Lane Kiffin Schadenfreude Open Comment Thread

Boy, you walk away from the internet for a couple of hours and everything goes haywire!

Purely for the sake of consolidating the fun, I've set up this Lane Kiffin schadenfreude open comment thread. Feel free to savage Boy Wonder here . . . just keep it clean, please.

You know what? Screw that; feel free to strip the bark off of that obnoxious little bastard all you like. No one can say Lane didn't have it coming.

Oh, and Tennessee fans . . . I told you so!

Go 'Dawgs!

I was talking on the phone...

to my mom, who is a Gator fan, and decided to check ESPN. What the hey, nothing is gonna happen that is going to be so distracting that I can’t carry on a phone conversation while reading it, right?

Nope. Wrongo. I gasped audibly, cackled in glee, and then had to cover for myself. Oh Lord, why? Why Hello Kiffy, when there are so many competent, classy coaches out there who would take the USC job in a heartbeat? Do they place that much weight on hair gel out there on the far side of the world?

The ladylike side of me

thinks she should write notes of condolence to those UT fans who are sweet gracious lovely people (I happen to know a couple) and feels real real bad for those awfully nice men I rode the shuttle bus after the last UT/UGA game at Athens.
So to those good decent people among the UT faithful, let me offer my most sincere condolences. We know you had nothing to do with hiring Lane and some of you weren’t happy about it and you truly have our sympathies.
To those rotten obnoxious classless creeps amongst the UT faithful – HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.

I'm not sure

… but I don’t think classes at UT start until tomorrow. It’s an odd quirk in the NCAA rulebook that you aren’t technically enrolled until classes start. A QB at Notre Dame took advantage of that rule a couple years ago. He played against GT, but was able to transfer without forfeiting a year of eligibility because classes don’t start until mid-September at ND.

To put this in a positive spin for Georgia fans, no one will be focusing on who Mark Richt decides to hire as defensive coordinator. It should allow him plenty of room to hopefully get things done. Hopefully he gets it done down in Orlando at the coaching convention.

From Matt Hinton we have:
But now, barely a year into a college head-coaching career marked so far by bush league spats with rival coaches, a total disregard for minor NCAA regulations and a meh 7-6 record on the field? After Tennessee rolled the dice on his sketchy resumé and dug in deep to give him the most expensive group of assistant coaches ever assembled, including an unprecedented million-dollar deal for his aging father? To return to a school very likely to be walloped by NCAA sanctions in a matter of months? I didn’t think cajones came in that size.

Correction: The only bigger pair tonight belongs to USC athletic director Mike Garrett, who found the fortitude to hire a relatively inexperienced controversy magnet willing to walk away from one of the premiere jobs in the nation after a single season. It’s really kind of perfect in a way, if absurdity can achieve perfection.

Tennessee, you have officially been treated like a Bowling Green-level stepping stone. The coaching ball is in your court.

That is certainly plausible. . .

Aside from the less desirable aspects of his personality (which have been noted here at length), he just doesn’t seem like a very good coach, so why hire him? and hire him? and hire him? Would that I could be successful only 33% of the time and keep my job — or get another of my choice that pays more.

David Cutcliffe was a good coach at Ole Miss . . .

. . . but he was no Steve Spurrier (and I wouldn’t go so far as to say Duke football is relevant, although it is better).

Muschamp’s not going anywhere. Gruden’s next coaching gig will be in the NFL. Patterson is a possibility, but it’s late in the game to be making a move for anyone who already has a college head coaching stint.

They won’t get stuck with Kippy (much as I would like to see that happen), but I doubt the Vols can get a big name now in the time they have left. I’m just glad Tuberville took the Texas Tech job when he did.

Muschamp knows he’s going to be the head coach at the real UT. There’s no need to settle for the cubic zirconium version, particularly if it means donning a much, much worse shade of orange.

Could we honestly be looking at starting the 2010 season with Steve Adazzio and Kippy Brown staring at one another across the field?

You just know Charlie Strong is kicking himself for taking the Louisville job.

But Kyle...

ESPN says Tennessee is a destination job just like Notre Dame and Alabama.

And we know they could never be wrong.

Holy Shit...I think they are looting the Food King!

They are going after R.C. and Moonpies! I seriously can’t believe the mob scene. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. We are better than them. Why? Because we are Georgia and they are not. Also because we don’t have what looks like the end of Animal House playing out at Butts right now.

Hey now...

