I get the argument against it but Lane screwed up and took his dream job that ended up being a nightmare.

He is one of the 5 best offensive minds in all of football.

He turned FAU around that went 3-9 last 3 years and they didn’t lose a conference game.

Kiffin would kill to beat Nick Saban and there aren’t many coaches that would relish that chance like Kiffin.

He’s grown up and sure he’s a risk but the reward if it works ends with him having a statue.

He took a dump on our traditions, our program and our fanbase. He’s a dbag and isn’t nearly as good of a Head coach as you think. Wanting him back makes you a sad pathetic fan. Sorry.

We don't need a new coach. We need a new governor, new board of trustees, new president of the University, New athletic director, and a new chancellor. Until all that sh*t happens, we'll continue to be a laughing stock.

We may end up hiring Tee. If we do, I guarantee he won't be given the resources to do the job competitively. He'll be trying to hire top staff while Haslam is handing out fist fulls of nickels to pay them with. Then if Tee happens to get a guy on the hook, it'll be vetoed at the eleventh hour by a Haslam stooge and Tee will just have to settle with some schmuck nobody's ever heard of.

With that being the case, your logic is flawed in being adamantly against a coach who has improved a moribund program like SMU.

My reasoning for being against him is because I don't think his style is physical enough to win in the SEC. I have been consistent with that. If you don't play defesne I don't want that coach. I have anti Norvell, kelly, frost and Morris.

Kiffin has so many red flags. He’s been fired three times during the season — twice in September (!) and once days before the national championship game (!). He makes enemies everywhere he goes, including Tennessee. Houston Nutt wiped the floor with him, as did Neuheisel, who now makes a living off of corny pre-game sideshows on CBS. He went 6-7 here, got half his team arrested, wrecked his Lexus, brought the NCAA to town and torched our program with his January exit — and now he’s hanging out in Florida trolling us on Twitter about it between interviews with Chris Low and Clay Travis. What a joke.

This same Media that is bashing us for how we reacted to the Schiano hiring, this same media would have brought up the Penn State stuff as soon as we hired him. It was a no win, which is why it made no sense.

Dust is already settled. Currie will not be fired with such an outlandish buyout

He's the AD for the foreseeable future. It's insane. The guy tried to sneak around and force Greg Schiano on us while working in cahoots with Jimmy Haslam and lying to other big boosters. And he's still going to be the guy in charge of all UT athletics moving forward. He will make more firing and hiring decisions.

Insane. Absolutely insane.

I am just so disappointed.

This is not my university. It’s a shell of its former self.

And to rebuild it feels exhausting and impossible.

Yuck.

There is one coach out there who is truly compatible with VolTwitter. There is one coach out there who loathes Nick Saban to the same depths we do as a fan base.

He would bring instant excitement and his story here would be a story of redemption both for him and, if successful, our football program.

I'm describing Lane Kiffin and it hurts me to admit everything I've stated above.

But seriously please hire Brohm if he's willing.

We’ll get a staff consisting of guys endorsed by Belichick and Meyer

Seriously, take Petrino. He's probably the best guy we can get right now and he'll win. The media is already excoriating us. So I say we Gaulden all of 'em and hire somebody who's going to whip this program back in shape. Nothing would please Petrino more than to win the SEC and shove it at everyone who ridiculed him. Doubt Tennessee will make a bold move... but we should.

How in the **** are we rattling off all these quasi potentials and ignoring Les Miles though? We would be his last chance and he is by far our best chance at a championship level coach.

If I am Currie I make him a basic deal and let him chew grass and whip ass. He could at least beat Vandy, UK and Mizzou.

You cannot possibly “revolt” against Schiano because of ethics and then trot out Petrino. Come on man, we’re already walking the plank in the court of public appeals.

I hated Kiffin at the time. I think he has grown up and I expect to be in the minority there and with my opinion.

But I am a sad pathetic fan for wanting Kiffin back? Come on Ron I have a different opinion. Come on man.
