The House of Blue

I wonder what he's making at USC.. Wasn't he making 300k at UK. Let's say he's making 450k at USC. Man that's essentially the same as making 300k living in Lexington. SoCal is not a cheap place to live...

Having a UTer on our staff is a little like having a tiger as a pet. No mice, but never quite comfortable going to sleep

And what happens to his career if Lane hasn't learned his lesson and he lands the program and that staff in trouble with the NCAA...again!

To me its just crazy that he turned down going home to Alabama (THE PROGRAM IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL) and learning from a vastly superior coach in Sabin for Lane Kiffin and a program fresh off probation.

I like that... I love "T" as a recruiter. People can say what they want (like they are on other sites) but "T" is the best we've got especially down south. IMO to be a good recruiter you must have a good personality and "T" has a great personality plus he can say "I've won a National Title". Just like others have said, he won't have problems making a name as a good coach out there... USC IMO could have played with BAMA or LSU this year. By the end of the year they were very good, Lane is a very good coach he's just a Douche bag of a person... "T" will do well at SC, I just hope Joker can find someone with a good personality and credentials to be the wr coach.

I honestly like the idea of going after another young guy with a good resume. This is a big loss, i'm not sure we can find another as good as "T" was.

Why did it have to be Kiffin.....sux. He will be missed.

Normally I would never dog an assistant for taking a better job, but Kiffin has it in him to ruin Tee's career. If....nah....when the Trojans get busted again for cheating, I hope Kiffin doesn't take down Tee with him.

Honestly, I could see Tee getting several more years of solid experience and making a run at one of the top assistant jobs at TN. He's a guy I really think they'd get fired up about. Maybe years down the road, we could see his name tossed around as a HC candidate in Vol Nation.

Sad to see him go, but here's to hoping we get someone really solid on the recruiting trail to replace him. That's what always sucked about Joker becoming HC...he was one of our best recruiters and now he doesn't get sent out nearly as much for obvious reasons.

Best post yet.

I don't post very often, but I have been reading for sometime now. I bleed blue and will always want uk to be good but the reality of it is Kentucky will never be a great football school we will never get the talent needed to succeed in the mighty sec we will have some good years 7 maybe 8 wins but nothing more. Tee was a very well know guy for recruiting but I was not impressed with his results on the field. I wish him well, maybe it's that he could of landed the high profile recruits but they wanted no part in coming to a frankly a lame football school. I know I wouldn't I would much rather go to a bama or Florida or for that matter south Carolina before uk. I hope we can make that jump but I never see it and I am not saying we haven't had good even a few great players but one or two at a time is not going to cut it. And they were under rated from the start only reason we landed them. I wish the program the best and want who ever is in charge atthe time to succeed but we all see us getting to a level we won't reach. And if we do I will gladly eat every piece of that crow.
