good observation makes the TN loss that much sweeter

Just wait until we hear the UT press conference. "If we had another minute, we would have beat them. It was only a 3 point game if they would have let us kick the extra point."

You don't know that yet. Chow/Kiff's offense was certainly the strength of Carroll's best teams.

Bottom line, Kiffin is a badass recruiter. If he doesn't have lots of success, the guy after him will.

You sure are going out on a limb. Of course, Carroll took a 5-7 team and started 1-4 his first year in the Pac-10. Kiffin is ahead of Carroll's pace so far.

I know there aren't many smart posters here, but coaches' first years generally mean jack shite.
