Could one of you point out exactly what he has accomplished, that makes him a viable candidate for UT HC. I am mystified by the gushing over him, that I see on this board.

Thank you.

In this same thread maybe you can point out exactly what Dale Jones has accomplished as well.

I didn't think you had an answer.

Dale Jones hasn't proven anything. I want someone young and untested, but pure Orange Blooded.

Lane Kiffin is a proven West Coast loser IMHO.

Now, what has he done?

He was turning around the raiders before he was canned unfairly....He was at USC and was one of the best recruiters they had has NFL connections through his dad and also being there himself...A young guy who at the age of 33 has a lot of coaching experience for someone that age....won't have to pay a buyout clause because he is already on the market so the school would be saving money....Would relate a lot better to the recruits these days telling them how to get to the next level because he has been there and knows what NFL personnal are looking for

Thank you. The recruiting factor is probably the strongest arguement I've seen for him.

You're barking up the wrong tree, Wild Man. I'm down with Will Muschamp.

he could be either a hit or miss IMO. he's shown me nothing that indicates he can win, but at the same time i don't know enough about him to make the conclusion that he would a bad hire either.

Why would you want someone that is untested? There is a reason that I-AA position coaches never make the jump to I-A head coaches.

Kiffin is just another in vogue commodity right now...no different than say Petersen. However at least Chris is coaching and doing okay.

I would not want Kiffen at all...just watching him in that press conference...whatever...regardless of the senile state Davis is in Kiffin looked like a little punk.

Mark this down...UT will go after a proven winner both on the W columna and the recruiting column...UT Football has not other choice with what Saban, Meyer, Miles and Richt are doing. Remeber all those schools had to rise to the occasion to pull away from the Spurriers and the Fulmers...UT will have to do the same. And in that respect...what has Kiffin done except get himself fired.

Davis, Stoops, Gruden...those are your big 3 for starts. Mike Leachs name may come up as well. Not saying we'll get them by any means...just saying thats where they'll begin the search.

The Kiffins, Petersens etc...those name won't come up unless we come up short.

Also, buyouts etc... salary etc... $$$ will not be an issue. Anybody that thinks so...your just crazy.

Every time someone says Stoops, I just laugh. You don't leave the number 1 program in the country to start everything over.
