Muschamp supposedly has a new conference scheduled for this morning, but it may be to assure targeted recruits that he's not going anywhere.

So what are Kiffen's ethical issues? I know nothing about him other than I've heard his name before.

I'm sure someone else can answer this better, but off the top of my head: he talked trash about all the other schools in the SEC from day one, signed some high profile players under shady circumstances, UT was in the news for it's possibly illegal use of a hostess program for new recruits, and he had three players arrested for armed robbery. All in one season.

If I were Tennessee, I'd throw all my cash at Nick Saban.

This has completely pushed McGwire off the sports talk shows here. Granted, we're not a baseball town.

It occurred to me as I was reading about Ari Fleischer handling this and having a Crisis Management group - it seems like if you got enough clients you could make it an organizational strategy to spread your clients' crises apart, in order for one to be overshadowed by the next. Doesn't necessarily work on spur of the moment things, but I can see the attraction in this situation. You can tell your client "let's get this out now, because we've got another bombshell coming next week." Maybe that's far-fetched, but it's something that popped in my head as soon as I heard about all this last night.

No, because a couple of days after accepting the Texas Tech job the Tennessee job opened up.
