Good thing Tennessee didn’t hire Lane!

Mayfield transferred from Texas Tech to Oklahoma, he had to sit a year and lost a year of eligibility once he transferred within the conference, Texas Tech made a huge stink about it. He wasn't going to tranafer again and sit another year for 2015. Huepel was the QB coach and offense coordinator who had coached the #1 draft pick and Heisman winner in Bradford and the all time Oklahoma passing leader in Jones leading into the transfer year. Mayfield left TT in December then enrolled at Oklahoma and showed up at the football facility. Huepel found him walking with the other QBs. Stoops hadn't even met him yet. You're not smart if you don't believe Huepel and his massive success coaching QBs was a major factor in his choice of schools.

P.S Lincoln Riley was at East Carolina at the time and would be for another year.

I'm smart enough to know that Klingsbury and Riley both spent more time working with Mayfield than Heupel did. I also know that Riley was responsible for him winning the Heisman. Now you're trying to convince me that you know more about Mayfield than Mayfield knows about himself. That's beyond ludicrous but keep believing your BS!

Ole Miss beat the brakes off some pretty bad teams and everyone pumps them up. Then they play the big boys and get knocked back down to mediocrity.

I was honestly surprised at how they shut down Corral. Kid is genuinely talented. Ole Miss legitimately **** the bed.

He left Tennessee to go to Southern Cal which he was vocal about being his dream job. Given their penalties from Carroll era, 3-5 guys passed the job up. Add in the fact that Mike Hamilton wrote in a weak ass buyout number if Kiffin left, not sure why you are PMS’ing so hard 12 years later for the guy leaving for his dream job. And once again, you wouldn’t bat an eye if Tennessee was in USC’s position with a coach in the same situation.

And sorry to break it to you…. At the time, USC was a major upgrade over Tennessee at the time. Tennessee was a decade removed from the BCS as a whole. USC was ripping off BCS games left and right.

And the ex girl analogy is so overplayed. I’ve never seen people so happy to be miserable than actually risk being wrong.

People would rather lose TO Kiffin than win with him. Pretty comical. Just like they would when Currie was going after Mullen and then last year when Freeze’s name was being rumored given his bad record. Pure comedy from folks.

Freeze and Kiffin both have losing SEC records. No thanks

Kiff is a good coach and an elite football mind….and it’s really hard to dispute that from a “X’s and O’s” standpoint.

The thing is, a PROGRAM’S ceiling is set by the staff’s mind/strategy + team culture + raw talent.

My point is this: I think Kiff and Heup are both elite Offensive minds…….but I think Heups culture trumps what we’d have gotten from Kiff long term.

I was all for Kiffin coming back to Tennessee because I think the guy can coach BUT….after the silly “get your popcorn ready” and flipping the headset off and getting down 28-0 at half??? Nah I’m good. I’m never speaking his name on here again.

Been telling you people this since he walked out in the middle of the night! Never say his name again!! Clown show!

he put on a show before the game and $hit the bed after KO. All the social media crap is about recruiting. Nothing else. Some kids will buy it. Many won’t.

So somebody help me out. Last year Matt Corral went 21-28 365 2 TDs against Bama. OM put up 647 yards and loses by 2 TDs.

This year, with a more experienced Corral he went 21-29 213 1 TD. OM puts up 291 yards of offense and loses by 3 TDs.

So how does Kiffin perform worse against a worse Bama team? Also, why the huge drop in offensive production by Corral?

He's a capable offensive strategist and schemer.

I wouldn't call him a good coach. He doesn't understand character or leadership. Can't be a great coach without those skill sets.

I guess there are a few reasons to like Kiffin, but way more reasons to hate him. As an offensive coordinator, he can be very effective. Mostly because be doesn't have the responsibility of being the head coach. I would not be surprised if Saban only allowed kiffen to talk to the Qb.

I doubt the manning family will allow him to coach Arch Manning. Which also makes me wonder how he got the ole miss job. Did Archie Manning sign off on that hire? I bet Archie is a booster but I don't think he cares about that level of micromanaging.

As head coach, his team culture is complete garabage. I hoped for his sake that he matured a little bit but apparantly not yet. Outside of Tennessee and Florida Atlantic, his overall record is 29-16. No national or conference championships. Has left every team in a worse situation than when he started.

Kiffen will probably be favored in Neyland but I hope he finds a way to lose. Either way I wouldn't trade head coaches.

probably more to do with Bama’s D than Mississippi’s O.

Mississippi is good
Bama is on a different level (talent wise and probably development wise)

Alabama’s defense got better as the season progressed last year. They are simply much better “right now” than they were this time last year.

Could be last year there were limited fans allowed, so no noise and zero distractions.

Welp, he’s definitely a more mature punk I guess. But he’s still a punk.

Doesn’t make sense. That’s not a legit reason to be this much worse against a much weaker Bama.

Kiffin came within a blocked fg of beating a NC Bama team in his first year as UT coach. Since Bama is much weaker, are you saying the Vols will be beat Bama this year? Otherwise it doesn't make much sense if we don't.

Announcer: Last week on As Volnation Turns….

“Come back to us, Lane! Come back! *sob* *sob* We should’ve hired you when we had the chaaaance! Ughhh! I can’t do this anymore!”

This week, in the most shocking episode yet, the tables have turned in what some will call the wildest twist yet….

“We’ve got ourselves a ball coach now. I have never been more confident in my relationship with Coach Heupel. We don’t need Lane Kiffin and all his baggage. We’re too good for you, Lane! Bet you wish you hadn’t left TN now don’t ya?!?”


You thought that was crazy…


But… in three weeks….

The stakes are higher. The tension is greater. The emotion at its boiling point. Who will Volnation give it’s 2021 final rose to? Current ball coach Josh Heupel? Or former head UT bad boy Lane Kiffin?

You won’t want to miss this dramatic finale… that will keep playing out week after week until the end of time. Stay tuned.

Saban is light years ahead of Lane and Bama is much more talented. Last year was the aberration. Not sure how long Lane will be at Ole Miss but I doubt he ever beats Saban. Today's game wasn't even that close. Ole Miss got garbage time points. It was 35-0 and then 42-7 until late.

Ole Miss had a great, time consuming opening drive. If they score like the should there, it's probably not the blow out that ensued.
