Thoughts on Kiffin (merged)

[VolsRule]

Looks like Kiffin is still the head coach of the Raiders.

I read on a Raiders blog that he may be fired tomorrow, depending on Al Davis.

In Ryan's defense, the Raiders haven't exactly been stocked with talent during his tenure. That said, his brother is the better coach.

I'll give him that. He does a tremendous job scouting talent, but he plays the patented "soft zone" when the game is on the line. He loses his and his defenses greatest asset... aggressiveness.

Personally I think Kiffen has done at pretty good job at Oakland. At least they are competitive.

Given the circumstances? (he's a glorified OC)

Yeah, I would agree.

That malady afflicts 99% of NFL D coordinators

Yeah, at least he's not like Bob SLowik (Denver's DC)..."Let's rush 3 the whole game."

Chris Petersen is the beset choice

Lane Kiffin for the next head coach. I know he has struggled for Oakland, but who hasn't. He's young, an offensive mind (coach Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush, etc.), energetic, has pro ties, comes from an historic program and was under the best CF coach in America, and will be available at the end of the season. What do you all think.

I think I'll wait to give my opinion until Fulmer's gone.

Surprised it didn't start with "fire Phil"

How about Bill Cowher?

How about Bill Cowher?

That would be absolutely incredible. Bring some toughness to this joke of a team.

Bring on John Grudon

Bring on John Grudon

Who?


Or did you mean John Gruden. I hear he owns property in the East Tennessee area and is interested in leaving the NFL.

i really like the idea of peterson though, it would be a big step for him and I think he would set out to prove something. Plus I htink alot of recruits would want to play in that type of open system in the sec.

Jon Gruden would be a great hire, but he makes too much money in the NFL for UT to match.

Peterson is living off of Dan Hawkins' leftovers.

Dan Hawkins isnt as smart as Petersen,if you watched some of Boise's games you would no that.Hawkins made tons of mistakes when he was at Boise,I saw a bunch of QUESTIONABLE calls when he was there.Petersen=future of Tennessee.
