More on Kiffin....

This is great:

In the Rocky Top hills of Tennessee, though, it’s a horror flick; a slasher film. A man (perhaps “boy” would be the better word choice) comes riding into town, muddies a long-standing tradition with brash un-Fulmer-like bravado, fields a team of criminals, and then deserts the premises for greener pastures when a better opportunity presents itself.

If Pete Carroll left USC in a state of uncertainty, Lane Kiffin is leaving Tennessee in a state of rubble and shrapnel. And if Carroll’s a “worm” for leaving the Trojans high and dry, Lane Kiffin’s a snake of the highest order. As of Tuesday night, that snake was on a plane to La La Land.

Whether he’s a snake, weasel, or just your garden variety spoiled brat, it’s really of no great circumstance. What matters is that Lane Kiffin is done with Tennessee after just one year and on to bigger and better things. In his wake, he leaves a program that was likely better off having never known him at all.

3. Vols will be better off in the long run

but in the immediate aftermath, there seems to literally and figuratively be smoldering rubble.

Look for serious UT interest in the following (and likely others too):

Muschamp
Calhoun
Patterson
Petersen
Tuberville
Spurrier
Cutcliff

4. Somehow an Onion story got into the mainstream sports media, right?

I mean, this whole thing makes you go WTF?????????
