Basillo: Lane Kiffin wants to come home

[BigOrangeTrain]

Basilio has been pretty damn on point lately.

Everyone was freaking out about Pruitt visiting To’oto’o and Steele being hired. Basilio was adamant the whole time Pruitt was finished.

Yep

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Would Kiffin had led Coastal Carolina to wins vs #13 BYU
And
#20 Louisiana ?

Would Chadwell have hung 48 on Alabama and been tied with them going into halftime?

Basillo is the on air equivalent of click bait. Zero cred.

More BS from the sports talk National Enquirer

Basilio's blog on Thursday, which he posted on Wednesday night, listed three names that the search firm may produce, and Danny White was on his list.

That was the most exciting year of TN football since '98.

Honestly the only reason we got so mad is because we liked him and saw potential. Guarantee if Pruitt left us after year one we would have been fine with it. Kiffin had us showing a ton of potential and had everyone excited about football. That's why we got so upset at him leaving. It's because we liked where he was taking us, along with his confidence and his fun. We liked the black jerseys, the way Crompton played, him jabbing other coaches, and that he kept us competitive with the Big 3.

I'd take him back in a heartbeat, but he needs to have a huge buyout this time where he cant just up and leave.

I learned today through someone resurrecting an old thread that Tony B reported Lovie Smith was on his way. Do we really know for realsies that Kiffin wants to come back here?

AV confirmed that Kiffin has expressed interest. I get the vibe that AV and Kiffin are close.

UT is not Lane Kiffin's home. USC was his dream job...that is his home. UT was just a stepping stone for him.

I don’t understand reaching back 11 years for a reason to give no weight to information from a longtime local sports talk radio host, while trusting information from an anonymous message board poster.

Kinda off subject.. I used to think that somehow Kiffin would wind up at Miami. Just seemed to me like the perfect fit for The U.

 

[Mose Phillip's Watch]

I think Kiffin just punked a bunch of fools in the media & some over zealous Vol fans

 

[Mose Phillip's Watch]

Fair point

Oxford is pretty nice. Lots of money there & the most college town not named Athens

Truth

From his blog today

Lane Kiffin is ...

Really ... REAlly.....REALLY wanting to get back to Knoxville! He has been reaching out to multiple boosters this week trying to get involved with the Tennessee job. And I'll tell you something here today ... I believe Lane Kiffin is serious and not just flirting. I also think he's talking to some people that could do something about this from Tennessee's standpoint. Could Lane Kiffin and Tennessee happen? I'm not going to say today that he's in play but I'm surely not either. I'll put it this way ... Danny White had zero intention of ever leaving UCF

If it happens, we need to donate at least a couple of mattresses to Sip in good faith...

Everyone on here giving Basilio crap obviously hasn’t been reading or listening to him lately. He’s one of the few that have actually been close to spot on lately. If he says it, I’d trust it, unlike Hyams or the 247 guys.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

my goodness Get over it

Over what? Just stating fact.

You can say what you want about these guys but Tony B and Trey Wallace have been the 2 guys that I’ve paid the most attention to lately. The other guys are too scared they’re gonna piss someone off at the university and are too scared to report anything until after the fact.
GBO!!

These are going to be interesting times we're going through with a very legit AD in charge of finding the next Tennessee head football coach! The Starting Lineup on 990 The Sports Animal is talking about why everyone seems to want Lane Kiffin as the next Tennessee head football coach.

NO

 

[VOLINVONORE]

USC doesn’t have a vacancy now. Knoxville is not his home.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Per Swain, Kiffin would come if offered, he wants to come back

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Kiffin has rebuilt his image somewhat and is a good football coach and recruiter, but can you trust someone who is always looking for the bigger better deal?

 

[salutethehill]

Kiffin is a man that made a personal/business decision. He enjoyed his time here. He was never out to get Tennessee. Some of y’all need to grow up.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Kiffin is the new Freeze/Gruden.

Kiffin is the new Freeze/Gruden.

but Kiffin is possible...the others are not
