most hated coach. :bounce:

I couldn't be happier and cannot wait for the season to start.

Kiffin unfazed by early missteps at Tennessee

Kiffin's comments about Meyer earned him the moniker "Boy Blunder" from a number of football analysts and newspaper columnists in the South, and the distinction as "most hated SEC football coach" on online message boards.

But after 17 seasons of the mild-mannered Phillip Fulmer mostly being on the receiving end of ribbing from coaches - especially former Florida and current South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier - Vols fans (like cboy4) are cheering the change.

"The way he went about it may have been a little too far, but I like the fact that he's firing on that rivalry again," said Nick Meals, a 29-year-old fan from Maryville. "He knows exactly what he's doing. He's saying, 'We're not scared of anybody."'

On the December day he was introduced as Tennessee's coach, Kiffin promised to Vols fans something to treasure: a win over the Gators, their most-hated foe. :applause:

2. Well I'm sure acting like a jerk

Will go over real well when they are 0-fer in the conference. Kiffin doesn't impress me as a good coach. Not sure why Tennessee hired him. He's not even as good as Bill Callahan who we all know was SOOOO successful at Nebraska.
