Official Press Conference Thread

[UTAlum03]

I think he was indirectly talking to VN when he made the comment to all "the message boards" that were eager to know who would be on staff w/ him. We can't help it, though. We want the whole package, and we want it now! :dance2:

 

[Cooleyvol]

He said he is not going back to the NFL because of what he thinks of Tennessee.

Perhaps he already sees that this is one sweet job and a job that lends itself to long tenures if you just do you job and win.

 

[Ericvol2096]

I got chills....

 

[KCVolLaw]

I sorta got a feeling he is a little..."phony". Maybe not. The kinda guy that tells you what you want to hear, and not the truth. I hope not but thats my initial impression.

Yes we know you don't like him. You seem to be in the minority.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

He is not Fulmer.

 

[rbroyles]

She looks like a porn star!

Real classy, unlike you.

 

[The Dude]

He's got a lot of us on board after this presser.

 

[orangeaid]

He is not Fulmer.

Thats the best part.

 

[Mudcat]

He is not Fulmer.

Thank God for that.

 

[turn3]

Back on.

102.3 The Talk Monster! WGOW-FM

 

[AllVolYall]

Two things I liked

1: young players will get a chance to play and start if they are good enough

2: we will be a physical team. Only the guys that play tough will be on the field " and we will find out who those guys are."

 

[GIVEHIM-6]

Al Davis is probably right about this guy folks...

When I listened to the conference with Al Davis about the letter,I thought Al made him sound like a snobby brat that always tried to get his way.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Thank God for that.

Amen.

 

[TNsmokey]

His swagger is great. I love the no nonsense aspect...wow TN football is hurting for that so much. Hopefully he puts it to Urban and Saban...win or loose, Kiffin will fight 'em hard.

 

[utmba93]

Man i wish we could have gotten Kiffin 4 years ago.. we would have Patrick Turner and Golden Tate!

One thing he confirmed is that if you get a beast, you've got to play him and play him soon (i.e. as a Frosh).

 

[what what]

This is great stuff, I have never been more pumped anticipating next season than I am now.

 

[orange parmejohn]

the thing that i took from the pc, that i really like, is that Kiffin leaves no doubt about what he wants to do and that he is control of this team. he gives the feel of a guy you really dont want to piss off. i hope that translates to better off the field behavior.

 

[Rizzo924]

So, is it okay to say you're going to memphis ... #1 recruit" - I know coaches can't mention names, just didnt' know if he accidently said something he's not supposed to say...

confidence can sometimes come off as being snobby. I like it.

 

[Mudcat]

I'm ready for a fast-forward to 9-5-09.

Since we have to assume its MB and we don't actually know for a fact I'd say it's fine.

 

[theutvolunteers]

No Joke.

 

[TheVol]

Yes, it was a very professional PC. He looks and sounds like he is ready to get to work.

 

[utmba93]

Maybe some more of you guys can sign up for 10 win season now.

Lane is the man. I think he can!

 

[bigtime]

I havent got a chance to hear him yet but I like what yall are saying
