A Breath of fresh air for Tennessee football


We are at the dawn of a new era here at the University of Tennessee. For the first time in 18 years, Philip Fulmer will not lead the Volunteers through the T at the beginning of the game. This is the beginning of change in our football program. For the first time, the head coach has no ties to the University of Tennessee at all. Going all the way back to General Neyland, the head coach has had some sort of tie to our university. Yet, Lane Kiffin has zero ties. Lane Kiffin is a complete outsider. He is a new comer. Since his induction as head coach, he has embraced all the traditions of our beloved university. At the same time, he has also infuriated our rivals all across the SEC. From Alabama to Florida, they all have a chip on their shoulder when it comes to Tennessee. He has increased our recruiting greatly while bringing in an all star staff. If my very humble honest opinion, Lane Kiffin, so far, has been a home run hire. Yet, Lane will be judged for good on the field. We'll see how the Lane Kiffin era starts this weekend.
