Giddy Teenage Boy Resembling Tennessee Coach Lane Kiffin Calls Urban Meyer a Cheater

HAHAHAHA YES

He’s such a rebel..

The sad thing is that Jeremy Foley and Urban Blight are being such a$$wipes about the whole thing. The first thing the boys did is go crying to Mike Slive.

I am embarrased. This idiot coach needs to take the SEC ethics test before throws egg in his own face.  Also, did Lance Thompson really sign 8 of those bammers for bama?  I thought Lance quit bama over a month ago.  If those guys really wanted to follow Lance, then they would have.  The fact is that Lance was a nobody before Bama picked him up.  Little Coach Kiffin needs to grow up!

These comments are being blown out of proportion.  Clearly Kiffin is simply trying to fire up the fan base.  Even though Kiffin has poked at the OBC, and the Nicktator, it seems that he has chosen Florida and Meyer as his main rival.

I think these kinds of things are actually good for rivalries.  It’s like Spurrier’s comments in the 90s.  You need these kinds of sniping at each other to make the rivalry that much more heated. 

What’s interesting to me is that Meyer kind of seems like a crybaby.  First his overblown complaining about the UGA TD, and now he claims that Kiffin slandered him (Meyer).  Kiffin is obviously making progress because both Bama and Florida are upset with him. 

Porklift, progress will only be made when Kiffin is able to actually beat Florida or Bama. Right now all he’s doing is providing them with bulletin board material….not real smart when you have to take your team into the swamp to play the defending national champs with Tim Tebow and 11 starters returning on defense. Gators 45, UT 10……lesson learned

raefordwall: Florida may win the game next season, but I doubt it will be that lopsided. First, UT’s offense will be the style the players were originally recruited for, and we’ll then find that we do, in fact, have solid QBs. That’s what I think we’ll see. Last season, the offensive system was the cause of the poor play on offense, and it wasn’t only the QBs. That inability to master the complex offense Clawson was trying to implement caused them to back off to only a handful of plays. Combine those things, and you have no hope of success. This year, Kiffin will re-instate a pro-style offense like all the players were recruited for, and we’ll see a full playbook, with balance. No more games with 8 passing attempts.

Second, UT’s offense will only be better. They were 4th-ranked nationally last season under Chavis. Most of them are back, including all of the secondary, with the addition of a boat-load of new talent in the 2009 class, which is very heavy on defenders, including the nations #2 DB according to Rivals. I doubt anybody will put that many points up on them, and the offense won’t be so pathetic that they give the ball back in our own territory all the time.

Finally, Florida lost Harvin, and every year, Meyer’s offense becomes less and less effective, as defenses get used to it. It’s the latest fad, and it’s starting to get old already.

No, a Florida win (if there is one) will probably be more along the lines of 28-24 or something.

Porklift: I totally agree. Meyer and his cronies are really trying to get mileage our of this, beyond what it’s really worth.

Also, I suspect Kiffin really thought what he was saying about it being against the rules, was correct. I’d be willing to bet that either a) somebody on the staff he trusts told him it was against the rules, or b) it was against some Pac 10 rule, and he assumed it was the same everywhere (that’s a total speculation). I seriously doubt he would have made such a statement, even in jest, if he had any reason to doubt it was right. Besides, we all know Meyer’s a cheatin’ lyin’ scoundrel, right?

Also, where bulletin board material is concerned. Does anybody think Meyer or the Gators would have given a second thought to Georgia’s celebration, if they hadn’t lost? I don’t. If Florida had beaten Georgia two years ago, they would have just laughed about the celebration. They were only insulted crybabies about it because it distracted them from the fact that they got spanked.

What Kiffin needs to do now, is take the team into the Swamp in September, and beat ’em like a red-headed step-child. Then they can whine all they want.

Seems to me Steve Spurrier accused Kiffin of recruiting violations on day one, wondering if Kiffiin had taken the test before he started calling recruits. Nobody whined and cried about that. Kiffin just responded that he had taken and passed the test. End of story. Meyer could just as easily have come out and said, "Calling a recruit, while he’s visiting another campus, isn’t against any rules. Maybe Coach Kiffin needs to read them?" End of story.

Hey Urbie! Why not just jab back? Why go whining to the authorities, and screaming "slander!" Can’t take it? I remember when I was eight. "I’m gonna tell my/your mom/dad," was our answer too.

Vol85: Yes, the game will be that lopsided. UF 65, UT 14

I could care less about Tenn., but it sound like Kiffin is a crybaby about recruiting, just like RichRod is at SCum. 

