Whatever happened to dedication to your team, win or lose, staying until the job is done? Coach Kiffin sold out the UT players, staff and fans. In my opinion, the players deserve much more from a coach than what Kiffin brought to UT. Being a coaches wife I have experienced first hand what a true coach really is. I am proud to say, my husband stayed until the job was done at each school and left it much better than he found it and trust me, it takes many years. Coach Kiffin’s heart wasn’t here from the beginning regardless what he made us all believe. I feel sorry for the players and incoming players who he simply bailed on. This should be considered a learning experience and UT WILL prevail from this.

I think it is HIGH Time that the UT Atheletic Dept. GET SERIOUS! (Which they have NOT been for at least the past SIX Years). Instead of giving SKY HIGH raises to certain head coaches, which are little better than HIGH SCHOOL COACHES,and recruiting players with little or no morals,the Athletic Dept. should FIRST CLEAN ITSELF UP, Then get BUSY! I am tired of paying those high prices for tickets,and seeing high school plays,& the BAD NEWS BEARS antics.Perhaps Kiffin was NOT the RIGHT Man for the job in the first place.

With a 7-6 record being enough for USC’s requirements, I think it speaks volumes about their dire situation on the west coast. If he can’t do better than that with Monte and Norm Chow next year, then it will be quite obvious why he fits the USC plan; he is a perfect match for the glitzy, eye-candy land of California. All fluff and no stuff.

This may have been a shock to UT fans, players and alumni. But I truely believe it is better to find out his true colors now.

One word summation of Lane Kiffin’s career at Tennessee? CARPET-BAGGER

Why don’t UT let Coach Summit hire the football coach? She has class, ethics, morals and certainly is a WINNER!!!

Go for the best available, Mike Leach, ex Texas Tech Red Raiders Coach. Proven winner and highest graduation rate of players.

As a lifetime Vols fan I sincerely appreciate the leaving of lane kiffin, our great University of Tennessee has recently fell on hard times with the character issues of some of our players, our athletes deserve a leader, a Mentor with far more character than lane kiffin, they deserve a Real Man that will teach them true character, and commitment, that obviously kiffin does not have, and could not teach! kiffin I hope your dad is proud of you for the lack of integrity that you have shown the VOL NATION! Thanks again kiffin, for leaving before you tarnish the lives of our great athletes.
