the top rated player in the country that year was bryce brown....
i thinks that whats we talking bout here?
I think its going to be interesting to see what Pat Hayden does if Kiffin drops his remaining games to UCLA and Notre Dame, which is very possible.
We are lucky that we are not looking at a lot more than we have already gotten. We were on the road to some pretty stiff penalties similar to what Alabama got in the early 2000's. Some of you need to quit with the Kiffin grumbling and at least thank Dooley that he ran a clean program. Had Kiffin stayed another year Orgeron and Garza would have both been encouraged to look around. Orgeron was already looking around. There was also a good change that Chaney was looking to head back to the NFL. Eddie Gran had already left due to Kiffin's shenanigans so the staff Kiffin originally came with would have been a shell of its original self.
probably, he brought bray, hunter, brown, jj and a slew of other players and even though he was a flop palardy was mentioned as being the top kicking prospect out of highschool in another thread, i know dooley has brought some jr college transfers in though.

All Kiffin guys off top of head....that probably half of them
It was a combo effort. Dools never would have landed hunter if Willie Mack hadn't spent many an hour wearing a path to his front door.
I'll agree with that, but Hunter committed 5 days after Dooley became the head coach. I find it odd that LSU was the leader until 5 days after Dooley is hired.
Now, I'm not defending Dooley, just giving credit where credit is due.
Yeah, I agree. But as I recall (and I may be wrong), Willie Mack worked with Dooley for the first week or so. Is that correct?
...what in the world happened to Al in that picture? Looks like one of his lineman was told the wrong thing about his play ability & cold cocked Al pretty good. lol:
I know this may sound like a likely story, but my girlfriend's best friend was neighbors with the kiffins. her parents took us over there to meet them, and layla came to the door with baby in arms. one thing led to another and next thing I know I have that damn baby in my arms. I was the only guy there, so they were trying to pick on me
