Legitimate question for Vol fans

he is their coach for better or worse, they will not villify him unless he bust next season. Yo are seeing blind loyalty for all of the wrong reasons.

couldn't have put it better myself. i'm all for blind loyalty... we Bama fans know what that's ALLLLLLL about, but to be a UT fan and believe in Kiffin is just denial.

The majority of people on Vol Nation dont know shite.....

I like Lane Kiffin and what he has done so far here in Knoxville. He has brought the spotlight back to the University, something that we havent experienced in quite a while.

With that being said, he has made several gaffes, your naive/retarded if your a vols fan and deny this. We have a bunch of secondary violations, so do tons of other schools. We had 2 players kicked off and 1 suspended for a few games. Under Fulmer, we had people dealing drugs, fighting with students, and killing people after they graduated.

Every time Kiffin takes a shot at another coach, many of you are like "Oh, thats so embarrassing, hes making a fool out of himself and UT". Actually, most vol fans, including myself, love this. Its football, people talk shite... Whether he can back it up, we will see.

In 2-4 years if we are still not competing for the SEC, I will agree with everyone on here because if you can talk the talk and cant walk the walk, your arse has got to go. Until then, I give him the benefit of the doubt. Im a junior here at UT, and yall saw the disgrace called our football program in the last few years. My first 2 years here, I saw us lose to fricking Wyoming! This is a far cry from our decade of dominance in the 1990's and success in the early 2000's.

Bottom line is, educated vols fans understand that he has said many controversial things.... At the same time, he has reawakened the university that is still suffering from the Fulmer hangover. I really hope he succeeds, and we have set ourselves up to do so. Next year wont be the year, but give him til 2011 to get players in here and we will be back in contention for the SEC year in and year out.

they may want to be relavent in football, but the University of Tennessee is a college and the president is Kiffin's bosses boss. i would think that "being relavent" is not worth it if the price is too high. the price being contributors to the university (not athletics) getting pissed off and not being so generous in the future. i just don't get it.

You should see the donations that are pouring into our program right now.

I also just talked to a friend of mine who happens to be a hostess, and supposedly the girl in question is from South Carolina. She apparently took some friends home with her over the break and they went to the game.

Rumor going around is we are in the clear, I hope so

are you just a fan of the football team and not the college?

Where did you get this notion?

You honestly think that our secondary violations are effecting the University (not AD) negatively? Please.......

so has Nick Saban but he did it by winning not being a douche, a-hole and pimp all rolled into one.

Most SEC fans fall into this category.

Really?

No college = No football.

I predict that Tenn could be setback until 2015 or longer after Kiffin's reign is over.

So all of those Vol fans hungry for relevance and contention, buckle-up for a bumpy ride. Bama football fans and LSU basketball fans can attest to this.

I don't see how anyone could use the any publicity is good publicity mantra in this siutation but I honestly haven't seen it. I don't doubt that some morons on Volnation are saying just that but I haven't seen it but I haven't really been looking for it either. I don't care about the trash talking to other schools with the exception of calling Herban a cheat since it kind of blew up in his face. I personally didn't care for him one way or the other when he was initially hired as I wanted Kelly but have found myself warming to him the more other fanbases hate him. I don't know why...the reaction he elicits from other fans is hilarious to me. With the exception of our ecofriendly gangsters, which I still have some trouble pinning on Kiffin, he hasn't emabarrassed me as it is football and is supposed to be fun. I also think a lot of his flippant remarks are made in jest. If he doesn't back up his talk shortly his time in Knoxville will have been short but memorable and we'll find someone else to try to turn around our program.

Brah you gotta know the mindset of the Vols. Here's one example;

First question on a Tenessee Admission Test for new students;

Question #1 How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Multiple choice

(A) Depends on how big the Woodchuck is

(B) Depends on how much wood we're talking about being chucked

(C) Depends on how many possible recruits the woodchuck may know

(D) I'm a dumbarse give me a little hint
