I'll jump in the fire as well. I've read the article a few times now and just don't see the "hate" or inaccuracies that most of you are referring to. If anything, the author seems like a loyal vol fan with perhaps a justified (though overly dramatic) level of concern... but not hate. And, before you also label me a "Fulmerite"... trust me, that is not the case. I think Kiffin has done an excellent job of keeping UT in the spotlight. This was probably necessary when he first arrived to help with recruiting. However, he's now had one successful year of bringing in new talent and based on present status... his second year will be even better. I like his brashness on the field, and at this point that's where the results will mean the most.
On the other hand, I've lost count of the number of posters that seemingly can only contribute insults... versus insight or introspect. For those of you who disagree, I would challenge you to read the article again and respond with what it is you actually disagree with because there's quite a bit in the article that most have already agreed to in other VN posts...
Coach Lane Kiffin has been called brash, cocky, and arrogant. - True.
These descriptions and actions have been cheered by the Vol nation because it helps recruiting, and recruiting is the name of the game. - True
Kiffin takes his personal assistant, who is forbidden to do off-campus recruiting, on a recruiting trip to a Florida high school. The assistant graduated from the school. - True
Its unfortunate that these two young women now find themselves at the center of a scandal. - True
Is it a coincidence the investigations are occurring on the eve of the recruiting season? - We've all thought the same.
