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.

I liked his swagger and so did the players. Opposing coaches in the SEC hated him...because they knew he was going to make serious noise in the SEC. This being said....he would've had us buried in NCAA violations by now. The whole time he was here our compliance department was turning him in...which became annoying. On that topic...it seems the bigs boys (Bama,AU,FL, etc...). Their compliance dept. always seem to look the other way. Ever wonder why?? I'm not saying it's ok...but there is true to the statement "if you're not cheating you're not winning". It's sad...but there is a certain level of truth to it.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:

I agree with the OP. Ive always thought if we still had kiffin we would be winning around 10 games a season by now. He was the last coach to beat UGA and im pretty sure he won more SEC games in one season then we have in the last 3. No doubt he would have beat UF by now. What he did was wrong and what has happened since then he has deserved but i think we would be winning.
That being said...we will win with Butch when he gets his players here. Butch is better for the program then kiffin was and soon we'll be back on top.
