I actually went through a coaching change while I was playing. (Battle to Majors) I understand the pain that you are feeling. It is obiviuos that you had a deep love for Coach Fulmer, I had the same love for Coach Battle. In fact we walked off the field together after his last game against Vandy. He laid his head on my shoulder and cried all the way to the locker room. In fact every one in the locker room cried because he was leaving.
BUT, he knew as well as Coach Fulmer knew, that college football is a business. Business sometimes make changes. We may not always like the change but we learn to live with it.
We had our hearts broken but we went on because we were The University of Tennessee. Thats the way it will always be. There will be young men that will have their hearts broken the same as you and I when Coach Kiffen leaves. That is just a fact. It may hurt right now, but the Love for Tennessee will always remain strong!
