Vol fans - what if Saban/Kiffin pulled a Bowden/Scott?

Long story short. Brad Scott is fairly well despised among Gamecock fans as the coach that almost destroyed our program. Brad Scott was, of course, the OC under Bobby Bowden at FSU when they won their '94 MNC. Scott was considered a hot commodity so Mike McGee hired him, (same AD who hired Holtz and Spurrier).

Five years later we were almost ruined. He had driven our overall all-time record below .500 ... longest losing streak in the nation, etc.

Anyways, so Tommy Bowden hires him as his OLine coach at Clemson and Fat Bradstard jumps at the chance. At Clemson he proceeds to recruit against us, claims to know where all the skeletons are buried,etc. Total hypocrite scumbag ... claimed we were a racist institution, took old clippings from the 50s and 60s of one of our sponsors at the time, around to recruits ... just a total scumbag, like Kiffin.

So his first yr as an assistant at Clemson, they win in Columbia ... and the players and coaches had scripted that Fat Bradstard be carried off the field, off of Carolina's field, on their shoulders.

Bama plays in Neyland this coming season, correct?

Will Kiffin use negative recruiting against Tennessee, claim to know where all the skeletons are buried in Knoxville ... and will Bama's players carry Kiffin off the field on their shoulders after they win up there this coming season?

We'll forever hate that mutha frickin' Fat Bradstard Scott.

Less than a year later you were carried off the field at Williams-Brice Stadium after a Clemson win over the Gamecocks.

"That's a Tommy Bowden deal. If I had one thing I wish that would not have happened in my career, that would be it. But I guess very few coaches probably have been carried off the field there and off the field here (at Clemson as South Carolina head coach). But that sure cut the strings for a lot of folks, I think."


Kiffin would not only NOT regret it ... he'd relish the opportunity.

Don't think we've carried a coach off the field since Gene Stallings after winning the NC for the '92 season.

So I doubt we'd carry off an assistant coach with a 1 year relationship with a program that's currently struggling pretty hard.

Bama won last year 45-10. UT is a dumpster fire. And you are retarded.

Why on earth would a Saban-coached Bama team need to recruit negatively against Tennessee?


For the most part, Saban can pretty much pick and choose which recruits he wants and which recruits he'll leave for the Vols. There's absolutely no need for Kiffin to recruit negatively against UTk.

I can sorta see what you're saying especially with the captain destructo comparison and then going to your most hated rival but Kiffin was here for a year and all the bodies would be his -- from his wrecking a university loaned car to the 'hostess' scandal to everything else he did. No one stuck from his team and Kiffin is universally reviled. It's not like it's just Tennessee saying "this guy is bad news."

Of course, that won't stop Kiffin from trying (tis his nature to be a snake) but I don't see how it impacts recruiting very much. Dooley pissed off Tennessee HS coaches by isolating them, I can't see Kiffin being welcomed by anyone but the one Memphis-guy (forget his name but he's one of those who inserts himself as a middle man) and he hates us anyway.

FWIW, I can't believe Clemson went so low class as to specifically carry him off the field. Wow. I'd be shocked if Saban ever did something like that and I don't think it would end well if they did do that. Something like that would actually make me fearful of real violence happening instead of just boo-birds and angry but tame displays.

We would be ok with this, so long as Layla still gets passed around Knoxville upon her return...

Yeah, we'll drag Kiffin out of the press box and parade him around Neyland after we drub them for the 10th time in a row.. Don't project y'all's inbred state problems onto the Beacon in T-town..

Kiffin will be in the press box, if he's not then he will have to have police escort the entire game
