I must admit that after looking at some of the salaries that a few of the coordinators were making I began to understand why everyone, outside the SEC, thinks we’ve lost complete control of our ability to establish healthy priorities.
Even though I think our priorities are perfectly fine, it will present an awkward situation when my daughter sits on my lap and tells me that she wants to grow up and marry a defensive coordinator.
The University of Tennessee and Auburn University find themselves in a similar situation in 2009. Each of the schools hired a new football coach that brought a lot of questions with them.
In both cases, it was the strength that was placed around the coaches that helped to ease the worries that some of the fans were having.
While Lane Kiffin may not have a proven name in the college football ranks, that is made up for by his determination to make one for himself at the expense of his competition.
He’s competitive, passionate and has developed the habit of using the media to confront his fellow coaches from 500 miles away.
This might be an unorthodox method of confrontation, but that doesn’t make it any less entertaining.
With everything that Coach Kiffin has said, nothing has rung louder than how his Vols wrapped up their recruiting class on Feb. 4th.
The new staff, which had only been together for two months, was able to bring in one of the Top 10 recruiting classes in the country.
