The drawback on this one, see, is now there's an opportunity for them to actually land a good coach.  THINK SON I'M A'CUTTIN BUT YOU AINT A'BLEEDIN

Wow.  It's not every day that you think that maybe Al Davis isn't the biggest asshole in any confrontation these days.

Al Davis: Vindicated.

From the Knoxville newspaper:

Students, fans greet Kiffin with obscenities

By Dave Hooker

Dozens of students and fans marched into the Neyland-Thompson Sports Complex on Tuesday night chanting obscenities at Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin, who was informing his players about his departure to Southern California.

The crowd then moved to an office area where an impromptu press conference was being held for Kiffin.

Police were called to quell the crowd, which calmed down once officers arrived.

The crowd eventually became rowdy and were asked to disperse without incident.

As bad as the Urban Meyer think looked, I'd hate to be a Tennessee fan right now. This is almost the worst time to hire a coach. Take too long, and you will fuck up recruiting. Do it too quickly, and you may not get the best candidate. As I side note, I tried to log on to a Vols message board, but of course the webpage isn't loading. I'm assuming it's getting overloaded with traffic. The same thing happened to the Gator message boards when the Urban Meyer thing happened.

I still don't see how Al Davis is vindicated by this.

I mean if Kiffin hadn't spent 6 years at USC and was jumping at this job then maybe yeah. But I don't think he took the UT job expecting USC to open up in the foreseeable future.

[Neil]

I still don't see how Al Davis is vindicated by this.

Because it means that Lane Kiffin is an untrustworthy, useless douchebag.

Of course, Davis is still a crazy old man who has no business running a pro football team, but at least it shows that his broken brain is right from time to time.

Take that you defensive coordinator stealing dirtbags!  Suffer the way the Bucs suffered when old man kiffin agreed to run out on us while being 9-3!!

Urban Meyer at tonight's UF-UK game finding out that Lane Kiffin was leaving for USC:

Because it means that Lane Kiffin is an untrustworthy, useless douchebag.

That's not why Davis fired him, though.

Yeah, but it's getting embarrassing for the Vols now.  I mean, when somebody would rather coach at Duke than at your school, you better be talking about coaching basketball, not football.

[Neil]

Yeah, but it's getting embarrassing for the Vols now.  I mean, when somebody would rather coach at Duke than at your school, you better be talking about coaching basketball, not football.

They could use a Peyton Manning pep talk.

They could use a Peyton Manning pep talk.

They could use a Dick Butkus pep talk.

[Barrister]

Even if Al Davis was vindicated, he's still a POS for the way he's stringing out Tom Cable.

[Eddie Teach]

Y'all sound like women discussing their celeb rags. 

[Neil]

Yeah, but it's getting embarrassing for the Vols now.  I mean, when somebody would rather coach at Duke than at your school, you better be talking about coaching basketball, not football.

They could use a Peyton Manning pep talk.

They could use a Dick Butkus pep talk.

Dick Butkus didn't go to school at Tennesee, so it would be less meaningful.
