Devil's Advocate: Lane Kiffin Knows Exactly What He Is Doing, Part 2

by mlmintampa on Sep 20, 2009 7:53 PM EDT in Florida Football

"It worked perfectly," Kiffin said. "It took all the pressure off the players. We played the No. 1 team in the nation with no pressure on them. ... It was all on me. We were 30-point underdogs in this place and it really helped them go out and play ball."

You may think Lane Kiffin is a bastard, but he is a magnificent bastard. He has one of the greatest defensive coaches of modern football on his staff, and he managed to avoid embarrassment against one of his biggest rivals. Of course, who knows what Saban will do to him and Spurrier might ignore his golf bag for a week to game plan for the Kiffins. But, like I said last week, the guy knows what he is doing. The SEC needs to get their punches in now while the Vols play with only 10 guys on offense.

give me a break

This is a joke right, Kiffin made a fool out of himself. His team still lost the game, the only reason they wernt blown out is becuase Tenn. played the game to keep it close but not to actually win. This is Tenn were talking about here, not Vanderbilt. If Florida ever becomes such a joke that losing by 10 is considered magnificent ill be pretty depressed watching us play.

Your post was good, but could have been so much better

maybe it’s because you have the flu. You should ask your coach to diagnose that for you.

Ball, oskie, cover, block, cut and slice, pursue and gang tackle... for this is the WINNING EDGE.

Coaches dont diagnose players being sick, team doctors do that job, the coach just relays that to the media, since he is paid millions while the dr’s are paid thousands meyer gets to talk to the media on who is sick. why dont u go talk trash about mack brown while ur at it since Colt Mccoy has the flu also and its already been made public to the media. I guess he preparing for a bad game saturday.
