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

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.
