In his WHOLE coaching stint???
Name one thing!
And it cant be the turn around of JC...many kids just come out of their shell happens all the time.
hmm. sounds like you're coming into this argument with the rules bent in your favor at the get go so you could win.
so crompton just "came out of his shell?" if it was that easy, why didn't he do this under fulmer/clawson/cutcliffe? if fulmer was coaching tennessee this season, there would have been a QB carousel after the florida game that probably would have resulted in another 5 win season.
the guy was 2nd in the SEC in TD passes. that doesn't "just happen."
kiffin stuck with crompton and his play improved as the season went on. to state flat out that "you can't count that as a reason" is just childish and stupid.
from a basic fundamental standpoint, the team had a better record this year than they did last year with largely the same team as last season. that's an accomplishment. they made it to a bowl game, which didn't happen last year.
generally speaking, the team appeared to play more fundamentally sound than last year. fewer fumbles, things like that.
there's the recruiting aspect and the comments that ruffled people's feathers. that i think kiffin was successful in.
tennessee routed georgia, hung with florida in a game where everybody expected them to be massacred, and almost beat one of the teams in the national title game.
it's the guy's first season. there is plenty here to build on.
