A curious tidbit from TFP's Mark Wiedmer this morning on hiring the family Kiffin...

...And as for running afoul of UT’s nepotism clause — which states that “no employees who are relatives shall be placed with the same direct line of supervision whereby one relative is responsible for supervising the job performance or work activities of another relative” — well, the Vols took care of that problem before it began.

While Kiffin’s boss will remain Hamilton, the school has stated that all football assistants and coordinators will report to the director of football operations, which is currently Bruce Warwick. In turn, Warwick will report to an athletic department senior administrator.

In other words, Kiffin’s brother-in-law and father will report to Warwick rather than Kiffin, which could really become interesting if Pop’s defense gives up 52 points to Florida next year. Who’s going to grade his job performance? Warwick?

That clause is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of. I don't like working with family on a normal job, but coaching football is anything but a normal job. Who care if we win football games??

If anyone hangs 52 on Monte I expect a beat down of the OC on the sidelines ala Buddy Ryan for not holding the ball long enough.