"Finally, Florida lost Harvin, and every year, Meyer’s offense becomes
less and less effective, as defenses get used to it. It’s the latest
fad, and it’s starting to get old already."

Florida’s point totals have risen each season under Meyer beginning in 2005. PPG from each year of Meyer’s tenure:

2005: 28.5
2006: 29.7
2007: 42.4
2008: 43.6

The math, she says you are inaccurate in this statement.

So – Porklift

I guess you have no problem with me if I get in front of a TV camera and call your wife a cheating whore.

And for Vol85 – UF folks had no problem with Ga. pulling there little stunt – except that their coach lied about it.

You guys are a joke – hope to see you in Gainesville and Tuscaloosa.

Oh – BTW, your wife is a whore.

You guys are a joke – hope to see you in Gainesville and Tuscaloosa.

Oh – BTW, just kidding – see, I got all my buddies here and just wanted to get them excited.

You guys are a joke – hope to see you in Gainesville and Tuscaloosa.

Lane Kiffin has pie all over his face.  He’s had to  eat crow, and the only way to redeem himself is to kick Florida and Bama’s butt’s this fall.  Hey, Lane, dont you think the SEC is tough enough without engineering this kind of emotion against your team.  This is the SEC my man, not the NFL.  Excuse me, I meant Not For Lane.

The last thing a guy with a Pac-10 resume needs to do is walk into the SEC and start calling other coaches cheaters.  It’s beyond brain-dead.  The statements don’t just lack intelligence — they lack sentience.

Listen to the recruits he’s bragging about.  They talk about being used like Reggie Bush — does that mean they get the condo and plasma TV deal too?  Any way you slice it, Kiffin and UT walk away from these comments losers.

It takes real SEC fan-mania blinders to find a silver lining in these comments.  Keep it up, UT fans.  You are sounding about as brilliant as your new coach.

All this is because you morons don’t think Kiffin knows what he’s doing. Ha! He’s not only got UT fans fired up, by being a coach with a pulse, and apparently a huge pair, but he’s got everybody else with their panties in a wad. I’m laughing. Can you hear me?

Gators are so insecure, that his comments have really got them squirming. It’s really quite funny. He’s got all you thin-skinned yahoos really going, doesn’t he?

What really gets your goats, is that when you consider how little time he had to do it, he actually out-recruited Meyer, Saban, and Miles, and everybody else in the conference, and he’s not finished yet. Right now, there’s a lineman named Geathers (still unsigned) on campus, and Rival’s #1 overall recruit (still unsigned) is visiting this weekend. Kid Kiffin just don’t quit, do he?

I don’t know yet whether he will turn out to be a great hire, or a Mike Shula, but so far, he’s kickin @ss, and takin’ names, and I’m enjoying the ride.

Oh yeah, shall.tsn, your points-per-game stat is idiotic. Meyer’s spread offense didn’t even exist at Florida in 2005 and 2006. He was playing with what he had, which was smart. You only have 2007 and 2008 stats to go by, and I could just as easily say I’m right because their yards-per-game decreased. At any rate, two years isn’t enough to prove or disprove a trend. We can, however, apply common sense. His cards are on the table, and other coaches have two full seasons of tape to work with. There has never been an offensive system that defenses haven’t adjusted to within a few years of it’s introduction, and the spread-option is no different. What are you, a Scientologist? You people will believe anything.

Oh, one more thing about your stats, shall.tsn. We’re talking about Meyer’s offense, so you have to factor out the defensive and special teams scores. When you do, you’ll see that their offensive production DID, in fact, decrease.

2007: 40.31 offensive PPG
2008: 39.5 offensive PPG

See? At least know what you’re doing, when you post stats like that.

The math, she says I’m accurate, after all.

"Finally, Florida lost Harvin, and every year, Meyer’s offense becomes less and less effective"

Meyer’s been there 4 years, you said the offense’s production decreases every year, yet you only can fiddle with the statistics to show that the PPG decreased between two of the years.  Not all four.  Like "every year" suggests.

Also take into account that scoring on special teams and defense takes away possessions for the offense… maybe it’s better to look at offensive points per possession if you feel like removing those points from the equation.  I don’t know these statistics, but it’d be more useful to look at then what you did.

Whoops… the math, she’s back to saying you’re inaccurate again.

worm: Yeah, right. I’ve already addressed the "every year" thing. If you can’t understand it, you’re not worth the effort. Go finish your homework. Your mom’s yelling at you. Just in case it helps, though. Meyer wasn’t running "Meyer’s offense" the first two years. He had Zook’s players, and he kept running Zook’s offense until he had his own players.

