Lane Kiffin Thinks You Stretch Like A Wuss

Tennessee Volunteer quarterback Jonathan Crompton was interviewed about how the offseason workouts have gone so far and what Lane Kiffin has added to the process that Phil Fulmer didn’t do.

SN: What’s the biggest difference between playing for Lane Kiffin and playing for Phil Fulmer?
JC: Intensity. We have so many ways that we compete against each other, and that makes it more fun. It’s been a really enjoyable few months. The whole team is having a blast playing for Coach Kiffin.

SN: What’s an example of that?
JC: I mean, everything is about competing. The way we warm up is completely different. Even stretching. When the team goes offense versus defense, we’re always trying to beat the other guy. It’s not just go through the drill and practice ends. It makes it more fun to go out there.

SN: How do you compete in stretching?
JC: It’s just the mindset of it that Coach is trying to show us. He’ll say, ‘Do you want the guy next to you doing a better job stretching than you are?’ No. You don’t want that guy doing anything better or harder than you. He’s trying to get that to carry over to everything.

The rest of the article is pretty standard stuff, but worth reading if you’re a Tennessee fan. I bet I can read it faster than you can! Ready, GO!

God, I hope last year was just a bad year and Crompton isn’t the complete fuck up he appeared to be. He was 50 kinds of awful, but signs are pointing to an improvement this year. At least he seems to have learned when to keep his mouth shut.

SN: Do you think Coach has embarrassed the program or Tennessee with some of the things he’s done?
JC: No comment. Like I said, we just focus on what’s going on here.

Man, I really drew the short straw this year. Both my teams have all new coaching staffs, complete overhauls of offensive and defensive schemes, head coaches that can’t seem to make their mouths work right, unsteady quarterback situations… I need a hug.
