You read stuff like this part of an interview with Junior and you can’t help but wonder how oblivious Mike Hamilton had to be when he made the hire in the first place.
ANDREA KREMER: When you came into Knoxville, the first thing that you preached was loyalty and togetherness. Now you’re leaving a year later and there’s no loyalty and you’re about to break up togetherness.

He continues to fail upwards. It really is a great American success story. So, I’m thinking if USC doesn’t w0rk out, he’ll be the Governor of California by 2014…President Kiffin by 2020?
