Gameday's thoughts on Lane Kiffin Hire

[mikeylee2001]

Lane has NO people skills when recruiting. He's always on his fucking cell.

[mnomoto1989]

@mikeylee2001 Lane Kiffin has no people skills when recruiting? How do you know that? Are you a blue-chip highschool recruit who has been recruited by Lane? Do you have first-hand experience of this? Otherwise, how could you make such an irresponsible, ignorant statement?

Also, if what you're saying is true, why does Lane continue to reel in amazing recruiting class year in and year out?

I feel as if you're either a Tennessee fan or a USC hater, or both.

[sacredrage]

@mikeylee2001

His recruiting classes seem to indicate otherwise.

[Fultonfalcons86]

well thank god they got rid of mike hamilton he was the main reason most of this crap that has given our university a black eye

[tninbredretard]

lame kiffin takes it up his shit hole from monty.

[mtsudude24]

no shit...Instead of responding u need to think about what i just wrote dumbass!I was sayin that you need to listen to how passionate Peyton is about Fulmer, this is not something that Someone would say about Kiffin!!

[JKM070]

We are the Champions ... Roll Tide Roll ...

[mtsudude24]

why are u on a vols video??

[mtsudude24]

lol u ya u wanna take this outside??ya didnt be such a dick just because u won the national championship!!

[JKM070]

No ' that is not me. Just here to talk, have fun and make friends ... That's all ... My post went everywhere, all over the USA, not just Tennessee. Have a Good Day ...

[mtsudude24]

I was jokin cuz most ppl on this thing have a attitude and want to argue so I just fell in !!Well take it easy !

[JKM070]

We are cool ... Have a Great Weekend ...

[thessandman]

woops!!!

[ltorres305]

lol ,, how does lane kiffin look now..

[dan26ntn]

Looking back to the time this video was shot....I'd say that Lane Kiffin hire is turning out pretty damn good. They lost to the teams that outclassed them talent wise in 09..but have shown that all they need is to get those Jamal Lewis, Peerless Price, Joey Kent ,etc...type players and they will be really hard to beat. Wait till Monte Kiffin gets ahold of a few Leonard Little's and Al Wilson's .

[whapstick36]

the only reason that Lane Kiffin has the job is because of his pa Monte. Nobody would let this guy talk so much shit and be such a little bitch without having a good blood line. He better win some games this year or good bye. Hey Notre Dame will probably be calling....

[UTbuckeye93]

ok i am a tennessee fan, but lane kiffin really shouldnt have said "beating florida next year". it just wasnt smart, even though i would love to have that happen.

[andy112382]

Actually, the full quote ends with him saying that it was Hamiltons idea to say that, it has been a while since that was said, but I am pretty sure that is accurate.

[SamDaddy60420]

chill out man hes generated mad electricity in the fan basis and the program, electricity that has not been around for a few years.

[UTbuckeye93]

actually i was calm when i wrote that lol, but i know hes brought better energy to the program, but we cant beat florida this year, there way too good. of course if we played every game like we did today we would beat them lol

[SamDaddy60420]

yeah thats true the vols looked good against wku but ucla will be the first real test. i think we got a shot at florida, and you're absolutely right, if we all had the same doubtful hesitant attitude toward the florida game as you do, we won't beat them.

[cjh134414]

u better start praying after his little remark about urban meyer, kiffin just put a target on his own head and meyer is looking to make a statement hes gunna be relentless this game

[tnfc11]

did anyone watch the UF-UGA game this past year? remember how meyer said he would get back at richt? im pretty sure mark richt was feeling too good when meyer called those timeouts with under a minute left.

urban meyer has kiffin down on his list. in a way, i feel sorry for the guy.

[johnny2phatty]

...but gators run the score up every year...

[ascender555]

Like any UT fan, I'll be thrilled if the Vols can beat Florida this year. Forget sweeping the SEC...just beat the Gators and that's all that matters to most of us right now...but even if we lose, what I want to see this year from this program is a better effort. It's one thing to lose, another to lose poorly as we've been doing. Let's not beat ourselves for a change. Focus on fundamentals. When we learn to not fumble, to catch, and to tackle, we can focus on SEC or National titles....

