Yeah, yeah guys, I know he is the biggest slimeball snake to ever set foot on Shields-Watkins Field. He put the knife in all of our backs, and I hate him for that and how he did it..no question! I wish him the worst!
BUT, that slimeball snake brought valuable characteristics to this program such as confidence, swagger and arrogance! Do you guys realize that Tennessee was the most talked about 5-7 team EVER?! In one year, that man had TN football back on the map! Yeah, we went a mediocre 7-6, but look at the results from some of those games. We had to play #12 Virginia Tech in the Peach Bowl which wasn't fair, so he really could have/should have went 8-5. Hell, if Cody doesn't block the FG he could have easily went 9-4! Kiffin is what WE NEEDED at the time...I thought it was the PERFECT hire! Just turned out to blow up in our faces...but who saw that coming?!
So, with all this being said, what are some of your thoughts on Kiffin? Did you like him and feel was the perfect guy for the job when he got hired? Did you like his swagger and Cali arrogance? Do you think if he had stayed we'd be relevant again winning 9 or 10 wins...making New Years Day and BSC bowl games?
I'll admit, It killed me when I found out he was leaving...total dagger. I enjoyed his only year in Knoxville. Yeah, he made some horrible decisions off the field, but that man was just what the Doctor ordered AT THAT TIME!:yes:
OP is right. I know all the fans who act like scorned bitter ex girlfriends will not agree. We would have got the same slap on the wrist from the NCAA if we had Kiffin. People want to talk about his players leaving. Most left because Dooley was a loser. We would have had Bray at qb , Aaron Douglass at Lt, Bryce Brown at rb with JH an Darick at wr. He would have pulled in top ten classes and gotten our D right. He did more in one year than DD in three.

Kiffin:
UT 2009/ Tied 2nd SEC East
USC 2010/ Tied 3rd PAC 10
USC 2011/ 1st PAC 12 South
USC 2012/ Tied 2nd PAC 12 South
2009 was UT's best record since 2007 and the best since he left. He also inherited a USC on probation thanks to Carrol's regime. I HATE the way he screwed us, but I wouldn't call him dumb or say he "can't coach". What I laid out can be verified without emotion or what if's, just the facts.
