Later, Lane

In just one season at Tennessee, Lane Kiffin posted a 7-6 record as head coach of the Volunteers. During his days in Knoxville, Kiffin was a constant source of controversy. And now, he's gone. I believe the SEC is a better conference without his ignorant antics. But, I will definitely miss Kiffin's ludicrous sound bytes.

Speaking of that, Lil' Lane never got to sing Rocky Top all night after beating Florida. That was a "tradition" he was unable to embrace, because Kiffin's Vols couldn't get the job done against UF. Aided by his sudden departure, Kiffin did make good on one promise. After thumping UGA 45-19 in Neyland Stadium, LK stated that UT would never lose to Georgia as long as he was coaching the Vols. A bold statement after just one game against Tennessee's rival from the Peach State. This lame prophecy leaves me wondering, "How would Mark Richt have handled his shot at revenge against the shot taking Kiffin?"

Maybe the Dawgs would have stormed the field and personal foulishly danced after their first successful field goal against UT in 2010. But, now we'll never know. I just wish Richt could have given Kiffin a huge cup of STFU. Hopefully, UCLA can do that on his behalf next season. Go Bruins!
