If Not Kiffin, then Whom?

good read. I think Mike Hamilton got it right. :thumbsup:

 

[mrgqsmooth3000]

the pickings were slim we got the right guy

 

[BeecherVol]

Kiffin + staff = good hire


We will know in short order how good.

great read

 

[BigHodgie]

great article. i like how Knox writes his stuff.

 

[VolGirl81]

yes, that was a good read and analogy

 

[smowkee]

Good article. I agree.

I still think Brian Kelly would have done well. That doesn't mean I'm bitter about the CLK hire. I just believe Kelly has a bright future ahead of him.

Knox, great writing, seriously. Good stuff from the analogies in the beginning to the analysis of the coaches later on.

 

[VolinConcord]

Solid article once again knox. Keep 'em coming!

Jon Gruden wasn't available at the time---Kiffin's better anyway.

Once football starts and this team is looking good, all the crap about CLK will disappear... No one will be talking about his loose words and his name calling or whatever, they'll be talking about his highly ranked recruiting classes and how he turned UT into the USC of the east coast... This staff will not accept failure... I know that's a cliche statement, but nothing about this staff seems cliche to me... The Vols will be back, and I believe, sooner than most people think! GO VOLS!

Very well written. I like this Knox McCoy.

Good article. I think the "manifest destiny" analogy hits the nail on the head - a combination of (subjective) arrogance, competitiveness, hard work etc. i.e. all the right ingredients to be a true MNC contender

Jon Gruden wasn't available at the time and still isn't. He'll be a Buccaneer until he's ready to not be a Buccaneer any longer---Kiffin's better anyway.

Good article. Unless proven otherwise I will say kiffin was the best choice available to Hamilton.

 

[TnTinDallas]

Good read and i can not wait til it's FOOTBALL TIME IN TENNESSEE...

 

[jhen713]

Nice read, makes me feel even more confident about the hire. I haven't been this pumped about football in March in quite a while.:dance2:

 

[Ericvol2096]

Man Knox, you are a great read...keep em comin'!

 

[rpvol]

nicely spun. very good read.

I don't understand this unless you didn't hear that Gruden was fired.

Great story. Love the writing style. Reminds of a couple posters here on VN.
