Q&A with Lane Kiffin

Is there anything Kiffin can say that doesn't sound good? He could tell me he's going to kill my family and I'd just be nodding my head like, "Awesome, just great. Tell me more."

You just better hope your mom can't play dt. If she can Coach Kiffin and O will come steal her away.

Q: What's the tone you're trying to set with the players by dropping in on classes and through (strength coach) Mark Smith with workouts that are going on right now?

A: "Discipline and accountability. We need guys that are accountable in all areas. I don't believe you become accountable on Saturday. You become accountable by your actions on Monday through Friday. And that's not just practice. That's how you are on campus. That's how you are in the dorm rooms. That's how you are in class. We want our guys to be disciplined and accountable in all areas. I know they'll never be late for a football meeting, or an O-line meeting or a DB meeting. So I don't understand the mentality of you're late for a tutor or you're late for a class. It needs to be the same mentality towards football as it towards academics. We'll help cultivate that, and as you've seen some guys may not want to do that and they may not be here."


AMEN

He says the right things don't he ?

Yes he does, and I like what I hear and what I hear about going on. That being said, I still want to see results before I crown CLK the king of Vol Coaches.

I am optimistic, but cautiously so. Do not just tell me what you are to do, show me your doing it.

I think I like him more and more as we hear more about him. I think he is going to put a good product on the field over the next few years.
