Kiffin to be Vols Coach?
That's what ESPN is reporting. If true, I guess it's a good hire. Not my first choice. Or second. Or third. We here loved Mike Leach and Turner Gill. Were they interviewed? Don't know. Lane Kiffin was a great offensive coordinator at USC (of course he also had Reggie Bush, LenDale White, and Matt Leinart). But, in terms of recruitment, how will potential recruits respond? He was publicly belittled by Al Davis when fired from Oakland. There were trust issues. How will that correlate to high school students trying to find the right college, with competition from, most likely, Florida, Georgia and LSU? I would have loved to see a proven recruiter. Lane Kiffin's biggest recruit (if you can call it that) was Javon Walker. Not exactly a blue chipper. We'll see. Rocky Top might be harder than Oakland. We'll see. Personally, I don't think he was the right choice. But, we will see.
