Getting Monte Kiffin to go would be a far bigger hire than Lane himself. The guy is a coaching legend and genius. He had some of the greatest defenses in Collge history when he was a DC at Nebraska(his defense was the cornerstone of Nebraskas 1971 MNC, it was called the immoveable force and is still talked about to this day). He will instill Tampa 2, 3 and still move in some 4-3, 3-4 to fit the needs. Plus his very legendary status will draw top defensive recruits to Tennessee like flys to stink. Lane on the other hand IMO is still an unknown commodity IMO, he was never a full OC at USC and well his results spoke for themselves at Oakland, with or without Gollum’s fascist rule.
Agreed. I think the jury's still out on Lane. Like one talking head said, "Heck, Barney Fife could recruit blue chippers to USC".
I'll say this for him, though, his wife is really hot.
