I just don't buy that his missteps were all by design.

In any event, there are few coaches that would/could have achieved the positive results this program has seen since his hiring at UT.

Planned or not, people are most definitely talking about Tennessee. Just look at how many times we've been mentioned on TV, or how many articles have been written about the Vols in the off season. Do I think that Kiffin planned every comment out? Of course not. However, he did jump at the chance to draw some attention any way he knew how and as a result, people are talking about Vol ball again, and you know they're going to be paying attention this season and continue talking. There are other schools that have hired new coaches, how much have we heard about any of them the past few months? Not much.

If he's actually saying that, the claims that he is a pathological liar suddenly seem very credible.

I'm not sure I'd be using Al Davis as my ace in the hole.
