not sayin they can't do it, but the cards are severely stacked against the Vols right now

even if they land a big fish, the way recruiting is in the SEC, they are about to take an ass raping on signing day

oh yeah, they are fucked recruiting wise, so many out of state players that had no tie to Tennessee, just to the coaches/other recruits, they are all fucking gone now, top 5 class to shit instantly

They are breaking into coverage on all three stations here in Knoxville every 30 minutes to break the news. They are having round table discussions on the news, radio call in shows are ringing off the hook. Everyone around town is just in complete shock.

Quote :

"Instead of gearing up to follow what most Tennessee fans hoped would be a frantic and satisfying close to recruiting season, Vol fans were thrown into a state of shock Tuesday night with the news that Lane Kiffin was exiting Knoxville after one year on the job to take over the USC program. Early enrollees like Brandon Willis could look elsewhere. Kiffin's desire to return to Los Angeles were he was a part of Pete Carroll's staff that built the Trojans into a dominant force in college football over the last decade was hardly surprising. However the timing of his departure from Knoxville could hardly be worse. With National Signing Day just over three weeks away, the effects of Kiffin's departure are expected to be potentially disastrous for a Tennessee recruiting class that currently consists of 22 verbal commitments and ranks No. 6 nationally. Additionally, the Vols had 10 members of that signing class move onto campus this week ready to begin classes on Wednesday as early enrollees. Early efforts on our part to get contact commitments and early enrollees suggest that holding on to any significant chunk of the class is going to be an uphill struggle for the new head coach. As long as they have not attended classes, the early enrollees can leave with no penalty. That does not appear to be the case for the three players - Tyler Bray, Matt Milton and Channing Fugate--who came to Knoxville during Christmas break and took part in bowl practice. The Vols' class had just gotten a large boost this weekend when Brandon Willis, one of those early enrollees--switched his commitment back to Tennessee during an announcement at the Army All-American Bowl. Tennessee also got a commitment from Texas defensive back Ahmad Dixon last week in San Antonio. Holding on to either of those new commitments looks doubtful in light of tonight's developments. In fact, holding onto any of the 22 commitments is a highly speculative proposition given that there is no kind of clear indication of what the yet-to-be assembled Tennessee staff may look like. Kiffin is taking recruiting coordinator Ed Orgeron to USC along with his father and defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin to Los Angeles. The loss of Orgeron in particular will be a blow on the recruiting trail, but the elder Kiffin's ability to relate prospects, and attract them with his NFL reputation has been a tangible benefit of his hire as well. "From a timing standpoint, it couldn't be any worse. While most schools are putting the final touches on their classes, it's almost back to square one for Tennessee," Rivals.com national recruiting analyst Jeremy Crabtree said on Monday night. "The Vols were in line for what was going to be one of the nation's best classes, but now everybody is left with more questions than answers. The longer that something drags out on Tennessee's end the more damage will be done, but I'm afraid there will be too much to repair in the short amount of time left." That concern, repairing the damage done to this current recruiting class, is just one of the holes that Mike Hamilton has to look to fill in a hurry. There's also the unavoidable damage done to the program from two complete coaching transformations in just over one calendar year. Any kind of continuity Tennessee had begun to build under Kiffin has just been jettisoned and will have to be built again from the ground up. The first effects we'll see from Kiffin's move will be from high school prospects in the coming weeks, but ripple effects from his abrupt departure will be felt for much longer than that."

Apparently several recruits and recruits' parents went up to his office to give him a piece of their mind. Campus is swarming with security.

1/12/2010 11:33:33 PM

They just mentioned Muschamp on the local news here, too.

Apparently during the meeting with the players, Ed was already texting a couple of recruits offering them schollies to USC.

Muschamp might not want to wait that long

"I'm not so much mad at him, just stunned"

Wow? You bring in a loud mouthed young gun who is loyal to no one but himself and his father and you're stunned he left Knoxville, Tennessee for Southern California? Let me say that again, Knoxville, Tennessee. He's under 35, has been in football his entire privileged life, runs his mouth every chance he gets, and we're puzzled about him leaving? This is a great event in sports. From the crack at Urban, to the numerous secondary violations he committed, etc etc. Vol boosters deserve nothing less, and the fans, well, don't matter anyway. I like it in college sports that the coach does what he wants and leaves the administration/players/boosters to pick up the pieces. I hope Tennessee and USC get a home and home really soon. Lane Kiffin will need a swat team at his hotel in Knoxville. it'll make Saban back to Baton Rouge look like a visit to the spa.

If Orgeron was texting UT recruits for USC during Kiffin's fairwell to the current players, I'm buying season tickets to USC, that's just awesome.

