A couple years ago, the Tennessee Volunteers reached out to Lovie Smith, the coach of the Chicago Bears, to be their coach. Now the Vols have found their way to have a big Lane Kiffin debacle. Kiffin pledged his fealty to the team and it just wasn’t enough. They weren’t good enough, their scouting just wasn’t quite good enough. Instead, Kiffin suddenly decided to choose the USC job. Meanwhile, a bunch of other possible coaches, including the coach from Duke and other places, have turned down the job in the last few days. For whatever reason, rumors surfaced yesterday that Lovie Smith was being approached. There were reports of a jet and a limo on the way to Chicago to meet him. Just now, howver, I heard that an athletic director from Louisiana might have just decided to take the Tennessee job, so perhaps all these different rumors amount to nothing at all.
