Good thing Tennessee didn’t hire Lane!

[DERELICK_MY_VOLS]

Wow...Just wow.....

Do any of these posters realize Josh Heupel is 2-0 vs Lane Kiffin as a HC already? He beat him 56-36 in 2018 and 48-14 in 2019…then Kiffin left for Ole Miss. We hired the guy that has put up 104 points on mighty Kiffin to his 50 on him.

Was Lane bringing his hot wife this time? Nope. Do not want.

Tennessee’s pride has become laughable. Ole Miss sure is enjoyable to watch!!! Wonder how Tennessee would look right now if they’d just swallowed their pride and gone after him when they could have. Tennessee will unfortunately struggle for many more years.

Damn right it is. He is a punk. Made a name off his dad

 

[Flathead75]

We could have had Kiffin....................He is without a doubt in the top 5 coaches in the USA. But no, our fans did not want a good coach. So, we took the economy route !

Last I checked fans had no say in who was hired! He burned administration and that's why he wasn't considered. Fulmer wasn't about to hire him before Pruitt because he took Fulmer's job and Fulmer hated him. Fans had no say dude.

 

[Flathead75]

He could. But Kiffin would’ve already had us winning by now and we could’ve eliminated the wasted years under Pruitt. If wanting to be successful is “pathetic” then I guess I’m the worst offender.

Again, Fulmer was never going to hire the guy that took his job from him. Instead we get a carbon copy of him, a Defensive minded guy just like him.

 

[SGMVols]

I doubt he would make the same mistake twice.

If he had left Ole Miss for UT, he would’ve made the same mistake twice. The mistake of leaving a place after one year that gave you a power 5 HC opportunity when no one else did.

We are a .500 football program right now and making 0 strides to change that. I haven't watched a game all year (live) but have caught highlights and a couple of minutes of re runs and don't plan on watching or going to a game anytime soon. My give a damn is busted.

 

[KptVFL]

I feel much better about that loss, since the oddsmakers said we were SUPPOSED TO LOSE TO PITT!
GBO??

I don't feel good about the loss and know we had the chance to win it. Made too many mistakes. I DO feel good that we didn't quit. Anyone that follows lines knows it would have been 7 if played at Pitt. And yes, GBO!

Should be an easy win for Heupel this year.
Unless, by some crazy chance, the relative state of those two programs was drastically different when the two coaches took over. UCF didn’t have an undefeated season or anything like that right before then, right?

Exactly people pointing out UCF over FAU. Like people dont understand the difference between a team that was just outside of a playoff birth next team playing a commuter school. Lol

UCF and FAU are no where close to same program levels….. that’s like comparing Alabama to Vandy

The biggest beatdown happened in Lane's 3rd year and Huepel's second. UCF beat them down worse than Ohio State did a couple of weeks before and that was an 11 win FAU team for Lane. Frost's 13-0 team was also loaded with juniors and seniors who were gone by the time that game happened. Frost had 1 full recruiting class at UCF plus one partial when he arrived, Huepel's classes were all higher ranked than Frost's. The UCF QB in the FAU game was a true freshman starting his second game. He went on to set the school record for a freshman QB.

Butch Jones was actually way better than Brian Kelly -VN in 2013.

You children seem to forget that between Kiffin and Orgeron, the NCAA was about to occupy a suite of offices in the UTAD just to handle the football violations. The ONLY redeeming factor for the Kiffin experiment was Monte.

No way in hell UT was going to bring his sorry a** back.

Swear to God, you people sound like effing battered wives who refuse to prosecute the scumbag because, "But he said he loves me (sob) and he promised (sob) not to beat me no more!"

Fulmer and his chosen one have us in far worse trouble than Kiffin ever faced.

 

[Fightmaker]

Textbook definition of insanity....... Too many spiteful knuckleheads who would rather get beat by coaches than potentially look at them being our coach.....

I truly believe there is a large portion of the fan base here that would gladly take a beat down from Kiffin this year than the thought of him coaching here again....

I truly believe that you hope he beats us come October.

 

[West Vol]

O/U on the number of times the broadcast mentions him being our former head coach is starting 50.

Don’t you know? All that matters is us showing our undying allegiance to our boosters by turning out to watch every week no matter what crap they give us and how contemptuously they treat this football program.

 

[lifeisdeep]

Lane had a job here. The reason Lane Kiffin is not the coach at the University of Tennessee was Lane Kiffin’s decision. No one else’s.

Yeah we really showed him. I’m sure he cries every night while building a real football team while we are building...something else.

 

[JMSqb11]

Not at all. I want us to go Bowling and Ole Miss game is one of 4 SEC games we need to get 2 wins.

Will I be surprised if he beats us? Of course not.

Oh so if Kiffin beats Heupel this year the state of the program….which is way worse than Ole Miss last season matters then, right? But it won’t with y’all if he does.
I’ve never seen more hate for a guy that has coached 3 games and a couple of blown TD passes from being 3-0.

Don't blame me.

I said openly to re-hire him 3 years ago.

Doug Dickey said the biggest mistake he ever made was leaving Tennessee. Wished he had had an offer to come back.

 

[VolArmy74]

The situations aren't even close to the same. Huepel has done more in football than Butch ever will. It's also laughable to compare Kelly and Frost. Frost caught lightning in a bottle with players he didn't recruit and killed it one season. Otherwise he has 4 losing seasons as a head coach and is probably heading for #5 now. Frost is small school Gene Chizk right now.

 

[ReelfootVol]

Actually, there’s a lot of doubt about him being a top 5 coach.
Saban
Mullen
Riley
Day
Fisher
Franklin

I’ll stop there as that’s an easy 7 that easily could be argued are better than Lane. There are others too. Lane is a career 8-4 coach people. Why in the world do you all hype him up so much? He’s a great offensive coordinator but a decent to good HC. His record isn’t even as good as Mahlzahn and Gus also has a SEC Championship to his name so you could argue Lane isn’t as good as him.

-----------------Still stand by what I said ! Kiffin is top five easily in my opinion !!!!

 

[Electric Orange]

The kid is a sophomore. Have you ever played ball at a highly competitive level other than city league? Your argument is unfounded and ill advised sir. Do you go to practice? Do you see the reps the kid gets? All I said was he should have been allowed to run with the ones. He ran with the ones last year but AS A FRESHMAN. He still wasn't terrible but you make him out to be a joke.

I'll say this and I mean this, HB on his worst day has more talent than you ever will AT anything except maybe forming an opinion on something you don't have a clue about. As I said in a previous post NAME ONE SOURCE that says HB doesn't have a strong arm. It's whether you wanted Lane, Dooley, Jones, or Pruitt . It's your opinion and as is mine. I respect yours please don't be a tool and disrespect mine also.

That comment didn't seem like it intended to show respect. Seemed snarky.
