Started the demise of Phil Fulmer, 2nd UT game i watched start-to-finish. Tore me up. I'll never 4get my dad going, "son, you'll see a lot of these." Oh, how true.

Yeah I remember my parents and sister telling me to shut up after I was yelling and throwing stuff. I had to watch the rest of the game in our basement. Huge turning point in Fulmer's career as everyone says.

Not uncommon at all when a school changes it's head coach. You only hear about it with UT because of Kiffin's high profile. No other coach in my 38 year memory has had this much National exposure and consistently. Yes, all eyes are on him.

If UT wins 8 games this season, the chatter will be that UT will see a title run in the next 2 years. With 8 wins, we'll wind up with a top 5 recruiting class.

The downside is that if we play .500 ball this year (or worse) Kiffin will have an uphill battle. Generally speaking, football coaches get 4 years to do "their thang"; it will be no different for Kiffin.

God bless the SEC if UT does win 8+ this year - Kiffin will be everywhere; TV, mags, news, etc.

The only negative to this is that he has to produce and fast. Radio stations in Clemson are giving him 2 seasons before he is fired... and I can see that if he doesn't win fast.

With the attrition this off season, I wouldn't expect too much this season... 11 players is a lot.

Assuming no major violations and recruiting is strong he'll get a minimum of three years, probably four.

This year he'll get a pass, next year will be a rough rebuilding year, there'll be some grumbling, but if he's recruiting well the knowledgeable fans will hold their powder. 2011 is the year to watch, if that team takes a huge step forward, he'll be here a while; if the team doesn't the seat will start to get hot. It will all boil down to the next two recruiting classes which is what this staff was built for.

I hope you're right. I'd love to see Lane become a high profile coach. How could you argue with Urban Meyer, Steve Spurrier, Mark Richt, Lane Kiffen, Rich Brooks (to an extent), Les Miles, Nick Saban, Petrino (to an extent) and Houston Nutt (to an extent)? The SEC would have the BEST collective coaches in any conference.

I think a lot of people are kind of doom and gloom about these Vols. If you take a look at the schedule, by SEC standards, it's pretty soft. I think we can most likely go ahead just expect to take it on the chin from FL, GA, AL, MS but the rest are all very winnable games and all but KY are at home. I don't think that AU will be very good. Vandy will be "good." KY well we haven't lost to them since Reagan's first term. I have this hunch that Ole Miss is this year's Clemson.

I wouldn't worry too much about the 11 MIA. Only 2 were going to be real contributors the other 9 would have just stood around and killed grass on the sidelines.
Opens up more slots for Oku, Brown, type players.

Yeah, 11 sounds bad until you look at the names and start realizing that we didn't lose all that much.

I actually give him 3. Many of the same people on here drinking his koolaid will turn on him after the 2nd season if they don't think things are improving.

Some of those guys had talent but the only one who'd proven anything was Morley... and he's never been dependable. Abrams-Ward could have cured alot of ills but was apparently a bad influence within the team.
I see UGA on the way down,

I like Richt as a man but they're probably one head coaching change away from dominating the SEC for a few years.

I really respect your fan base and program. Besides a few idiots (and we all have them), Vol fans are some of the more intelligent when it comes to football, and fun to hang out with on any given day. I secretly root for you guys to do well when we don't play :swoon3:

That's a nice sentiment that's too easy to have when you've pretty much dominated an opponent for awhile.

Our main rival in HS only became a bitter rival after we broke their 20 year dominance and beat them 7 out of 10. Before that, they patted us on the head like a pet puppy while we despised them.

It would be alot easier for me not to hate UF if UT were on the other side of this run.

So you just wanna forfeit those games then. Hell why play them?

GA is good but nowhere near what they were last year. And if we had an offense we may have beat them last year.

And I am sick and tired of hearing about Ole Miss. They are so overrated it is ridiculous.

Who has he "attacked" other than the cheating thing with Urban? Exactly no one.

If you want UF to beat us just to fit your anti-Kiffin agenda, you are worse than any other rival fan. You are a disgrace. Let the man and his staff coach a DAMN GAME before judging for God's sake.

Yet another judger before a game has even been played. Amazing how many people are psychic on this board.

He wasn't saying Lane's arrival negatively impacted the SEC's overall coaching profile - he was saying the SEC already had the best set of coaches in the nation before Lane got the job in Knoxville.

Candace doesn't appreciate your defeatist attitude.
