Lame Kiffin: Tennessee Should Have Beaten UCLA By Couple Of Touchdowns

There is no doubt that Tennessee has some of the classiest fans in college football. It's too bad they are being led by one of the biggest jerks in all of college football (next to Chetey Petey) who has proven nothing as a head coach.
From what I saw Lane coached a stupid game. He looked Dorrellian when Tennessee drove down the ball near our goal line running it up the middle. He coached like a whimp and then like an idiot wasted his timeout on challenging an obvious fumble recovery by Jonathan Franklin.
Apparently he sounded like a total classless jerk after the game. Instead of giving credit to UCLA defense, he went out of his way to spin his doofus moves away by saying it was his players who didn't execute his game plan. Then he served up the following doozy. This is a rough transcript from his post game show posted on UTSports.com (the interviews linked on the right hand side bar):
At the end of the day you know we should win that game by couple of touchdowns, we should win that game if we don't turn the ball over ...like we know we don't make the mistakes ... because defensively I think we gave up 170 or 180 yards ... you know and it was very dominant.
Seriously, that was jaw dropping. It's been a while I have heard a coach sound like such a classless d'bag without taking any responsibility for his mistakes, throwing his players under the bus, and then showing total disrespect to the opponent.
I wish Tennessee fans all the luck ... I do wish they recognize how they have a total jackass leading their football program ... who will flush it down the toilet. At least Karl Dorrell had some class, Lame has none of it.
GO BRUINS.

honestly though, did we expect different?
All of us here at BN knew he was a total a-hole. This just shows the rest of the country what a jerk he is
Has there ever been a player better than Detlef Schrempf?
I am still shocked
I thought he’d be a little chastened. This kind of arrogance even without the scoreboard it’s freaking insane. WhoTF this guy think he is?
maybe if your "game plan"
didn’t involve four runs inside the 10 yard line against one of the best defensive fronts in the country with the game on the line, you could blame your players. Nice playcalling Karl Lame.

bucknellbruin, I agree with your statement. The only thing, I would like to ask is that we move on from the KD era. We ‘ve got a great coach and staff, an enthusiastic team that is willing to go through brick walls for them. I truely believe KD was in way over his head and that wasn’t entirely his fault. Some of the blame lays at the feet of the Dan Guerrero. Kiffin is a smug son of a bitch and Cheaty Petey is just plain arogant. I don’t think KD was any of those. He’s taken his lumps and he gone. Just my thoughts.
He's in Gainesville next
I think we’re all Gator fans next week. Hope Florida beats Lame by 60.
Although...
If Tenn beats Florida by 60 that should help our strength of schedule in the BCS polls at the end of the season (hey, we’re undefeated now- I can dream).

Darth Vader was right
I’m no Al Davis fan, but he was right in firing that Kiffin boy. Al said he was a liar and couldn’t coach. I predict that the Vol fans will be trying to hire Jon Gruden next year if he hasn’t already replaced the arrogant one—Charlie “I never played the game” Weiss at the Golden Dome.
Right
Gruden or Meyer. I think that Meyer is still a dream but Gruden might do it. ND has to make some concessions either way but they are going to throw money at Meyer, watch. Now is the time to take his “dream job.” If not someone else is going to get in there and start to win.
Troy will fall.

Vols are stuck w/ him for awhile
He has a $7.5 mil buyout. Ouch.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day
When the Raiders hired him, I wasn’t too surprised because what self-respecting coach would take that job. When the accusations started flying, I thought it was Old Man Davis going nuts again, but given what has happened since Kiffin went to TN, there may be some truth to those accusations.

He purportedly went on to say...
“I mean, we bought the refs, they gave us 2 on an invisible safety, they gave us 5 downs at the end, they kept UCLA from the end zone with timely interesting calls. I suited up guys who, because of how I recruited ‘em, shouldn’t be eligible. I did everything Cheat Pete taught me. That means we should have won by 14 or more.”
And by the way, apparently they didn’t catch that part of the transcript where he congratulates the Bruins on a guttly little performance. Prince plays with a broken jaw, Kiffen jaws with a broken playbook.
yes, but...
don’t cut off your nose to spite your face. As much as I hate Lame, we need UT to turn in a decent season for strength of schedule – let’s face it, SDSU and K-State won’t do it. I’m a UT fan for the rest of the season.

Why do care about strength of schedule this year?
It seems like the goals this year are to make a bowl game, be competitive in every game, and move up the Pac-10 pecking order. I don’t see how strength of schedule matters for a 6-6, 7-5, or really even an 8-4 team.
If anything, it helps a Cal or a SUC, who may need the marginal benefit of a better strength of schedule to move up in the top-10.

hmmm
Nestor already said it, but Lame could learn some lessons in humility from the fans. Then again he is a transplant and not raised in Knox.
A coach is someone who can give correction without causing resentment. John Wooden
Kiffin is in over his head
I’m glad you brought this up, Nestor. This guy really is a JACKASS — the only reason he’s gotten all these coaching opportunities is because of his father. He also owes much of his ‘knowledge’ to Coach Chow. He reminds me of Don Shula’s sons who were thought to be like their father at one point, only to fizzle after a couple monumental assignments in the ‘big leagues’….
I actually felt bad for him after the Al Davis-Raiders episode. He probably deserved Al’s wrath, in fact I’m almost positive he did.
Clearly our Defense RATTLED his offense, and he doesn’t have the decency or the class to acknowledge that. He was just bitter in the end because he lost his first REAL test at home… wait til he gets on the road, TN will get thrashed this coming week..
People think I’m exagerrating when I say $C people are real pricks. They really prove to be EVERY TIME.
‘you can hear… from far and near… !’
W.S. Montano Class of 1994
Florida Game
After Tennessee gets blown out by Florida next week, I can hear Lane saying "yeah we should have won the Florida game by at least four touchdowns. Good luck with that Lane.
Monte needs to take his boy out behind the woodshed
and beat some sense into the boy.
Seriously, Lame and Ogre seem pretty bitter about UCLA. They still haven’t gotten over 13-9.
yeah, he was the head coach at Ole Miss that year
Has there ever been a player better than Detlef Schrempf?
