Didn't see this coming

I got a phone call at 5:30 am from a friend in Knoxville telling me that Kiffin was going. Have been out all day and evening. Finally got the text from espn at 8:30pm. Well, hell, what do we do now.

wow . . .

Want to say I am surprised, but he was on a sinking ship in Knoxville. He leaves that program in worse shape than he found it.

Have to disagree with you elrocko. Not a sinking ship. Better this year than expected. And a very good class coming in next year. It was left to him in pretty bad shape. I would have liked to see what he could do. Like sarge said, if he can't do it here, he won't do it at USC. Except that he will have an easier schedule as MUD said.

I have to disagree...this one was very easy to see. UT is gonna be terrible for the next couple of seasons and he is losing recruits left and right. He has had his hand slapped numerous times and numerous arrests. Three recruits have already de committed for the 2010 class and LSU just took their RB coach along with two huge commits that they had for the 2011 season. Plus, he has obvious ties to the school

Coming from a LSU fan.........no comment!!! :grin::grin::grin:

OK....been on the phone and on the blogs and it seems these are the main names that are being considered.

Will Muschamp, Texas supposedly already offered
David Cutcliffe, Duke
Skip Holtz, ECU
Troy Calhoun, Air Force
Chris Petersen, Boise State
Gary Patterson, TCU
Butch Davis, North Carolina
Randy Edsall, Connecticut
Jim Leavitt and Mike Leach: God, I hope not.


And they have Ed O. on tape and copies of text messages telling the early entrance scholarship players (some of whom were in the room) that they have a scholarships to USC and to apply for a transfer. We'll see where this goes!!

 

[Sgt John]

He made a mistake.

Big-BIG mistake

ESPN NCAAF USC latest proving ground for Kiffin

Good read.

 

[Runnik's Hambones]

I think USC made the best hire they possibly could.

 

[nicholete]

Norm Chow will join Kiffin at USC.

Well nevermind on this. Chow is staying in UCLA.

 

[Sgt John]

Chow already has a nice gig where he is at. Id stay put as well.
