According to TENNSTUD, Coach O not coming..... Here is his post:
"Scratch Orgeron's name from Lane Kiffin's staff. I just
received a call from Cortez Kennedy, now living in Orlando, who's next door neighbor is Lou Holtz, and he said that Ed(Ed Orgeron) told him that he wasn't going to join Lane at UT, that he loved Lane like a son but his family loved living where they do now in Louisiana, Ed likes the NFL, he doesn't have to recruit, so he's not going to Knoxville. Cortez says the Saints play Tampa at Tampa Sunday and he's going over for the game and will visit with Ed and the Saints coaches. Corez added a caveat, "this is how he feels right now." Time will tell but Ed telling Cortez he doesn't have to recruit as a reason not to rejoin the college game is most telling as recruiting is the main reason most folks wanted Ed, as he was relentless as a recruiter at Ole MIss and worked closely with Lane in recruiting at USC, I assume. Ed was Cortez coach at the U of Miami and is a close friend. Ole MIss had Cortez work on obtaining Ed for Ole MIss and Cortez was on stage at Ole MIss for Ed's introduction."
