The reason i said Kiffin leaving Tenn is worse then Chizik leaving ISu is that Chizik was formally hired on Dec 13th and ISU Formally announced Coach Rhoads on Dec. 18th. That gave Coach Rhoads about a week to call all the recruits that were already committed and talk with all the players and then during the quiet period create a recruiting strategy and who to target as well as hiring assist. coaches.
Whoever is hired at Tenn is going to be up against the clock. The recruits are bailing on Tenn by the second, they've already lost 2 4* def. lineman and it will continue. This is going to have a serious ripple down affect on the recruiting world as U of Tenn will lose some significant players for this year and they will be bumping some other very good players to other schools. Tennessee has 21 days until signing day to hire a head coach, assistants, and assemble a recruiting class.....
Tennessee is going to get screwed over big time.....But losing Kiffin might just be like ISU losing Chizik, although it hurt initially, the program may be in better hands for the long haul....
