| Wait... Jimmy Hyams won an AP award for "breaking" the Lane Kiffin story?
Can somebody explain how he broke the story?

| I heard the first mention of Kiffin being the coach, more than people throwing a name and hoping it would stick, from Groves.
That was a solid week before the Kentucky game.

Meanwhile, at this time, Jimmy Hyams was still talking about Butch Davis...

| That's just wrong, Justin deserves that, I distinctly remember him talking about it a long time before douchebag Hyams. In fact, wasn't Hyams still talking about Davis a week after Lane was hired? | |

| I remember Jimmy telling a caller that Leach had a better chance of being our next coach than Kiffin... Spot on Hyams, spot on.

| Just a thought...
Could we give Justin the VolNation award for breaking the story and include how far in advance of the AP award that occurred?
The AP is really for fans who don't mind waiting for Hyams or others to confirm weeks/months after something happens. The VN award could be for truly breaking news. Since this would be a first, maybe we could just call it the Justin Groves Award for the breaking the most important Vols news of the year. | |
