Kiffin’s another glorified used car salesman. He would throw his mother under the bus for a 5 star recruit. Hatred seems to follow Kiffin wherever he goes. Orgeron was the significant loss, considered one of the top recruiters in the country.

From the Tennessee Legislature, which traditionally gives an end-of-season vote of thanks to the UT coach for his services:

“Republican House Speaker Kent Williams of Elizabethton on Wednesday asked members of the chamber to hold a voice vote on whether to congratulate Lane Kiffin for his year of service in charge of the Volunteers.

The response? A unanimous: “No!”"

Looks like the Tennessee legislature has weighed in, deciding to axe their traditional end-of-season congratulatory message to the coach.

The response? A unanimous: “No!”

Hey Vol fans in the long run you guys will be better off without this nutt ball. If any of your recruits leave and follow Lame Kiffin. They deserve to fail at USC with him.
As an Auburn fan I know how this kind of thing feels ie: Terry Bowden in ‘98 and last year Tommy Tuberville. But we have a great coach and a great staff. You’ll get the same soon enough. Good luck and keep your heads up. And bama fans layoff you’ve been there before and you could be there again if Saban was to leave you. Show some class - this is terrible what Kiffin did these players and Vol fans. In the end we are all SEC family.
War Eagle!

Has got to be getting pretty close for the Jon Gruden speculation to begin, I guess the big orange Loomis Fargo truck should be getting gassed up to roll up to someones door………..

“If Orgeron is already contact Tenn commits, isn’t there a violation brewing here?”

Technically no since school hasn’t started.

At a minimum this is very unethical.

not sure what you’re talking about Bruce. As a UT alum, we loved the energy Lane brought to the university. its a total douche move on his part, but we’re pissed he’s leaving. A good thing was starting. recruits were on their way.

I think losing Meyer was just too much for him.
