Kiffin still holding on

If UT offer to pay you a million a year to hangout and watch practices and games, would you stay at your current job? Not likely, like it or not USC was his dream job and the idiot AD failed to push a serviceable buyout figure. Anybody would take their dream job.

There's a mental condition, I forget what it's called, where the person believes himself to be the only real person in the universe. Everyone else is an "extra," not of equal importance or value, at the extreme not even real.

Folks who suffer from this condition find it impossible to see from any perspective but their own. They simply do not have the ability to consider another person's perspective.

I think Kiffin may have that condition. It would make a lot of sense with things he has said and done over the years.

I believe it’s called Narcissitic Personality Disorder.

"While Kiffin does have a point, people do switch jobs sometimes often, they usually don’t do it with a one-minute announcement before bolting out of the city. People also don’t embarrass and jolt a program the way he did Tennessee by leaving in the middle of the recruiting season."

Honestly, some of you need to evict him from your headspace.. It's been years. Let the past stay in the past and move on. The only shocking thing to me were those who wanted him back after we fired Butch. That was ludicrous imo.

Yeah, sure. He took his dream job. Fine, I get it.

He also called up recruits in the middle of the night and told them not to go to class so that they could follow him to USC. Not cool. Not to the school, not to the students, not to anyone. I hope he continues to fail everywhere he goes.

This mentality is toxic. Why hold a grudge for this long? He made a stupid mistake and has paid dearly for it. Let's forgive and forget.

I'm sure none of you all have ever made a bad decision in your life.

At this point, Kiffin brings up the night of his departure more than Tennessee fans do... I think most of us have long since forgotten it. Nobody blames him for the current state of the program, anyway.

I also think he embellished that "riot" just a bit. Yeah, somebody burned a mattress but it was hardly Watts after the Rodney King verdict.

I remember Dickey coaching UT to a loss vs floriduh in the gator bowl, then accepting the UF head coaching job the next day. Years later he became UTs atheletic director who fired Majors and hired Fulmer. Now fulmer hates Kiffen for leaving UT. Pot calling the kettle black.

I mean, I follow WHAT you're saying, but have no idea how that fits into this discussion.

I don't think Fulmer ever liked Kiffin to begin with. He voiced displeasure with Kiffin for not embracing any of Tennessee's traditions... and then there were the numerous violations including the embarrassing recruiting episode involving two members of the Orange Pride. Tennessee had to self report something like 24 violations in the 13 months Kiffin was here. Orgeron calling the mid-term enrollees after they took the USC job didn't help either.
