Lane Kiffin's 'dream job' will pay him $4 million. For ... what, again?

Dooley did fine to land those guys, but I still don't think he's able to get them without Orgeron breathing down their necks all year long prior to his departure.

Sounds like Orgeron breathing down his neck was doing the opposite.Same thing that happened with Marlon Brown last year.If i remember correctly his grandmother didn't like Orgeron or Kiffin.

Shows how desperate they were in my opinion.

4 million to a guy who has not proved a thing, who is already 0-1 as a head coach in the PAC-10, who is classless and would drop them like yesterdays garbage if the league comes calling.

I'm not so sure about that. He has big time recruiting experience from recruiting at LSU. But, I guess we won't know how well he can recruit on his own until he brings in this class.

I'm sure he's a good recruiter, but he's not getting guys of Da'Rick Rogers and Justin Hunter's caliber with just two weeks to work.

Im pretty sure Stone said there is no way on earth he would be here if Kiffin was still here.Said he had no interest in UT till Kiffin left.

James Stone's high school coach, who behaved rather shadily throughout the entire recruitment, said something to that effect. The coach just so happens to be a former Georgia Bulldog and is well-known to not like UT. Crazy how he likes Dooley for some reason. He also abruptly resigned not long after NSD.

In response to the other thread started on the Vols board about going to USC for double the salary, Hamilton did offer to cover the difference from what I know.

$4 million in Los Angeles = $2 million in Knoxville when adjusted for cost of living, and taking into account the fact that CA has a state income tax of 10.3% on top of federal taxes... and they're only going to keep punishing wealthy people like Kiffin more and more because of their massive budget problems. And once Obama's income tax hikes take effect, Kiffin will have over 50% of his income being taken away by the government.

This is a very sorry argument you argue all of the time.

Dooley's team last year was practically decimated with injuries. First and second string injuries. Leaving him with inexperienced one and two star freshman getting playing time they never should have gotten.

Dooley is trash. Period.

Nick Saban lost to Louisiana-Monroe in his first year at Alabama. Clearly, that was a sign he was going to fail. Oops, never mind.

So what is your arguement. It's o.k. for Kiffin to lose to inferior competition at Tennessee, but Dooley sucks because he MAY have lost to some inferior teams at La Tech.

Year 1 is the rebuilding year. Saban has explicitly stated more than once that his first year the W-L record is meaningless as he is focused on building for years two and three. That line of thinking leads to a perceived difference between Kiffin's year 1 losses and Dooley's year 3 losses.

At any rate, I don't really feel like any of the teams Kiffin lost to were a whole lot below UT on the talent scale.

Let's give Kiffin credit for everything that happened after he left. He is the greatest coach ever. How could he leave us:cray: All of the trolls have arrived.

There are a lot of differences with UT and La Tech. No matter how great of a coach they have, they will never be able to recruit anything close to top rate players. UT has the potential to get any player in the country. Our facilities are as good or better than anybody in the country.

You're right, I'm sure Kiffin recruiting James Stone for over a year had zero impact on his eventual decision to sign with the Vols.

No. I mean Dooley and the mindless sheep who are trying to pass this historically awful hire off as anything but a disaster are trash. Is that simple enough for you to understand or do I need to dumb it down more for you?

You're acting as if Louisiana Tech is playing against SEC competition. They aren't getting anything close to top rate players, agreed. No one they play is, either.

From everything I saw, it sounded like Stone hated everything about Kiffin and Ogre. He definitly had some impact before he left. If he had of gone sooner, Stone probably would have committed before NSD.

Why interject logic when conversing with the sheep? They can't understand we hired a guy who failed miserably at a place where an imbecile like Gary Crowton won. Why would you expect them to grasp simple concepts?

The way I see things, it can't be worse than the Kiffin hire. If Hamilton deserved any hatred, it was for that. THe guy has no more of a resime than Dooley, plus he is a prick. It's a little early to call the hire a disaster. Let's wait until at least the end of the first game for that.

There is no question, none of the teams they play has the athletes Tennessee has. A lot of them get better talent that La Tech though. That program will never be anything above below average at best.
