Who brought Kiffin in? Hamilton. Who will bear the brunt of his violations? Ditto.

Pat Haden is a terrific choice. A brilliant, insightful guy on TV, I wonder if it took this long for them to talk him into to wading into the cesspool that USC has become.

It's like Bryce Brown, as far as I'm concerned. If he wants to come in at the bottom of the depth chart and play his way into playing time, it's all good. But he wants to be in the white hot spotlight. Wonder who'll take him, because I bet he's gone now that Henderson has been let loose from...

VolNation, thanks for providing some great summer reading on this thread. It has all the elements -- breaking news, truth, lies, accusations, villans near and far and a hero (pimo1) to tie it all together. I generally avoid posting among the hardcore (that's a complement) because I hate being...

Best spin I've seen on an AJC board: At least they weren't orange panties...

Was the cheesburger loaded?

Gallagher (the comic, not the old Giants infielder) once said this: "California is like granola. Them's that not fruits or nuts is flakes."

That would be correct. Nor shoud he at this point. Out of control message boards are not his friend right now. Let he and the players get acquianted without lurkers hanging on every word.

Seeing more than a few reports here about Kiffin sweeping a failed drug test under the rug, I wonder if this is Dooley forcing Douglas to confront his demons while Kiffin (who clearly did not give a d*** about his players as people) merely looked the other way. It would be consistent with what...

Here's a different kind of answer to the question: you want the state's top prospect, or top three, or top five. Or perhaps you want the state of Georgia's top prospect more than any other. Then, a year down the road, you actively go after the top recruit in Alabama, and Florida. You...

Hamilton was saying Kiffin didn't get Tennessee -- and that answer proves he still doesn't. And that was a perfect answer, KnoxVillain.

Not quite where this thread expected to go.

But hasn't Chuck Smith already done Atlanta radio? Maybe being a former member of the media gives him press access. :good!:

Most reasonable fans will say that this class was a mixture of Kiffin's and Dooley's efforts. Of course, most reasonable fans don't post here.

It strikes me that there is relatively little alarm over how young much of this staff is. Smith, at 40, is older than at least three, maybe four, of the staff including Dooley. Remember how much concern there was over Kiffin's age at the time?
