While it still sucks to have lost, I really enjoyed how honest Lane Kiffin was in his post game interviews and during his show. It was truly refreshing.

No mincing of words and no general statements. He gave good solid info, said they should have won by 14, put the blame on the coaches and the offenses inabilities and praised the defense.

He speaks his mind and I for one enjoy it.

My Dad and I discussed this as well. It is refreshing.

He was asked what he told Crompton at halftime and his response was, "whatever it was, it didn't work because he came out and threw an INT on the first play." lol

I agree! I love this coach!! And I am absolutly sick of all these threads saying, Kiffin exposed, will Kiffin lose the fans, blah blah blah!!! I would love an undefeated year with a BCS NC but it aint gonna happen. I've said it once and I'll say it again, give this staff time to get their players in here and we will be back on top period! No matter what happens the rest of this season, I'm not throwing this staff under the bus. We have a ton of studs that are true Fresh and will have another great class comin in next year, we are on our way. Just give it time!

Lane can coach too; that is refreshing. I reviewed the first half of the game again today and on every crucial play (especially when we were inside the red zone) there was at least one open receiver on every pass play. You can surmise your own conclusions as to why we didn’t win, but we should have won by at least 14 points.

Kiffin will be a big winner at Tennessee. It has been seldom that a coach turned a program around in one year. We will have a winning season this year, better next year and in the mix for the SEC championship every year after that.

We do have great coaches. It's just that the Qb position is seriously holding us back right now. Look at the recruits Lane got today. I have no doubt we are on our way back. Even Willis said we are just a Qb away....

I just watched the replay of the Lane Kiffin show and I must say it was refreshing to hear his honesty and see the fire in his eye from losing. The comments about the players if their not sick and can't sleep because of the loss if their not feeling that way their not the type of players we want here was strong.

I'm not worried about our coaches. It's the lack of a QB that worries me.

I don't think that the coach's become liable until year 3 at the very earliest. They are still working with the raw material from Fulmer and it appears that talent is not what I had thought that it was. At least as far as the QB issue is concerned.

Pete Carrol, Bob Stoops, Nick Saban(LSU and Bama), and Jim Tressel all stuggled their first year.

We haven't recruited this well in a long time. Just give us two years...

I love the honesty, at least he can say up front what he thinks,and what he thinks went wrong. instead of well I think I will have to review the tape and see where we went wrong and work like heck to correct it.

Kiffin is so straight to the point that he just skips all the negative. Kesling's new job seems to be reminding the viewers which of the turnovers this play or that play came before or after. I'm used to seeing the replay of turnovers in chronological order.

Skipping all the negative plays I was surprised Kiffin actually allowed the last 4 plays of the game to be shown on his show. Maybe this is a good idea for him and the players.

I do disagree with one thing though. Maybe I missed something but Kiffin didn't analyze anything in depth or use specifics such as... Jones blew this route here or Crompton didn't read this correctly.

Why would he go into great detail about his plays. That would be doing the scouting and game planing for the other team. They could see the defense and the main read on the play.

Well you know we're a young team and we've had some injuries. Still, we were just a play away.

He didn't want to go that route? Works every time.

who cares for his honesty. if you watched the game you have to realize that the coaches sucked horribly in that game. next time why not try doing a better job.

What is he supposed to do? He can either run the ball or have Crompton throw an INT, into the dirt, or a 1 yard dump off pass on 3rd and 8.

Yeah. Any moron could have won that game with Crompton at QB and UCLA's rush D stacking the line against Hardesty and Brown. Pitting a walkon against an All-American shouldn't be a problem, either.

put nuke in and run the option, i don't care. the man is suppose to be a offensive guru. he called the game like fulmer used to. he could have put stevens in. he could have tried.

he could have tried anything. trick plays anything. the man really let the tennessee faithful down. honestly that was one of the worst coached games i have ever seen. if nick stevens is no better than crompton, well that means we have 2 more losing seasons coming.

When? When we were a yard away from winning the game? Or were you wanting to run the option from 60 yards out with 100 seconds remaining?

he should have pulled crompton after halftime when he was picked. crompton is a headcase. when he makes one mistake it is all downhill. honestly i would have liked to see him try anything. he basically just gave up. either we would win it with our backs or not at all.
