(SEC fans are not as forgiving as Al Davis)It became official today, Tennessee introduced Lane Kiffin as the 21St coach in Volunteer country.
This hire is peculiar to me because Kiffin hasn't really done anything in his coaching career. He spent five years at USC, two of those years as the offensive coordinator. He more famously the head coach of the Oakland Raiders the past 1.25 years. He only won five games in his time spent in Oakland.
I don't now what qualified Kiffin to be in the same coaching ranks as: Mark Richt, Urban Meyer, Nick Saban, Les Miles, and Houston Nutt. But Tennessee AD Mike Hamilton obviously saw something in Kiffin. Lane is supposedly going to bring in his father Monte to run the defense and Ed Orgeron as the lead recruiter.
This hire could go both ways: complete disaster or complete genius by Tennessee, but their is no middle ground. And he doesn't have complacent Raider fans sitting behind him, he will have fanatic SEC fans. Good Luck.
