Before Kiffin there was Spurrier

Interesting that Monte called it a tongue in cheek thing when everyone is dying to assume LK had no idea what he was doing.

That's a great article and speaks a lot of truth. When Spurrier was spouting off at everyone when he was at Florida I didn't hear any apologies being issued to anyone. Bunch of babies can dish it out but they obviously can't take it.

LK might not have known that it wasn't a violation, but it's obvious that he wasn't going to place a formal accusation. He said, "I'm going to turn him in right here.." meaning that he was going to make it known verbally to that crowd. The fact is that people are dying to keep LK down, and are jumping at any and every opportunity to do so...no matter how much spin they have throw in.

The one thing we learned from Spurrier -- his players like it and took on the same attitude. If you can walk the walk ...

To our English Major I did not realize that you had to type correctly to post here. I did notice that you had an error also. I think I did learn in first grade that you start a sentence with a capital letter. I made my comment about Kiffen I did forgot which Kiffen I was referring too it’s Lane not his father Monte. I actually can not wait to see if Lane checks with Dad on the sidelines before sending in his offensive plays.

Spurrier was witty and clever. Kiffin just flat out made a claim that was factually wrong.

But most important, Spurrier was a proven commodity when he started spouting off and continued to have success, which gave him the credibility one has to have to put yourself out there like that. Kiffin doesn't have the resume to do what he did and get away with it.

It all depend on which side of the fence you are on.

Spurrier started in on UT before he won a single SEC game. Sounds about the same to me.

Since when does coaching at Duke make you a proven commodity?

Yes, but Spurrier had turned Duke around and was otherwise a coach with great credibility coming into the job.

I'mn not saying Kiffin is, or is not, his equal or going to have success. Only time will tell on that.

But in terms of this moment in time, Kiffin comes in as an unproven commodity and to say another coach actually "cheated" -- when he didn't -- and to use that specific word -- just not good politics.

Spurrier didn't use the work "cheat" and didn't have to post a retraction.

“You’re supposed to have passed the NCAA test and be on board, I think. But maybe he was just calling him as an interested observer,” Spurrier said today, laughing. “I don’t know. But technically to be able to recruit you’re supposed to pass the NCAA test.

“I know when I was hired, after the press conference I took the test to qualify you to be a recruiter. I hadn’t taken it in three or four years. At that time I could start making calls. I don’t know if he was permitted to make that call or not. You’ll have to ask somebody else.”

why does he need a reputation to do what he wants to do in changing the mindset of his football program.

Politics has nothing to do with it. He's making the point with this team and this fanbase that we aren't OK with second fiddle any longer. Whether he's proven right or wrong, that's the clear point he has been making since the day he arrived.

And I, for one, am a big fan of his arrogance/confidence. It makes me realize how boring it was with Fulmer around here.

Oh, I don't think you have to worry about that anymore. Whether you end up wishing you could go back to it or not is an open question.
