I understand a lot of people are upset that Ausmus was not offered a contract. However, I think he was more committed to staying with Kiffin and Orgeron that he was to Tennessee. I think it was good riddance personally, let all the dirt bag Kiffin cronies go to USC. It was also noted that Coaches Thompson and Chaney did not see eye to eye with Kiffin and I do think they are very committed to Tennessee. Especially since Kiffin would not let Chaney call plays.
Also, I am sick of hearing Kiffin's name so much. He was a real tool who is very lucky to have a father who coached for many years in the NFL, because without that Lane the pain would be a no body. The way he left Tennessee along with Orgeron and Monte says a lot about their class. Lane is a joke and everyone knows Orgeron is a slime dog but most of all I lost a lot of respect for Monte. Any other father would have pulled their son aside after some of the things Lane did and inserted a boot in their ass.
Bottom line is the group that left including Monte was classless and definately lacked integrity. We now have a great coach and most importanting someone who has and understands values and integrity. So the hell with Lane the pain and the rest of the slime dogs. Go Big Orange.
