I consider myself a friend and a loyal supporter of Phil Fulmer. I am friends with him and his family. I would have to agree that Lane Kiffin is doing a wonderful job on the hill. The coaching staff he has assembled is awesome, the discipline he has installed is quite evident with the players and coaches (Something Fulmer was lacking in) and the drive to always get better is something that has been lacking for the last few years. It is one thing to talk it but another to actually do it. A resounding Yes vote for Lane Kiffin as SEC Coach of the year. All you have to look at is the success he is having on the field. He ripped into Meyer, Saban, and Spurrier and back it up when the entire world of college football expected Kiffin to get an education in the SEC before the season started. Yet he is winning over all the naysayers and putting Tennessee football back on the map in one year. He has taken the laughing stock of an offense in 2008, ranked 115th, and made it productive. He took a running back in Hardesty that hardly couldn't get on the field under the previous staff and made him into an All SEC Back. The job he did with Crompton is a miracle. Lane and his staff are coaching ball players up and not showing favoritism, you earn your spot on the team, and more importantly you earn the right week in and week out to play through open competition. ETC;ETC;ETC;
