    The school HAD a good recruiting class. Several are going elsewhere now. This year's class is a big mess now.

    Dear Dumbass,

    I'm thrilled he fucked them. I hope it sets them back years. Might make it easier for my team to actually win something meaningful for once. And my only tie to Pittsburgh is that I'm a Penguins fan.

    But other than all that, you're spot on ... as usual.

    What makes you think the school will keep its recruiting class? And if it does, that means those kids just wanted to go to UT and is no reflection on Kiffin.

    Why is Southern Cal a better job than Tennessee? Easier conference? Easier recruiting?

    At Tennessee you are the king of the entire state. At Southern Cal, Kiffin might be the 20th biggest sports figure in the city.

    Now, it may be a better situation for Kiffin, who may not be cut out for this sort of work, but if it's a better job -- it's not by much.

    I totally agree about going where you have ties. I'm all for that. Like I said, if this happened 4-5 years down the road, no hard feelings.

    Right now Tennessee fans feel like the high school girl that just got fucked in the back seat of a car by a boy saying "Oh yeah, I'll love you forever" followed by the sound of his zipper going up and "I want to break up."

    Name 19 sports figures in LA who are bigger than Kiffin right now. Not saying it's not true. Just curious.

    And I also think USC > Tennessee. But not by much.

    Yes, we can all tell that you don't care about this by the fact that you are so angry and are hurling around insults and pounding your fist on the table like a child...... ::)

    And the idea that Tennessee has a good recruting class is exactly right ... 24 hours ago. They've already lost nearly all their early enrolees and the vultures are circling over the rest of their class.

    They're straight fucked for this recruiting class unless and until they make a kickass hire.

    There was plenty of body-language, tell-tale-sign type things that indicated Kiffin hated being the focus of attention for the whole state.

    Ace, it is a better job because the conference is much easier to win than the SEC, who or what is the competition for recruits, almost in the entire West? I mean seriously -- USC is THE dominant program out west -- Tennessee is a big fish in the southeast, but a big fish that has to share a pond with Georgia, Florida, Florida State, LSU and Alabama just to name a few.

    And the fact that he's the tenth most popular sports guy in town -- that helps make it a better job because the pressure and expectations are less than at Tennessee.

    Yes, the recruiting class will lose some guys but let's wait and see what it actually looks like. My suspicion is that it will be pretty good once it all shakes out.

    Today, Kiffin is up there. But after a couple months, he will be behind 2-3 Lakers, 2-3 Angels, 2-3 Dodgers, 1-2 surfers, maybe a hockey player. 5-6 former NFL players.

    Carroll was slick and got good press. Kiffin is the opposite.
