Lane Kiffin????? Your kidding right? That jerk ruined Tennesse football! Kiss of death to any football program.
Agreed. "Lane Kiffin U S*** C*** - Love, UTK" A fun, angry, depressing night. We truly loved Lane Kiffin for he was pulling the program out of the dark ages. Not that we were bad with Phil, but slipping and using the age old strategies with very little adaptation. In comes a young, professional coach which seemed surreal. His first year was not terrible, but not awesome. A very memorable win against Georgia and South Carolina (in black uniforms on Halloween) stand out. The bowl game against VT sucked, but it was not a bad year for a first year head coach. The defense was good enough to win 10 games, but the offense was seriously lacking. Crompton was barely average and Montario Hardesty was talented, but not an all down back. A few close losses made the season seem like a failure (mediocre UCLA, close loss to BCS Champions Florida, Auburn, and Alabama). The Alabama game still gives me nightmares. We held a Heisman winning Marcus Ingram-led Alabama offense to 4 field goals. We had a field goal at the end of the half blocked and the potential game winning field goal blocked by the same freaking guy! That was in Tuscaloosa and would have been the first win in Tuscaloosa since the crazy 5 OT win in 2003. Then, at the end of a decent year considering, he leaves for USC. F Lane Kiffin.
TLDR: F Lane Kiffin
