I keep seeing Vol fans talk about Kiffin's ability to coach and make decisions so lets break all of this down.
1. I saw an immediate change in discipline at UT which we lacked for many years which is great. Anyone remember I think last year when 2 of our big name players were showing a highly touted recruit around town and got popped for smoking pot or something and he went else where? I do, maybe not all the details. That just showed me they had little respect and fear for Fulmer.
2. Pete Carrol is one of the top 2 or 3 coaches in all of college football and evidently saw something great out of Kiffin to keep raising him up so we know Pete is not an idiot. Why raise up Kiffin if he can't coach.
3. Kiffin seems to have ran off cry babies who had it easy when Fulmer was around. One of the first things Kiffin did was check in on his team at their classes, Eric Berry being one of the first one's.
4. Kiffin helped coach some of the best college teams, offenses and QB's that ever walked the field.
5. Kiffin was evidently good enough to win 5 games in the NFL on a sorry team which by the way still sucks without him. They went 5-11 this season. So if he can win in the pros then our chances must be good at UT imo.
6. Kiffin went out and hired some of the best coaches in each position he could get. Not too shabby imo
7. Kiffin came in and got us probaly a better recruiting class then what Fulmer had before he left. I would rather have fewer players at higher caliber then more players who suck. Anyone see who was recruiting Bryce Petty, yeah nobody but us. No wonder he was screaming to come here lol
8. Kiffin has brought fire and enthusiasm back to the team and it's fans.
So for the one's who say Kiffin is running people off and everything else just look at the stats. Does Kiffin have a big mouth yeah and I wish he never sounded stupid talkiing about Meyer. But if he can back it up then talk all you want to. Never stopped Meyer and the rest of the goons in the SEC lol
For the one's who keep crying over Coleman who do you root for? Chattanooga or UT. Coleman's mouth alone was enough for me to see the bigger picture. Just look at his comments, he kept using the I comments. I could of done this, I could of done that. So it looks like Coleman was only out for himself. At least Creer left quietly. He probaly thought man I am a third stringer with Bryce Brown and Oku coming in so let me go else where. Personaly Coleman made a stupid mistake because it seems to me it was a fight between him and Crompton and with the way Crompton played last year he might of still got to play. Now Coleman misses 1 year to play football and if he goes to a big name school he will have to fight for it all over again. Plus if he wasn't good enough to take it away from Crompton what does he think will happen at another bigtime school with better qb's. If he goes to a weak conference, then he is forgotten.
Average fan predictions of the seasons
2009 7-8 wins
2010 8-9 wins
2011 9-10 wins
2012 and beyond 9-10 wins or more and always competing for some type of title like we use to.
My predictions
2009 8-9 wins, we should of went 7-5 last year alone so we have to get better imo
2010 8-9 wins unless Nick Stephens or Mike Rozier rip it up
2011 10 wins and upsetting some folks
2012 back in the saddle again fighting for supremacy in the SEC and the Nation.
In conclusion I trust Kiffin and will stand by him until we just suck and lose but hey I am being real. I am shooting for 8-9 wins in 09 and anything less then 7 is a letdown. Unless we lose a lot and still beat the Gators in the swamp lolol So until otherwise I stand by what Kiffin is doing right now.
Long Live the Kiffin:rock::rock::dance2:
