January 14, 201016 yr My understanding is that the Norm Chow to USC is not a done deal. Interesting note: Norm Chow was the offensive coordinator at UCLA last season. UK's offensive coordinator, Joker Phillips, was higher paid than Coach Chow. Who said life was fair?
January 14, 201016 yr They haved been, ... but they certainly were not this year. Agree USC not best team in PAC 10 this year but they have been last few years. 1998 last year Vols best team in SEC with Saban and Meyer coaching at Alabama and Florida someone might overtake one of them in a season but to overtake both will be very hard for any coach or team.
January 14, 201016 yr Wow, that had to be some bad info you got. Kirby leaves Bama for the interim job at UT? No chance.:laugh: Got the names mixed up. Kirby turned down Georgia. Kippy Brown is the interim. Kippy - Kirby?

UK's offensive coordinator, Joker Phillips, was higher paid than Coach Chow. Who said life was fair? He gets a raise to around 900k if he's on the staff at UCLA next season though. He agent said it would take about 1.15 million per season to get him.
January 15, 201016 yr I agree with very little this woman says...but I see her point on this one. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/commentary/news/story?id=4822352 But she was very clever on how she ripped him without making the rips the primary theme of her column. Very clever. Loved it! I don't have a bunch of hateful adjectives for Kiffin. Instead, I'd like to thank him, because with this bold -- albeit shady -- move, Kiffin has confirmed what a cesspool big-time college sports have become. I have no idea whether Kiffin can coach, since he has half as many NCAA secondary violations (six) as he does career wins (12) on the pro and college levels. And when you consider Kiffin's own brushes with the NCAA, it makes him even more of a perfect fit. I don't feel sorry for Tennessee's athletic department or the school itself just because, overnight, they have a coach to get and a reputation to salvage. They knew what they were getting into with Kiffin, given the controversial way he left the Oakland Raiders. If Al Davis reads a multipage letter to the media about what a slimeball a guy is, you should know you're not exactly getting St. Peter. I don't feel sorry for the Tennessee's mattress-burning fans, because, for the past year and change, they have justified Kiffin's arrogance and cheered him on as he took shots at Florida and accused Urban Meyer of cheating. All you heard from them is how gutsy and gangsta Kiffin is. Hire a gangsta, and it won't be long before he does something gangsta to you. Their successful results encourage university presidents to roll the dice on someone like Kiffin, who spit so much game during his short time at Tennessee that it gained the fading program enough national exposure to warrant Lil Wayne's penning this lyric: "Smoke weed, talk smack like Lane Kiffin." A coach whose career-defining "wins" were close losses to Florida and Alabama wound up in a song by a Grammy-winning rap artist?
