Highly recruited, commits to Kentucky, but he'll probably bail after one year. Where's the loyalty there? And should there really be any loyalty? I mean college is to prepare you for the next step in your life and if a player like Wall feels he's ready for that next step who's to say he shouldn't go for it.

But, of course, it's not about the one or two players who may bolt early it's about the hundreds of others who won't/can't, it's about the faculty, the fans, the community, all those people who expected Kiffin to be their guy only to watch him run to USC. I can understand their frustration.

What really strikes me as odd is how this guy became qualified for the job in the first place? He's been pretty mediocre as a head coach. I know he wasn't their first, second, third, or fourth choice but still there weren't any other options.
Interesting side note that Lakers owner Jerry Buss reportedly paid Kiffin's buyout to get him out of Tennessee.

thats what i was getting at, alot of people made commitment they might not have otherwise done unless he sold them on it

do you know what type of process the ncaa has for hiring coaches do they do the minority coach interviews, i can't remember, and seriously who else did they look at it seems kinda of fast to land on kiffin the guy has never really proven anything, this was his chance and it would have been interesting to see what happened, now we will have to wait a few years until all of carroll's kids are gone to see what kifin can do. and it's not like it's gonna be hard to recruit to usc.

My buddy in Gainesville emailed this to me earlier. Some Tennessee fan posted it. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time.

What has he done to deserve an NFL HC job and two, TWO, primo college HC jobs in 24 months? This guy is a dud. He must make a helluva sales pitch because he's shown diddly-poo in terms of football qualifications.
