It’s Offical- Lane Kiffin to Tennessee! Welcome to SEC County!
It’s official Lane Kiffin to Tennessee.
Lane Kiffin was announced to be the Vol’s head coach and to restore Tennessee’s tradition in the SEC. It’s rumored that his dad Monte will be his defensive coordinator.
Coach O has also been mentioned in the mix.
Can anybody say USC-East?
Everyone who has ever hated on Pete Carroll and USC in SEC Country are trying to do their best to duplicate it. Hire a former USC coach, lure more former USC coaches, and hope you hit the jackpot. Isn’t this what UCLA tried to do? Hire the Weasel, the Trojans offensive mastermind Norm Chow and try to lure Norton back to the school that previously rejected him? Is this the future of college football?
Hire any former USC Trojan coach and hope for Pete Carroll #2 to develop.
MRSEC.COM opinion on Lane Kiffin hire.
Basically, it’s an SC bashing party. He believes Kiffin is inexperienced and shouldn’t have been offered the job since he has no previous college head coaching experience. He even bashes Coach O for his recruiting tactics at Old Miss.
ESPN Opinions on Kiffin Hire.
What a difference a couple months makes? A couple months ago, Lane Kiffin was in Oakland arguing with Tom Cable, and good old Al Davis. He was trying to figure out his quarterback who was inconsistent and figuring out the pieces to his lackluster team.
Lane Kiffin should have the last laugh….
Fight On, USC Trojans!
"Lane Kiffin has prepared himself through hard work and preparation and has become one of the brightest minds in football. He understands what it takes to reach a championship level and has the passion and work ethic to make it happen."
Jeff Tedford, University of California
"I have no doubt that Lane (Kiffin) will do great things at UT. He handled all of our national recruiting at USC and brought us great players during our championship seasons. While serving as our offensive coordinator, USC had the best offense in the history of football in 2005. The Tennessee fans and alumni will be very happy with the way Lane will embrace Coach Fulmer and the tradition at UT."
Pete Carroll, University of Southern California
"Coach Kiffin is a perfect fit. He brings a wealth of experience he’s accumulated at a very young age. He has a brilliant football mind, and there’s no doubt in my mind he’s going to be successful.
The University of Tennessee athletics program stands alone as far as our organization is concerned with Coach Fulmer’s success, Coach Summitt’s success and the future that’s ahead of Coach Pearl. I’m a UT fan and have all the confidence in the world that Coach Kiffin will continue to carry on that tradition."
Jeff Fisher, Tennessee Titans
