this is from an NC State message board, thought you guys would be interested in an ACC fans view on Kiffin.
I guess he really is the talk of every town.

It's in college football's best interest for Kiffin to fail miserably at UT. Back to the recruiting mess, no one has a huge problem with his Urban bashing, kind of funny. But to sit here and defend Kiffin when he talks about how Urban was commiting violations with regards to that NewKeese guy? JB, you get on here and say that these are all minor violations that Kiffin has committed and that we are all trolls? Then how exactly would you describe Kiffin's choice to criticize Urban's recruting tactics on TV. If the media are all trolls, then Kiffin's no better, and he brought it up this issue to boot, so is he the ultra Troll? Moral of the story, I could care less if he says Urban fondles sheep, that's all fun and games. Just don't accuse him of impropriety in his profession when you do the same. And certainly don't have members of your fanbase call other whistle blowers in the media "trolls" when you're coach is the ultimate troll.
The bigger issue is the precedent he's starting. If Kiffin has success with his reckless mouth and classless character, then other coaches will pick up on it and it will perpetuate throughout the game which would be disaster to me. What's going to happen is that Florida will hang 50 on UT, and Kiffin will say that Urban has no integrity and cry because he ran up the score, you're not going to see too many two way roads with Kiffin. I'd be embarassed to have this guy as a coach, but if that's what it takes to recruit and subsequently win, then college football needs to re examine the landscape. Like I said, I don't mind the careless bickering and chest thumping he projects, but don't corss that line and say that Urban is breaking rules and violating NCAA policy, especially if you're doing it ten times over.
