Wonder if Orgeron will phone any reporters who are committed to a KNS career and tell them Adams might have a spot for them if they want to follow him to Southern Cal.

I remember when newspapers were real. Adams is now the Andy Kaufman of sports columnists.

We won't see or hear from you, but we will long read about you in the KNS!
Good one.

Why am I not laughing? On the other hand, it is NOT a bad thing that our Orange team will not have to be around John Adams

Too friggin funny! Well done Mr. Adams.
but it did bring up the unmentionable's name and memeory in my head. Now I'll have to take a xanax to sleep. But it was a classic.

Wow...I like John Adams even less now. The headline sparked my excitement, and unfortunately this joke earned my click...I'm ashamed and sorry. Please leave, John.

It's Saturday Night Live at the Big Orange with John Adams as the guest host. Well done and the "deadpan" delivery was believable, innovative and darn funny!
Who is this Mike Strange guy...I hear he is from La Tech or Missouri State??? We'll see if he can coach in the SEC, eh?

funny. no, really, lmao.

Talk about a joke that's been told about 500 times too many. (USC/UT) Maybe Adams can don the Gold & Green of the Cal Poly Pomona Broncos Soccer team and find success there.

Dang. First Kiffen and now Adams. Vols just can't catch a break!

So, California gets another radiation filter. Thanks for the sacrifice, John
