The Lane Kiffin Thread

[VFL 24/7]

Lane Kiffin would come in here and win big. Might take some time due to potential sanctions, but players love him, fans love him, and he brings some swag back that we haven't seen. Hire Lane, and let him redeem himself and we will all watch this back on a 30 for 30 one day.

He sure did kill it the last time he was handed a school dealing with sanctions

If he is hired soon enough, I could see some players opting out of the portal.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. UT is going to do whatever they want. I'll feel like a chump if he comes back. He put us through 12 years of football purgatory.

NO,NO,NO!!!!

He wouldn’t win big early if NCAA violations resemble those at USC (he got fired for anyone that doesn’t know why I say that). So we as fans would have to be willing to give him time to navigate the sanctions and then a couple years to rebuild, likely 2 years on top of any sanctions we get hit with.

I think he’d do great here. That being said, there’s no guarantee he stays here for long. Hopefully he wouldn’t bolt after one year. If we do get him, he’ll have done that twice in his career already.

just imagine....
Kiffin comes back to redeem himself.
Beats Florida year one
Sweeps UF, UGA, and Saban in year 2

If you say no, you're just still salty about something that happened a decade ago. Yes, I was pissed. However, who wouldn't take their dream job if offered? Don't lie to yourself. Lane would've won big here if he stayed and he will win big here if he returns with our resources.

CLK didn't put is in purgatory, an incompetent administration did that.

Not No.... Not Hell, No........

Hell Effing No!

 

[SmokeyDog1973]

Yes I would. I was hoping we would hire him after we canned Butch

And maybe this is what it will take to set things right. Who knows! Personally I think HE needs this as much, if not more than we do. I think leaving us the way he did all those years ago has haunted him. I think its a regret he's lived with for a long time and I think the reason he wants back here so badly is redemption. Plus I think he knows he can win here.

Kiffin is fantastic with offense that is why Nick Saban hired him to the OC at Alabama. Kiffin is an absolute loser when it comes to defense. He even scored well against Alabama. If you were two hire Kiffin be sure you also hire the best in a DC.

She did look good in orange...

 

[pondr]

I’m of two minds about this, and so am I.

 

[JRich]

Meh - In the back of my mind, I will always be waiting for him to bail for greener pastures. Darn good offensive mind. Knows how to scheme and get in the right play.

He won an average of 7 games. Which is better than cornbread gump who we just fired. He also has matured since those days and you saw what he did this year with a terrible ole miss roster.

Tennessee is on no position to pull a caliber coach like Kiffin.
Hell three years ago we thought we were too good for Schiano. Today he wouldn’t even give us a second look.
Vols football is dead, it’s going to take years to recover from this mess.
Expect a Google coach this time around.

 

[OL SMOKEY]

Bring Visor Man Home

 

[evergreen15]

He's good coach with the hype around him that people believe he is great.

What if I told you, you can go home again?
