Not to mention his apparent pride at getting into trouble with the NCAA.

Lane Kiffin is a vile POS. He doesn't only make college coaches look bad....he makes the human race look bad.

It's funny to here him described in this manner because normally that is how he comes off, but did you see his 60 second press conference in Knoxville to tell Tennessee he was leaving? He looked like a deer in the headlights, a scared little kid that was crapping his pants... As he should of because they were P.O.ed.

At least he gave them the courtesy of a press conference, I guess.

I don't hate them for leaving. As the others said: they made business decisions. I just don't respect when they didn't have guts to say "Hey, I'm leaving, nothing personal against you but this is my dream, etc" At least, try to soften the blow instead of speaking for less than 2 minutes like Geno did or like Kiffin (or even Petrino when he only left a letter in the locker room instead of facing his players).

It's more how they acted in their previous jobs. For example: Geno was so inept in selecting his OC and DC and then when he moved, instead of doing the right thing by taking these guys to Auburn, he left them and forced ISU to pay these guys (actually now it's just McFarland but we're still paying the salary difference for Wayne Bolt). With Kiffin: there's an unwritten rule that you're not supposed to raid the recruiting class in your former school, but if what is said about Ed Orgeron yesterday was true, that won't sit well with a lot of people.