If you really want to play the stats game so badly, which is just silly, because I make them say whatever I want, you should try putting them into more context, too. For example, how was Florida’s competition this season, compared to last? You know, Auburn and Tennessee both fielded the worst offenses they’ve had in decades. Tennessee handed the ball over to florida on a silver platter at least twice in the red zone.

They played a lot of teams with crappy offenses, which means they got a lot of really good field position (only 3 teams with offenses in the top 50, and 5 teams in the bottom 30). What stats do you want?

worm: Also note that, in spite of the freebies they got from UT this past season, Florida only managed to win 30-6, with just two offensive TDs, while in 2007 they managed to put up 59 points (45 offensve)! That’s a slight decrease, isn’t it?

Boy Lane Kiffin has really looked like a fool in all of this.  First comes calling Urban Meyer a cheater and accusing him of a violation.  Oops, got that one wrong and Lane gets a reprimand from the commissioner of the SEC.  Next UT has to report secondary recruiting violations for two separate recruiting weekends to the NCAA.  Oops, Lane didn’t realize they were violations and Lane gets a letter of admonishment from the UT athletic director.  That is a pretty impressive start. 

I think back to the whole Oakland Raiders situation with Lane and at the time I thought Al Davis was just being the crazy man that he is.  Now even the most ardent UT fan has to begin to wonder about Lane.  Sure the ardent fans are supporting him but that doubt must be creeping in.  Before Lane was fired Al Davis sent him this letter.  When you read the letter it really does seem similar to the first few months on the job for Lane.  Here is the letter:

September 12, 2008

By Hand Delivery and Federal Express

Dear Lane:

Over the past months, you have made a number of public statements that were highly critical of, and designed to embarrass and discredit, this organization, its players and its coaches. I left you alone during training camp in hopes that you would cease your immature and destructive campaign.

However, you continue to make public statements that are critical of the organization, its players as whole as well as individual players. Such statements constitute conduct detrimental to the Raiders and I will no longer stand silently by while you continue to hurt this organization.

Further, your contract is quite clear that you work "subject to the direction and supervision of the General Partner" and that the General Partner has "the exclusive right to do all things, which in its sole discretion are necessary to maintain and improve the Club, the football organization and their activities."

I realized when I hired you that you were young and inexperienced and that there would be a learning process for you. Your mistakes on player personnel and coaches were overlooked based on our patience with you. But I never dreamt that you would be untruthful in statements to the press as well as on so many other issues. Your actions are those of a coach looking to makes (sic) excuses for not winning, rather than a coach focused on winning.

For example, with the exception of Gibril Wilson, you were involved in recruiting all free agents and determining salaries for them and you were explicit about your desire to sign Javon Walker and DeAngelo Hall amongst others. All were a must to sign in your eyes, Hall, in particular, because he played for Greg Knapp in Atlanta and Knapp gave him high grades. Do not run from that now.

I do realize that you did not want us to draft JaMarcus Russell. He is a great player. Get over it and coach this team on the field, that is what you were hired to do. We can win with this team!

In regards to your recent fabrications about the defense, during the final cuts you made every cut on offense and every cut on defense except for (Fred) Wakefield on defense and (Seth) Wand on offense. Furthermore, during the game Monday night (defensive coordinator) Rob (Ryan) played your Cover-2 defense and we got killed on an approximately 50-yard touchdown pass and an approximately 70-yard gain that led to a field goal.

You meet every week with the defensive coaches to go over both the past game and to get a general feel for what will happen during the week in practice. You have the ability and authority to provide your input during those meetings and the preparation of the game plan. I do not have weekly meetings with Rob-you do.

During the week no one has ever told you what to do on either offense or defense. In addition, no one has ever told you during a game what to do on either offense or defense and you call every play on offense. During a game if you want to blitz more, all you have to do is let Rob know what blitz you want and he will do it.

Although you continue to use the media to express your dissatisfaction with others, no one has publicly pointed out to you that in four preseason games and one regular-season game played this year, your offense has scored one first-half touchdown. That put tremendous pressure on the defense.

I know that you wanted to bring your father in to run the defense and that Monte told me that he wanted to come here even though he as (sic) under contract to Tampa. However I did not want to tamper with another team. In any event that was over seven months ago. Do not now also run from the defense and your responsibilities.

This letter constitutes notice that if you further violate any term of your contract, in any manner whatsoever, you will be terminated for cause. I trust that this will not occur.
