Johnny Majors LOVES... Kiffin???

[goldvol]

Lane Kiffin's USC bio features praise from Johnny Majors, Nigel Mitchell-Thornton » GoVolsXtra

From the link, Majors gives Kiffin an endorsment in a USC media pamphlet. "I believe he’s a very good football coach. He’s very aggressive and well-organized. He’s demanding and his staff attacked recruiting very aggressively.”

Anyone know if this was recent, or just an old quote from his time at Tennessee?

:crossfingers: with this

Also, I found it HYSTERICAL that a former Tennessee "player" (Nigel Mitchell-Thornton) also gave Kiffin an endorsement! He must be really scraping the bottom of the barrel to get a player of whom no one has heard to say something good about your coaching!

It's probably the endorsement he gave when Kiffin was first hired here.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I was hoping it wasn't a recent endorsment.

Those are all subjective or outright accurate.

No hate for Kiffin

I betcha Jonathan Crompton has high praise for Kiffin.

Like Kiffin or not, he did an exceptional coaching job with JC. If not for Kiffin, JC would not have been drafted by the Chargers or playing for the Edmonton Eskimos. Fulmer appeared to have given up on him.

Nigel Mitchell-Thorton????? Seriously? Did he ever play a down of football here?

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Majors endorsed him when he got here. He also endorsed Dooley, and now Jones.

Pretty sure Majors would endorse any football HC not named Phil Fulmer.

Johnny should not drink before 7.00am.

I thought about it....NO!!

A couple of years ago, I thought Lane was a good coach; however, his coaching performance last year at USC was atrocious. USC had too many good players to finish the season the way they did. You should be able to roll out of bed and win 9 games with the caliber of athletes they are able to sign at USC. If he doesn't win 9 this year, the axe will soon follow. Kiffin is slightly above average at best and USC can do better.

He got dirt on his helmet once.

Of whom no one has heard?? Really?? He played in almost every game in 2009, 2010 and 2011.

And I hate Kiffin. My observation tells me he's a horrible coach. BUT our own, beloved Eric Berry has been known to give Kiff some pretty high praises too.

Johnny loves him because he took Phil's place. It could have been Kim Jong Il and Majors would have given him a ringing endorsement.

There's basketball

Yeah, but they suck. BTW your avatar makes me smile, thanks.

Two things I agree with Al Davis on: 1) "Just win Baby!" 2) lane kiffin isn't a good coach.

Raiders suck though!: Go Titan's, Broncos & Cowboys...in that order.

 

[jps2194]

Anything to take a shot at Fulmer!!

 

[Wood Man]

While Johnny has, indeed, backed all three of our coaches since that wonderful day that his pal Phillip got s%$#canned (thank you Mike Hamilton forever), I think his support for Butch and Lane was more sincere and genuine than his feelings toward Dooley.

Kiffin could have and would have won big here had he stayed and UT not be put on probation. He put more life back in the program than we'd had in some time and the players played all out for him. It is what it is.
