This is a great day for the University of Tennessee
If I'm a University of Tennessee fan, this is one happy day. No matter who the Vols hire, he's going to be better than Lane Kiffin. We already knew the guy wasn't a very good coach. Now we know that the commitment he spoke of lasted only until his telephone rang with a job he perceived to be better.
RIP USC. You're done. Irrelevant. Your fans worried that Mike Garrett would do something stupid, and he didn't let you down. Mike Garrett and Lane Kiffin. Talk about two people that deserve one another.
If Tennessee is smart, it'll make another run at Will Muschamp. Maybe he'll change his mind about working in Knoxville. Maybe the Vols will make a run at Mike Leach. Can you imagine how many points he'd score with the recruits he could get at Tennessee?
I'd heard Florida was going to make a run at Kevin Sumlin if Urban Meyer had resigned. Maybe now Tennessee will go for Sumlin. That would be a very smart move.
