Kiffin time in Tennessee: Lane Kiffin isn't wasting any time. He's already in Knoxville and will meet with the team on Sunday night at the football complex. He will be introduced as the Vols' next head coach during a Monday news conference. Kiffin already has a portion of his staff assembled. His father, Monte Kiffin, is coming with him after an ultra successful run as one of the NFL's best defensive coordinators. The elder Kiffin is currently with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It also appears that former Ole Miss coach Ed Orgeron is coming, as well as South Carolina quarterbacks coach David Reaves, who is Kiffin's brother-in-law. Orgeron is currently the defensive line coach with the New Orleans Saints and would head up the Vols' recruiting. He and Kiffin worked together on the Southern California staff earlier this decade. The jury may be out on Kiffin as a head coach, but it looks like he's putting together one sweet staff.
I think this was one of the biggest drawing cards of Kiffin. His ability to put together a top of the line staff. Having a "Serious Hotty Wifey" is also attractive.
