A good friend out in L.A. called me to let me know that there is a rumor going around California and being discussed on the radio that Lane Kiffin, the recently fired Raiders coach, will be the next coach of the Vols – after Fulmer gets the inevitable can, of course (hopefully, sooner than later).  Not sure how I feel about this one.  As far as I can see, he has no ties to the SEC, in any way.  Don’t know much about him – other than what I have seen out of him with the Raiders.  Nevertheless, whereever he goes, I know Kiffin will be glad to get away from “Weird Al” Davis.
