Really? What did you think of his time with the Raiders?
I'm hearing Leach/Gruden/Patterson/Muschamp/Harbaugh - Didn't see any of the good UTK sources over at the SEC board, but I think there's a news conference very soon. We may find more out then.
A lot of Tenn fans seem to be relieved, except for recruiting. I also just read that SEC coaches have been giving him the cold shoulder, and won't talk to him unless they have to.
Wasn't Kiffin at USC when the supposed violations went down in the first place??
This stinks for Tenn, although I think it'll be good for them in the long run. Yet another coach bailing, and this right after early signers start showing up at school and can't back out of their commitment. This is another reason for me to dislike the guy.

I thought he did a good job with what he had, they got better, imo. Even though it didn't always show up in the win column. They were more compe ive under kiffin than they had been.
Great pickup by USCI'm a big fan of Kiffin and think he will be an extremely good head coach for the next 30 years in college and the NFL. It was obvious he had the Raiders in the right direction before the Crypt Keeper fired him, and it is obvious he had Tennessee headed in the right direction.
USC will have very little dropoff, mainly because I doubt the Reggie Bush storm will create much of a problem as far as sanctions go. After what happened to SMU, the NCAA will never give a team the death penalty or anything close to it ever again.
Aloha Westwood, welcome back Norm Chow...
Honestly, USC's future is looking brighter than it did with Carroll.
Interesting hire. Lane also had possible violations at Tennessee so I guess if he's going to have to deal with it regardless, might as well be where he's going to feel more comfortable and at home.
It's like an all star cast...I'm blown away. ...yeah.
What did he do wrong? The Raiders had next to no talent in 2007.
5 years of hoping, Jam. Worry about Rich Rodriguez. We'll deal with Lane..
But they were still horrible, and Lane blamed everything on everybody else. I understand he was a part of the most dysfunctional organization in the NFL, but there was never any accountability during his regime.
Point is, big messes and turmoil have followed this guy since he left USC. He's now burned both head coaching bridges behind him. Maybe he's learned something from all this, I dunno. But I doubt it.
Definitely a good thing for recruiting. Prater will probably stay now. They're probably back in it for Jeffcoat too.
Monte will turn that defense into something special. He did some amazing things this year with an understaffed defense at UTK.
Lane will probably be okay since he has such a strong staff around him. But the guy has got to learn use his mouth sparingly.
USC is really looking good, I agree.
I might have to change my pants after thinking about today.
Interesting hire. He's a cheater so I guess he fits USC's culture.
Cool. I hear Prater is enrolling Monday.
Some UTK fans are mumbling that he may of left because of possible recruiting violations. Probably rumors
he was originally supposed to yesterday, has that changed to next week?
It's hard to be held accountable when some senile 80-something guy is calling all the shots and forcing your hand with every decision.
From what I saw, Kiffin did the best he could with what he had, he did the best he could considering who his boss was, and the Raiders were making improvements the entire time he was there.
You can keep your Brad Childress lookin' Mike Riley...we'll take Kiffin and Chow.
Based on his short stint at Tennessee, I doubt it.
Getting Chow back is the bigger hire for USC.
I agree. It means Lane won't be calling plays, and that's a good thing.
That staff is very, very good. Chow running the O and Monte running the D is a formidable combo.
Well, according to some Vol fans on the SEC board, there are 200 students outside the Tenn athletic center chanting " You Kiffin" right now.
Wow touchy. Just expressing an opinion man. I wasn't even bashing.5 years of hoping, Jam. Worry about Rich Rodriguez. We'll deal with Lane.
But it's cool.
Rumors, but I'm hearing cops have broken out the tear gas in Knoxville. Apparently Vol students either are rioting or are close to it.
This awesome. Norm Chau as our OC and Monte as Defensive. Lane Kiffin knows what to expect down here in LA so this is a great fit
