🏈 This just keeps getting better; NEW material on Kiffin

[imported_porkchop]

You guys aren't going to believe this. :lol:

Had he not opened his mouth last week, I dare say that no one would have seen or cared about this article. It's just the irony of it all, ya know?

UT/Kiffin Turn Themselves In For Violations

 

[Guest]

Interesting indeed. :shock:

I had heard about a month or so ago about a simulated "game atmosphere" at UT during recruiting visits and that if that did happen, that is was a violation, albeit it minor. Seems the faux presser and other shenanigans is the norm for ole Lame Kittin. Daddy needs to whisper in lil boys ear and tell him this ain't the pro's and it ain't Oakland.

Yeah, this is apparently the incident in question. A few weeks old, but it's being put on spin cycle because of Kiffin's actions within the last week. At this point, anything the media can find and use, they will.

He's in for a hard time, I'm telling you. If he doesn't do himself in, Meyer and Saban, and well....pretty much every other SEC coach will.

 

[Guest]

Yup but we do it where it counts, on the scoreboard.

After seeing what you wrote in the other thread, you may very well have a point. Kind of hard say his daddy needs to tell him better when big Kiffin is no role model.

Tennessee self-reports recruiting violations

http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news?slug=ap-tennessee-recruiting&prov=ap&type=lgns

"In letters to the NCAA and SEC, the Tennessee athletic department said the secondary violations occurred in January. One violation occurred when nine prospects on an official visit to the school participated in a mock press conference at Neyland Stadium’s media center.

Another violation occurred when a fog machine was used as a recruit entered the field at Neyland Stadium during his official visit on Jan. 9."

It takes a lot to embarass Vol fans. The whole bogus academic stuff that Linda Benzel-Myers exposed didn't embarass them.

Wow I can't wait to hear Finebaum today. He's going to tee off on Kiffin.

 

[Guest]

This is almost as good as hearing "It won't be long before Chizik has Aubrun at the top again." Had some real interesting conversations this week with Barn faithful.

Is there a pod cast for his shows, so I can here them out in Nantucket?

 

[Guest]

Don't know about a podcast, but you can listen on finebaum.com.

 

[imported_porkchop]

Yeah, iTunes carries podcasts and Finebaum is one of them. They're free to download. Just get iTunes (if you don't have it already) and then subscribe to Finebaum. You can download episodes daily.

I would be comment, but Porter told me I am not allowed to be happy over this.

 

[Swamptick]

That is awesome!

Didn't Alannis Morrisette sing about this at some point?

Did he flip over your golf cart, pull you through the car windshield, or throw a huge boulder at your boat?

CBS tees off:

Kiffin got it wrong when he gloated about stealing Florida commitment Nu'Keese Richardson, noting Meyer had called Richardson's cell phone while the kid was visiting Tennessee. "Just so you know," Kiffin told the crowd, "you can't call a recruit (when he's) on another campus. I love the fact that Urban had to cheat and still didn't get him."

The crowd roared, because that's what large groups of stupid people do when given the chance. They roar. And they were wrong, because Kiffin was wrong. Meyer didn't "cheat." The rule Kiffin cited? It doesn't exist. The SEC reprimanded Kiffin for being a buffoon, and Kiffin issued a lame apology that began: "If I offended ..."

If you offended?

Bad accusation. Bad apology. Big shock? Nope. Kiffin's a dope. Tennessee hasn't gotten the memo yet, but it will. The SEC doesn't lie. Coach a few years in that league, and you are what you are. If you're a great coach, you'll win games and maybe even a conference or national championship. If you're an average coach, you'll hang around a few years before getting the boot. And if you're an idiot, well, you're screwed.

Kiffin's screwed. This episode proves it. Because you don't tattletale on another coach for cheating, and do it in a setting as public as a gathering of almost 1,000 boosters, unless you're right. And unless you know you're right. A great coach definitely would know if he's right. An average coach probably would know. An idiot coach? He doesn't even know how he got his job in the first place. That's Kiffin. He literally doesn't understand why he is who he is.

And that's why Lane Kiffin was the wrong guy to try what he tried. When you're born on third base and fool yourself into thinking you've hit a triple, you lack the status to call out the biggest, baddest coach on your block. That's why this whole thing backfired on Kiffin. Because he was the wrong guy.

I liked the Rural Kiffin reference. :wink:

 

[Guest]

Pretty funny. ^^

It's even better after reading his Kiffin Phenom article. He was right frmo the assumption. We're all laughing now. :lol:

UT would of been better off to keep Fulmer. I hated the guy but he is more of a coach than Kiffin is ever going to be. I understand them wanting change but what they got was chump change.

McKiffin

What a idiot. We thought we was having fun with Phat
Phil and this walking punch-line shows up. He needs
to have his on reality show, we could call it
McKiffinisms............

I know it does not fit in as neatly here given that Urban Meyer is not as endeared to Alabama fans as he is to UF fans, but there is a move afoot on a UF site to make it SOP to refer to Lane Kiffin as "'Rural' Kiffin" since Kiffin is the exact opposite of 'Urban' Meyer.

Some national columnist made the suggestion and it has really taken off in Gatorland.

I have noticed that leaders of a political based organization (or something that requires an emotional attachment from its followers) cannot survive under two conditions.

First, if his own people are apathetic. When his people just do not care and all passion is lost, the leader's time is short. (Oddly enough a leader can survive when his own people are angry at him because passion still exist, which means hope still exist; so the leader has a chance to find something to turn the spark of anger to support. When a spark that was once burning brightly is extinguished, the only thing that can save the leader is an external factor.)

Think our situation with Mark Gottfried.

Second, when his rivals or opponents see nothing but comedy in him. When your opponents are reduced to seeing you as a cartoon and not a threat, it is hard for a leader to rally his own troops.

'Rural' is rapidly approaching the point of critical mass where the second point could spell his doom. The UT Spring Game better be sharp and crisp or apathy could set in quick. And NO leader can survive when both conditions are present.