"he will do the same thing at USC"

Just like EVERYONE said when he went to Tennessee, except the citizens of Knoxville, TN. Guys that move along to the next best job all have one thing for certain in common, tremendous arrogance and an oversized ego (Spurrier, Saban, Petrino, Carrol, etc). Not saying they aren't good at what they do, but the fact stands. (SPOLIER-Not all coaches think the world revolves around them) It's over man. Face it. And can we please keep the photoshops with Kiffin coming along, hilarious. Expect nothing but slams and jabs from a university that kicked off multiple players from both the football and the basketball team where guns were directly inVOLved. Donna Shalala called, she says to slow down, you're taking our rep.

Butch Davis/Charlie Weiss to UT would make this coaching circle utterly complete. And can we please get the Tennessee 2010 started, it's way past time.

1/13/2010 12:35:34 AM

Expectations aren't that high at UT. They gave Fulmer contract extensions for 9 win seasons. Muschamp has a pretty good resume and has coached under some of the best in the nation. I think he would do a satisfactory job, which for them is 8-9 win seasons with the faint possibility of an SEC East berth.

"It hasn't been a good night for defensive end Delvin Jones. Just 90 minutes or so ago he found out Tennessee head coach Lane Kiffin accepted the head coaching position at Southern Cal. Jones, from Miami Palmetto High School, was not happy about that move. "Please tell me what is going on," Jones said. "I found out about 90 minutes ago. No one will answer the phone up there. I am trying to call all those coaches and no one is answering their (cell) phone. I haven't heard from any one. I feel lost right now." Jones had committed to the Vols months ago. But this recent change has changed his mind. "Heck no I am not committed (to Tennessee). I am opening things back up. Sure I will see what happens at Tennessee but right now they don't have a coaching staff." Jones said he was slated to make an official visit to Knoxville this coming weekend. With that now canceled he has one more visit lined up at this time and that's to Ole Miss (1-22) the following weekend. Jones is a four-star defensive end prospect and a member of the Rivals250. "Right now I have only that one other visit (Ole Miss). I will get with my coach tomorrow and we'll try and sort some things out."

I don't know what is stupid about that. You'd give a nut for a 9 win season in the next 2 years.

1/13/2010 12:58:16 AM

for the next two years if we lose all these recruits, yes...

but normally, that wouldnt be unless the coach had already been there a long time like Fulmer... the days of a coach being given 5+ years to do something are gone

"Tennessee not only lost head football coach Lane Kiffin and some of his staff to Southern Cal Tuesday night, the Vols also lost one of their commitments from Byrnes High School, DE Brandon Willis. "I was just about to leave (Duncan for Knoxville) when that came on," said Willis who was going to join Miller as an early enrollee. "All my bags are packed. I'm talking to my dad right now trying to figure out what to do. I'm back open. I've got one more official visit. I might take it, I might not. UCLA is still in the mix. I won't stay in the state. And I won't go to Tennessee. They had the nerve to call me and ask me to come to Southern Cal. And coach Orgeron had just told me he was going to be my coach at Tennessee. Auburn just called me. I don't know what to say.""

I dont blame the players at all, but I fucking hope those assholes dont get a god damn one of them at USC, glad to hear Willis isnt buying the bullshit

only good news so far, but I wouldnt be surprised to see him change his mind by morning:

Quote :

" Byrnes DE Corey Miller, an early enrollee at Tennessee, said Tuesday night he is staying with the Vols and will begin classes Wednesday morning. "I'm 100% Vols," Miller said. "I'm going to class tomorrow. I love Knoxville. I love this place and this is where I'm going to be. It was a letdown (to hear the news of Lane Kiffin's departure) but we've got to stick together as a team and pull thru it." Miller said he's not talked to recruiters from other schools and has no plans to. Once he attends class Wednesday morning, he becomes locked in with the Vols"

wow, you know its bad when almost every Georgia, Florida, and Bama fan I see on rivals and other sites arent even talking shit, just feel sorry for us...

"It's not often I agree with a Buckeye , but Kiffin is a total douchebag Reply and I feel bad for the kids and their parents who committed to him. It seems like Kiffin is only committed to Kiffin. Good luck guys"

"I cannot fathom the lack of character it takes to treat your school and employer with such disrespect. First, I'm shocked that USC would go after a coach just finishing his first year in a new job and even more shocked that a school's HC would just dump his school, his responsibilities and abandon his players and their families under these circumstances. Nearly half of Lane's class has EE and now they have no coach? UT will bounce back from this and I can't wait until UT and USC meet up during the regular season or in a bowl in a couple of years. Can you imagine? Maybe ND will work out a schedule trade with you?"