[jmd19800891]

nick saban and urban meyer will destroy this guy- meyer will hang 70 on him next year

[UTVolCountry89]

GO VOLS!!!!!!

[pclarks235]

SIGH, everyone hates a winner.

[presleyinnes]

5-15 is a winner?

[ut4life05]

5-15?

[Sierra688]

I guess they don't teach reading on 'Rocky Top.'

[HolySnap]

They don't teach reading "on" Rocky Top? Apparently, they don't teach grammar at whatever shit hole you go to.

Correct syntax is "at" instead of "on" FYI... Dumbfuck

[mtsudude24]

who cares this is youtube and were football fans we dont need no glammar!! haha

[rupdaddy]

Or maybe you could learn the actual lyrics to Rocky Top, which happen to include the prepostion "on" instead of "at." I'm sure you will be hearing the song a lot more over the next few months, so it won't matter anyway cooterlips.

[ut4life05]

Ok. Since when is an NFL record matter at all in college. Remember that guy Nick Saban. Yeah what was his NFL Record. Oh yeah, and Steve Spurrier.

[YouSomeGatorBait]

nick saban and steve spurrier both have a national championship as head coaches in college football.. lane kiffin didnt even come close to getting over 500 in the nfl

[ut4life05]

You try and go coach the Oakland Raiders and see if you can even get one win out of them. It is not Lane Kiffin's fault that Al Davis completely destroyed that franchise. Lane Kiffin had to use what he handed. Now he gets to choose who he plays with. We will see what happens.

[YouSomeGatorBait]

Ok first of all... when a owner puts you on the hot seat, you dont go back at him on espn. you dont fucking do that if you wanna keep you job. and not only that... He called out Urban Meyer for cheating in recruiting........ but yet wait a minute how many recruiting violations does he have already ???? yeah

[ut4life05]

Ok. First off, Al Davis is fucking crazy. I would call him out. Who wants to work for someone like that? Do you?? I wouldn't. Maybe he wanted to get fired. I would not blame him one bit. Secondly, he apologized for saying that about Urban. He said he was completely in the wrong saying that. Finally he has NO MAJOR recruiting violations. He has minor violations but EVERY college has minor violations in recruiting.

[YouSomeGatorBait]

the only reason why he apolligized was becuase the SEC MADE HIM apolligize he isnt fucking sorry for what he said what he said is how he felt.. i seen the video any one who watches that video knows for a fact he ment what he said, hes a punk who thinks he gonna come in and fucking sweep the SEC right off the bat.. not gonna fucking happen buddy.

[ut4life05]

He will not come in and sweep up the SEC right now. You are very correct right there. Give him a few years and he will be there. Secondly, he said that at a Tennessee football fund-raiser trying to fire up the crowd. It was not meant to be heard outside of that conference.

[crompton4heisman]

how many does florida have? plus 25 arrests...

[Suckeyedontcry]

crompton for heisman? How about he just gets a starting job 1st... what a joke.

[crompton4heisman]

indeed. this name was certainly poor forsight on my part.

[R8erNation636]

Yeah, wait and see until Meyer runs the score up after Lane forgot to shut his mouth.

[R8erNation636]

Don't forget Lou Holtz and Bobby Petrino!

[chuaner]

@ut4life05 saban actually did an OK job at dolphins. When he left, dophins went 2-14 while he was there that was 9-7.

[ProZack91488]

@ut4life05 Yep.... Nick Saban and Steve Spurrier great in college, not so good in the NFL. Lane Kiffin sucks at both. I'm still waiting on him to sing Rockytop after he beats Florida like he said he would.

[Sierra688]

The Tennessee 'necks are so pathetic believing that this kid who owes his career to the sterling reputation of his father is going to get them back in the game against Florida and Alabama. Satan and Meyer are going to eat this kid for breakfast. You should've hired a real football coach when you had a chance. Kiffin sets the program back five years.

[codyjordan16]

just shut up dude,you dont even know what your talking about,use proper grammer before you try to insult the guy that recruited the number 1 recruit in the NATION

[radio187]

"grammer." Back to school, you mistake of Appalachia.

[radio187]

Kiffin was a terrible hire, and it shows how desperate Tennessee was. Apparently no one decent wanted the job. It's truly amazing that Tennessee was able to bring in someone who is more hated around the SEC than even Fulmer.
