Oh yeah and this is what Terdell Sands had to say about Kiffin as well...

Raiders defensive tackle Terdell Sands is from Tennessee, so the topic of new Vols coach Lane Kiffin was quick to come up in an interview with his hometown paper.
Sounds like Sands wants to do a number on Kiffin's face they way he did Shane Lechler's last season.
"I think he'll do a good job at Tennessee because his personality will fit better at that level," Sands said in a Chattanooga Times Free Press story Friday. "You can't cuss and fuss at grown men and persuade them to do things the way you can a college kid. But he'll be a good recruiter of young players because he's a good salesman.
"I just don't think he needs to be an NFL coach. I didn't care for him too much because he came in with the attitude that he was a top dog even though he hadn't earned any stripes yet."
Sands was even nastier to former offensive line assistant James Kregg, and he didn't play on that side of the ball.
"That man is a clown," Sands said. "He gets no respect because he quit on us in the middle of the season (actually December). He jumped ship. Maybe some of his guys liked him when he helped with the offensive line, but I've got no use for anybody that quits like that."
Sands' more immediate concern must be to please head coach Tom Cable, who has all but called out Sands and the other returning tackles -- Gerard Warren and Tommy Kelly -- to play better against the run this season.
Sands has been a disappointment ever since signing a four-year, $17 million contract before the 2007 season. With Cable high on new addition Ryan Boschetti, Sands could very easily get cut in training camp if he doesn't get it going.
Then again, he could get cut even sooner than that. Last year, the Raiders released veteran safety Stuart Schweigert in May after deciding he was replaceable by the new crop of rookies.
If Boschetti and undrafted pickup Desmond Bryant look good at minicamo next weekend, Sands better make sure he looks even better.
LOL!!! thats you!!!
