One of ESPN's horde of bloggers/reporters/online dudes is reporting that Lane Kiffin will take over at Tennessee on Monday for retired/fired Phil Fulmer.
Wow. Gutsy, but I have a hard time believing this hire is going to work out. Kiffin hasn't done much but be an offensive coordinator at USC and have a horrid job as the Raiders' whipping boy for crazy Al.
Rumors already have Kiffin bringing in his Dad, Monte, a longtime NFL defensive coordinator along with former Ole Miss coach Ed Orgeron who can recruit like crazy.
eh. I still don't see Tennessee as a good place for a 33-year old with no head coaching experience at the college level.

This just seems like a horrible fit. But has the potential to have an amazing pay off if it works out. Kiffin brings in some good assistants, proves to be a great recruiter, etc.
But how will he stack up against Meyer, Petrino, Saban, Miles, Spurrier and so on? This has three years and looking for a new coach written all over it.
