I want Kiffin, but don't act like defense isn't important. Football is about both and you still win at the LOS. Kiffin would need to hire a great DC and pretty much let him do his thing. At least Kiffin knows it takes both if you want to play for championships. GBO!!!!

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.

Ummmm no. We have 44 million locked and loaded for new coach.

IF Kiffin were the choice for head coach, you just put a provision in the contract that says that he has a high dollar buyout if he voluntarily exits his contract early during a certain number of years. You then have a multiplier to that amount for specific schools named in the contract, which would include USC, Alabama, and UCLA (which could offer him a lot of money, a chance to move back to LA again, and a chance for him to stick it to USC).

The absurdity that so many are displaying in the delusional idea that we could just go and get Kiffin if we want him is astonishing. He is becoming the new Gruden.

We might as well start saying he owns land in East TN, claiming he’s on planes to Knoxville, that he’s enrolled his kids in school, etc.

There’s absolutely no chance Kiffin would take this current disaster of a job, especially considering the penalties that are coming. Especially when far better jobs are right around the corner.

We’re making ourselves look pathetic. Kiffin left here after one year and now many are desperate for him to come back. It’s like begging your ex-wife who very publicly dumped and humiliated you to come back.

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.

Yes or no? Wanted to see a poll on it for this point in time.

No way!!! If we mistakenly hire him and he happens to win some here, he would be gone in a flash. He has no dignity or loyalty to offer us. I can't believe he would even be mentioned as our future coach. Let's get behind a coach that could serve as a model of decency that everyone including our children could look up to...

Someone please explain the Kiffin love. I don't get it. He's not a great coach, not even a good coach in my mind. The loose cannon to coaching greatness ratio tips too far to the loose cannon side, particularly in the current state of the program. Someone tell me what I'm missing. I remember the day the VOLS announced that they were hiring Kiffin, this moron I used to work with, who is an Auburn fan comes over and says, "You all are going to tear the SEC apart with him." I said, ok, and started doing research on him. Two days later, I walked over to my coworker's desk and said, "The University is screwing up hiring Kiffin. He is untried and there is no guarantee that he will ever be anything other than a mediocre coach." I was laughed at. Next thing you know, he's gone. Then he's at USC, fired. Then he's an assistant coach then offensive coordinator at Bama. Then a small school coach, now he's gone 5-5 at Ole Miss, with a good roster. Let's look at some numbers and other things.

His overall head coaching record (including at the Raiders) puts him at 56.8 percent wins.
His overall college head coaching record (66-39) puts him at 62.9 percent wins.
His Power 5 coaching record 40-26, that's 60.6 percent wins.
His SEC head coaching record 12-11, that's 52.1 percent wins.
His head coaching record against SEC opponents while an SEC coach is 47.1 percent.
He's never coached at one school more than 4 years. Further, almost every school he's coached at he followed a great coach (Fulmer, Carroll, and to a lesser extent, Freeze).
We can throw out anything about his time as a coach/coordinator at Bama (if you disagree, can I point to Jeremy Pruitt?)

I don't get it, tell me what I'm missing?!

I think he has been his own worst enemy, as I have already said, but think about the situations he has had:
A dysfunctional Raiders organization, before, during, and after his time there.
Only had 1 year at Tennessee.
USC was on major probation (30 scholarships lost and no bowl games), and he did miracles there (even if that wasn't appreciated). They were 28-15 under his guidance.
Had a 10 win and an 11 win season in 3 years at FAU.
One year at Ole Miss.

Now, if he can just stay put, maybe we can see what he is really capable of.

I think he would do great here but I would always be leery of his loyalty and his methods........I just don't know. We could do a lot worse but we could do better as well.....I just don't know.

Then you become even more of the laughing stock of college football. 🤷‍♂️
