VOLS OUT FOR KIFFIN REVENGE

As we wrote earlier, USC defensive end Malik Jackson has opted to use his Get Out of Troy Free card and is transferring to coach Lane Kiffin's previous school: Tennessee.

As ESPN SEC blogger Chris Low writes, this development is not being met favorably by Kiffin and the rest of his USC coaching staff, as they believe that the Tennessee coaching staff is targeting their guys in the hopes that they'll come on over to Rocky Top. Of course, one might argue that this is Vols coach Derek Dooley's way of getting back at Kiffin and recruiting coordinator Ed Orgeron, who reportedly told Tennessee commitments to not enroll at summer school immediately following Kiffin's departure, so that they could bring the recruits out to California with them.

Don't be surprised if the team in orange continues to make plays for some of the Trojans' available upperclassmen -- and for this feud to continue on for some time.

Malik is on Sports animal right now and he is not a great interviewee. IMO.

But he did say when asked if he knew UT fans love him for transferring from USC and he laughed and said "thats funny."

So now that they've been hammered by the AA and we've gotten one of their players, can we forget about the Trogans and focus on our squad?

Yeah he said Orgeron had some "choice" words for him when he left.

Also said Monte told him that he shouldn't want to come here.

Said that Dooley is more about the players and Kiffin is more business.

One last thing, he said he didn't tell the coaches at USC that he visited UT.

Yeah, this interview was earlier and the time difference doesn't help. At least he was nice enough to give the interview. Josh said that he woke him up.

Is he coming or just thinking about coming?

very entertaining. They will have issues of this nature across the board by the time this is over. I know they are in an appeal process and might very well have the load lightened, but I hope it buries the current staff.

I doubt they get the load lightened. NCAA says they considered TV ban. They almost have to uphold the penalties to save face. You can never really tell with the 'AA though.

I have a hard time seeing Orgeron even trying to keep his nose clean. I think he'll just go elsewhere.

i love this quote "They are saying DE,” Jackson said. “It doesn’t matter to me as long as I’m on the field"

I was wrong. I didn't think UT would get any USC players. I didn't see CDD making that move or see any Cali boys leaving for a chance to play in a bowl game. Should have known some USC players would go, given the number that left when CLK took over at UT. Would be nice to get an OL or two.
