OT - Conference Room Drama Video Prior to Lane Kiffin's Farewell Speech
It gets a little testy in there! The last 10 seconds are great.

EDIT: Sorry, I did not realize that this had been posted by entirely reasonable in the Kiffin Takes Parting Shot thread. I searched for other threads with this content, but couldn't find anything.

I can't figure out why that one tool keeps making a big deal about getting everything one camera???

I have run into a similar situation, and everyone in the room reacted like these guys. I can sort of understand his gripes, but Kiffin was not obligated to speak to any of them, and it's his terms. The guy was just a tool.

Man, that balding guy needed to give it a rest. I imagine this is how the local West Virginia press acted when Rich Rod left.

The news director is protecting the one asset his station has. If a paper runs a quote, you either always believe the quote or you never believe the quote (based on how you feel about the paper). If you're a fan and a subscriber, you always believe the quote. (why would you read a paper you don't trust?)
Television has never tried to establish that trust. They just show you the recording of the people giving the quote. Take away that clip and they have nothing to go on.
So the news director is standing his ground in order to protect his product.

They were still allowing audio recording though. To me, it seemed like they were trying to get Kiffin and/or the PR guy to "snap". I mean, why else did the one guy loudly proclaim, "He is such a snake." He wasn't saying that in the interest of journalistic integrity.........

Unless it involves red neck Tennesseans yelling at or acosting kiffin, or pics of kiffins hot wife, its not worth watching. Sorry guys, this is an epic fail.
Go Blue.
Gettin ready to go to Centerfolds on John R...who's in? My wife is dancing tonight.
January 15th, 2010 at 10:13 PM ^
When you kiss your wife later, let me know how my cock tastes.

You make a derogatory blanket statement about an entire state, and then you mention going to what I assume is a strip-club. That, my friend, is an EPIC FAIL.

go to Supercuts?? Those were some of the worst hair cuts ever. The guy on the cellphone looked like he had a combination afro/mohawk.
January 15th, 2010 at 11:31 PM ^
my goal for tomorrow is to use "Mo-fro" in casual conversation.
and not get punched.

why the hell was the ad standing up for kiffin, he just absolutely screwed that program over for years to come and the ad is still trying to be a nice guy and give into kiffin's demands. what for?
January 16th, 2010 at 12:53 AM ^
That was not the AD, my guess is that it was a media/PR guy.

Who cares? I was really expecting one of two things.. a heartattack or possibly a broken bottle standoff.. slightly disappointed. Tennessee is better off without Kiff McGiff. USC is in the same boat with him. Like Daddy always said, winners never quit, and Lane Kiffin sucks at coaching.
