Official Lane Kiffin thread 1

Every Tennessee football fan knows the Lane Kiffin story by heart. Some point to the failure at USC and say gotcha. But he sure looked impressive with those play cards while Alabama was winning those national titles. Just saying. And his eight straight wins at FAU is beginning to turn heads. I know; FAU is in a conference of equal talent and no other teams really want to win so eight in-a-row doesn't add to coaching cred if earned there. Sure.

Start a petition. Letting the AD know it's ok, I'm sure they're pretty gun shy right now as to who to look at for the job. We need to give them some reassurance.

^this is another reason it will never happen. Do you really think the AD is willing to take this risk, in the midst of this PR nightmare?

This high school he hurt my feelings crap is just that. Everyone leaves a job for a better job. It’s the spirit this country was founded upon. If the AD at the time had written the contract worth a darn Kiffin couldn’t have left.

Hire him and win. This isn’t hard.

Pure irony that he’s the only person that’d take the job. Sign him and LOCK HIM IN. He pays UT $1,000,000,000 if he leaves within 5 years 😂

Those were waffle house menus not play cards.

Remarkable that outside of FAU his P5 head coaching record is 35-21 with two bowl losses.

How does his trash talking and cucking of Tennessee make up for this?

I'm embarrassed for this fan base.

As in, we're going to get tired of winning?

As in claiming you're going to win and then not.

Or were you "singing Rocky Top all night long" after we got run out of Gainesville with Lane?

I wasn't.

Tennessee wasn't built on moral victories.

Pride goeth AFTER a crappy hire. I'm to the point where I'd begrudgingly accept Kiffen back with the right contract.

Wow at the Kiffin tweet. He's the college football version of Trump.

To me, Kiffin tweet is actually Kiffin keeping his eye on his current team. Not sure how it’s a slight to TN. Basically just saying, “Lots of noise, but I’m focused on FAU.” Which is what he should be doing.

Lane may actually be the only possible coach that would take the job and not sweat what happened in the past 24 hours and has the chance of winning big.

Currie has his merry band of fools have put this program in an untenable situation with the Schiano debacle. I think Kiffin is the exact coach we need at a time like this. He screwed is over so badly in the last, but I think his demeanor would be perfect for this new media climate Currie has developed. Kiffin is a quality coach, an offensive genius, and I think will have no problem telling the national media to shove it. Besides, him becoming our coach again would be the new story, not the Schianao garbage.

Currie needs to do this NOW and then resign.

I've always been in on bringing him back. The one year he was here he took a crappy team and won seven games. It would have been eight and a win of Alabama if our bad kicker that year could have kicked an easy field goal.

That kicker was injured; plus if you use that excuse, I can mention multiple big games Jones lost because of a crappy kicker.

I think he is the answer to our problems . He is cocky and has big enough balls and ego that he wouldn't care about yesterday or anything else that has happen. He can coach and his best attribute is that he knows good coaches when he sees them . Look at the coaches he brought to UT and where and what they have done since then . Ill hang up and listen
