UT Boards

Been bored all day so I decided to actually bump around some Tennessee boards and see what their fans thought about Kiffin's comments. In short most of them think they were great. Comments like

Quote

"why shouldn't we rattle the cage"

and

Quote

"it gets us back in the national spotlight"

abound.

What dumbasses!

Kiffin has a history of shooting his mouth off. Supposedly, the following is a letter from Al Davis to Kiffin when he was still with the Raiders. The link was http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-raiders-k iffinfired-letter&prov=ap&type=lgns but apparently the article has been removed or expired because its old. Not sure how legit it is, so TIFWIW I suppose.

Quote

Over the past months, you have made a number of public statements that were highly critical of, and designed to embarrass and discredit, this organization, its players and its coaches. I left you alone during training camp in hopes that you would cease your immature and destructive campaign.

However, you continue to make public statements that are critical of the organization, its players as whole as well as individual players. Such statements constitute conduct detrimental to the Raiders and I will no longer stand silently by while you continue to hurt this organization.

Further, your contract is quite clear that you work “subject to the direction and supervision of the General Partner” and that the General Partner has “the exclusive right to do all things, which in its sole discretion are necessary to maintain and improve the Club, the football organization and their activities.”

I realized when I hired you that you were young and inexperienced and that there would be a learning process for you. Your mistakes on player personnel and coaches were overlooked based on our patience with you. But I never dreamt that you would be untruthful in statements to the press as well as on so many other issues. Your actions are those of a coach looking to makes (sic) excuses for not winning, rather than a coach focused on winning.

For example, with the exception of Gibril Wilson, you were involved in recruiting all free agents and determining salaries for them and you were explicit about your desire to sign Javon Walker and DeAngelo Hall amongst others. All were a must to sign in your eyes, Hall, in particular, because he played for Greg Knapp in Atlanta and Knapp gave him high grades. Do not run from that now.

I do realize that you did not want us to draft JaMarcus Russell. He is a great player. Get over it and coach this team on the field, that is what you were hired to do. We can win with this team!

In regards to your recent fabrications about the defense, during the final cuts you made every cut on offense and every cut on defense except for (Fred) Wakefield on defense and (Seth) Wand on offense. Furthermore, during the game Monday night (defensive coordinator) Rob (Ryan) played your Cover-2 defense and we got killed on an approximately 50-yard touchdown pass and an approximately 70-yard gain that led to a field goal.

You meet every week with the defensive coaches to go over both the past game and to get a general feel for what will happen during the week in practice. You have the ability and authority to provide your input during those meetings and the preparation of the game plan. I do not have weekly meetings with Rob?you do.

During the week no one has ever told you what to do on either offense or defense. In addition, no one has ever told you during a game what to do on either offense or defense and you call every play on offense. During a game if you want to blitz more, all you have to do is let Rob know what blitz you want and he will do it.

Although you continue to use the media to express your dissatisfaction with others, no one has publicly pointed out to you that in four preseason games and one regular-season game played this year, your offense has scored one first-half touchdown. That put tremendous pressure on the defense.

I know that you wanted to bring your father in to run the defense and that Monte told me that he wanted to come here even though he as (sic) under contract to Tampa. However I did not want to tamper with another team. In any event that was over seven months ago. Do not now also run from the defense and your responsibilities.

This letter constitutes notice that if you further violate any term of your contract, in any manner whatsoever, you will be terminated for cause. I trust that this will not occur.

I think UT has really fucked up by hiring him. It is becoming more and more apparent as time passes.

I have almost decided not to say what I want to say on this issue.

What's the difference in their absurdity and the chizzgasms going on around here?

Well personally I see a difference but some may not. You cannot honestly tell me you don't?

On the one hand you have fans getting excited over a better-than-expected recruiting class and the hiring of quality assistant coaches.

On the other you have fans getting excited about their coach being a complete asshole to every coach in the SEC, most recently by brazenly falsely accusing another SEC coach of cheating as publicly as possible, and getting reprimanded by the SEC commish for it.

Exactly the same.

Being excited about a coach who is trying to start shit with unfounded rumors and who apparently loves to buck the system

vs.

Being excited about a coach who came in and did a hell of a job with recruiting with the time he had to do it, all within NCAA guidelines.

Granted I've only had one or two Chizzigasms but I can still see a difference.

I wasn't talking about 95% of you.

And between those and this? No, I don't see much difference. Same level.

So I got to spell it out, huh?

Okay. I don't see a whole lot of difference between a few folks up there YA-HOOING over Kiffin's bluster and a few folks around here pounding their sausages every time Chizik farts.

If you read this board (and maybe others, I don't know) this statement?

They all seem to be whipped into a mouth breathing frenzy over Kiffin

could very easily read

They all seem to be whipped into a mouth breathing frenzy over Chizik

and draw just as much derisive laughter.

I actually should not have used a question mark on my post. It was meant as a statement of understanding of what you were saying.
