Kiffin takes a parting shot at UT?
Saw this on another board and wanted to share.
Kiffin was on the Jim Rome show and reportedly said something along the lines of: "Recruits weren't coming to Tenn to wear the yellow uniform. They were coming to play for this coaching staff."
How he could mistake the flame retardant orange for yellow is beyond me.
January 15th, 2010 at 4:44 PM ^
and ask himself, "How can I be a bigger d-bag today?" If so, he's doing a damn fine job.
January 15th, 2010 at 4:45 PM ^
or did they just not care?
I understand that he probably put his best face forward, but I doubt his best face could cover all of the douchiness.
January 15th, 2010 at 5:10 PM ^
I would guess that he is one of those people that can hide their true colors very well when they wants to. I can see this whole situation ending in a few years with Lane having his own reality TV show where he sits around the house in his PJ's eating cheese balls and huffing paint. Epic D'bag
January 16th, 2010 at 2:35 AM ^
No real reason, just thought the word "huffing" was funny.
January 15th, 2010 at 4:45 PM ^
Kiffin is an asshole, that is the bottom line. I hope he runs USC into the ground
January 15th, 2010 at 4:48 PM ^
Karma is a bitch, I hope it bites him in the ass.
January 15th, 2010 at 11:06 PM ^
Take a look at his record; I think Karma is currently dominating.
January 15th, 2010 at 4:47 PM ^
Moran.
January 15th, 2010 at 4:50 PM ^
he was half right: "Recruits weren't coming to Tenn to wear the yellow uniform." He should have stopped there.
January 15th, 2010 at 4:50 PM ^
I'm surprised he didn't follow that up with, "I'm one of the best singers, one of the best dancers! I'm Lane Kiffin, bitch!"
January 15th, 2010 at 4:52 PM ^
And I'm one of the best looking mother f---. Hold my drink, bitch.
January 15th, 2010 at 5:06 PM ^
come see how good I look...
January 15th, 2010 at 5:51 PM ^
Kiffin: What did the five fingers say to the face?
Rome: I don't know, man...
Kiffin: Slap! (Slaps the shit out of Rome, sending his penciled-on goatee flying across the room)
Kiffin: Welcome to the China Club, a chinga-chang-chong!
January 15th, 2010 at 10:54 PM ^
reading that made me remember how much I miss the "Chappelle Show".
January 15th, 2010 at 4:53 PM ^
not only is he dumb, but the asshole is color blind to
January 15th, 2010 at 4:54 PM ^
The recruits were definitely not going to Tennessee to wear the yellow uniform . . .because the uniforms are orange. Did he really get the color wrong? Well, he certainly fits his new role at the University of Spoiled Children.
January 15th, 2010 at 4:54 PM ^
Kiffin you cant spell SUCks without USC and those orange Trojan Unis!
January 15th, 2010 at 5:12 PM ^
didn't come to Tennessee for the coaching staff, they came to stare at Kiffin's hot wife.
January 15th, 2010 at 5:13 PM ^
lane's effective at boiling blood. the pre-presser drama is comical http://bit.ly/7mhYWV
January 15th, 2010 at 5:30 PM ^
Can say I have been in a similar situation in this profession, and it was the stupid TV media holding everything up. Thanks for posting. I like how all the reporters throw their recorders at Kiffin when he walks in at the end.
January 15th, 2010 at 6:36 PM ^
... great find.
January 15th, 2010 at 5:16 PM ^
The thing that I can't get my arms around is how does this guy keeps falling forward?
This guy walks around stepping in post holes and nothing,he continues to get players,people to coach with him,jobs and a hot wife.
One would think that this guy couldn't get a date if he was walking thru an all womens prison with a fist full of pardons.
I don't get it.
January 15th, 2010 at 5:30 PM ^
Some people who are obviously incompetent also project an absolutely diamond-hard self-confidence and optimism that is completely unaffected by that incompetence. They're dumb enough to not know what they don't know, and thus are unhampered by the self-doubts and hesitations that normal people are subject to.
Of course, it takes two to tango, and these Masters of Bamboozlement also require a willing and gullible audience to succeed. Unfortunately, most 18- and 19-year old kids aren't mature enough to know when somebody is spit-shining a turd.
January 15th, 2010 at 5:32 PM ^
reminds me of the Sellers flick Being There.
January 15th, 2010 at 8:26 PM ^
Sadly in addition to these 18-19 yr old kids, their parent(s), guardians, and/or high school coaches are showing just as much incompetence.
January 16th, 2010 at 2:42 AM ^
this post is full of win.
January 15th, 2010 at 5:18 PM ^
You can't spell "retardant" without "RETARD," and that's the operative word when it comes to Lane Kiffin.
January 15th, 2010 at 5:23 PM ^
Here's to hoping that all the USC grads announce themselves as coming from "Pete Carroll's USC Trojans."
January 15th, 2010 at 11:09 PM ^
Well played.
Somewhere in Ann Arbor, Lloyd Carr is having a Canadian Club with Diet Coke and laughing about that one.
January 15th, 2010 at 5:34 PM ^
most USCers love the guy because of his douchiness. tennessee fans LOVED the guy because he was a dick. he's no more than a flashy car salesman but i'd bet most of his recruits look at the staff he has around him and are impressed by that more so than by him.
at least he hasn't told any recruits that God want them there, that we know of
January 15th, 2010 at 5:58 PM ^
Eh, they'll love him until the first loss to UCLA or Stanford or Oregon State, then they'll turn on him like wolves on a sick antelope. That's the problem for assclowns—people don't really like them, they just put up with them as long as they're successful. At the first sign of trouble, there's no reservoir of respect or genuine affection to moderate the hate.
I despised Carroll more than any other college coach except for Lane Kiffin, and I really have to hand it to USC that they replaced Petey with the best.
January 15th, 2010 at 5:42 PM ^
Anyone actually have this quote from somewhere other than "a board"?
January 15th, 2010 at 5:43 PM ^
Rome:You used to be Lane Kiffin. Now you're Jane Kiffin.
Lane: If you call me Jane one more time you'll regret it.
Rome: Jane
(Lane flips the table and attacks Rome)
January 15th, 2010 at 5:59 PM ^
That's kind of funny as is everyone's outrage. Your giving in to how Kiffin wants you to react.
January 15th, 2010 at 11:32 PM ^
If we get angry, the terrorists win.
January 15th, 2010 at 6:59 PM ^
Are classless. Even when they are warranted. Lane Kiffin ran his mouth about how great his staff was going to make Tennessee, attacked other programs and coaches, and cheated. He left Tennessee vulnerable and left the second LA came calling.
He is classless trash and an absolute piece of crap.
I hope we play USC in the Rose Bowl next year...I would love that game.
January 15th, 2010 at 7:20 PM ^
I hope we play someone else in the rose bowl while USC sits at home with NCAA troubles.
January 15th, 2010 at 8:28 PM ^
and all the agonizing losses to USC since, there's no program in the country I want to beat more than USC. My dream scenario is to play them in the 2011 Rose Bowl, beat them 49-0, have Lane Kiffin get into fist fights with crazy Coach O on the sidelines, and THEN have them be put on probation by the NCAA.
Wow, crack is great stuff.
January 16th, 2010 at 2:45 AM ^
Enjoy a video with that bowl:
January 15th, 2010 at 8:20 PM ^
I, for one, am growing to love these Kiffen threads.
January 16th, 2010 at 7:59 PM ^
i really, really hope that the ncaa takes usc's hiring of kiffin personally and comes down on them HARD.