Don’t hate on the Natty Light. When you can get a 12 pack for $7, that’s just good personal budget management.

It's all I could think of...that and dueling banjos.

I heard my neighbor(A UT Fan) out cussing in front of his house on his cell phone. I wonder if he will make good on his threat of getting out his inflatable Smokey lawn decoration and hanging a sign on it saying: Lane Kiffin hates Dogs and Old People. Too funny!

Yes

But you can pretend like Natty is a better beer because its brewed by Anheuser-Busch.

Although I do fondly remember 50 cent Pabst pints from my college days. There is no better deal on restaurant/bar beer.

Fond memories here of the 1986 Super Bowl party in 450 Reed Hall, featuring Drewry’s. Once we claimed the deposit back on our bottles, we may have made a few bucks.

Can anyone tell me why Muschamp

would consider the HC gig at UT? Aside from the HC gig now as opposed to when Brown retires, what reason does he have to go?

Kiffy's New Digs

Out here on the Left Coast, where we are all still awake, the Trojan Faithful are warming up to Kiffy and Family as ruthless recruiters, and exchanging rumors that Norm Chow is returning to USC as OC. Not a lot of sympathy for UT. Another installment in The Grapes of Wrath, I guess. The southeast and southwest exist as labor pools for LaLa Land.

I am going to give you my cell phone number. I slept through the whole thing. I am crushed. If something like this ever happens again, you gotta call me. I’m serious!

We were concerned for your health, Dave

If I’d called you at 10:00 last night and said, “Lane Kiffin just left for USC, took Tennessee’s coaching staff and recruiting class with him, and left a guy named Kippy as the Vols’ interim head coach, causing rioting in the streets of Knoxville!”, you’d have been so jacked you’d have eaten a quantity of butter that would have killed a Clydesdale.

Wow, just typing that summary made me laugh out loud—-literally, I laughed out loud—-all over again. Describing it accurately sounds like parody; anyone who wasn’t there would have to greet it with, “No way!” The truth sounds like an exaggeration for the sake of humor.

There isn’t a word in English or German adequate to describe this feeling. Ladies and gentlemen, we need a new word for this altogether: Kiffinfreude.

Go 'Dawgs!

Kiffinfreude

It is the only word to describe this. Again, this will be another day at work where absolutely nothing will be achieved. At least I’m well rested.

And...

I was correct about that mushroom cloud rising over the Cumberland Plateau. I just had no clue that the coach was also the bombardier. BOOM!

Kyle, I think you may have to find a new word...

as Kiffinfreude sounds very much (exactly, actually) like kiffenfreude…which would mean joy from being smoking marijuana. What about Lanevergnuegen?

by hailtogeorgia on Jan 13, 2010 9:08 AM EST up reply actions  

That, of course, should read simply...

joy from smoking marijuana…no “being” necessary.

by hailtogeorgia on Jan 13, 2010 9:08 AM EST up reply actions  

It will not shock you to learn that I had no idea there was such a word . . .

. . . but I think that makes it absolutely perfect.

Seriously, if I told you Lane Kiffin smoked pot with Al Davis, Mike Hamilton, or Mike Garrett the day before being hired at Oakland, Tennessee, and USC (which I am not telling you, by the way), wouldn’t that make more sense than whatever the truth is?

“Dude, I could totally coach your football team! Just don’t tell my dad I smoke pot, O.K.?”

by T Kyle King on Jan 13, 2010 9:41 AM EST up reply actions  

Well, I won't tell you that such a word...

exists in the dictionary, but I assure you that no one would have trouble understanding what you meant if you said it to them. I think your example is perfect! I’ve thought from the outset that it was funny that his last name is a homonym for the german verb “kiffen” meaning “to smoke pot”…and that word, I assure you, is in the dictionary.

by hailtogeorgia on Jan 13, 2010 10:00 AM EST up reply actions  

I just figured it out...

Lane Kiffin’s win over Georgia is like that one fifth-grader on the playground who would sneak up behind you, rabbit punch you really hard, then run like hell because he knows you’ll kill him if you catch him.

Middle school supplies plenty of good similes for Kiffygate.

Tennessee: Take Mike Leach...

….puhleeeeze. Leach is so arrogant, he’ll think the Kiffen move was actually done FOR him.

Between flying out to ASU and to Oregon in a couple of years, I'd say we've done our part.

I think Florida should start pulling their weight. I believe they have some open dates before the WLOCP for just such an occasion.
