Is Kiffin Putting Pressure On The SEC?
While it is no surprise that Volunteers Head Coach Lane Kiffin has been in the spotlight much of this off season for verbal blunders that cascaded like wild fire through the SEC, is the pressure really on Kiffin and the Volunteers?
Some believe Kiffin to be a great recruiter with real promise as a head coach. Others believe he will fall flat on his face and go running scared from Knoxville, while some have the inclanation of mediocrity. Regardless of one’s take on the issue, no one is expecting a miracle from the Tennessee Volunteers in 2009, are they?
Lane Kiffin is graced with a plethora of new Tennessee coaches, young players, and unproven starters at key positions.
So, is the pressure really on Kiffin or is the heat on their SEC rival’s? No one wants to be the first to lose to the latest awkwardly transitional college football program?
To this point, Tennessee is not expected to step into the national highlight reel, but rather fall a little flat.
Glancing at the Volunteer’s 2009 schedule, who is the first SEC club to hear the emabarassing snicker sound from around the league as they lose to Kiffin’s kiddies?

College Football Coaches Who Earn Their Paycheck
Most college football head coaches are overpaid. The average annual earnings of the 120 major-college football coaches in 2008 was at $1 million. Yet some coaches are underpaid, and even a small few of the top coaches are worth their overblown salaries – and more.
From popularity to tenure to wins to television revenues, the list of salary considerations for head coaches is at least fifty yards long. After an illustrious university cobbles together its head coach search and salary committee, their first meeting is doubtlessly filled with comments and questions like:
“Is he affiliated with the university?”
“There’s no way he’s better than our last coach!”
“I don’t care how, just give us someone who wins.”
“Will he hobnob with the boosters? Will he kiss our butts?”
“Is he planning to run that awful spread offense?”
“Will he give my son a scholarship?”

Lane Kiffin
Lane Kiffin of Tennessee flopped into his illustrious career by starting a lover’s quarrel with none other than Urban Meyer. And why not, they are both young and attractive with vibrant head-strong personalities, why wouldn’t they migrate to each other? Just be careful Lane, Urban is a man who really, really likes to hold a grudge. Like any Hollywood relationship, staying clear of the tabloids is the key to a successful match. But, rumor has it this affair is going to crash and burn at their next outing in the fall.

Move The Georgia-Florida Game?
Are Georgia Bulldog fans and supporters celebrating already?
It has been a long distance to travel to get a cocktail for most Georgia fans, so will the yearly tradition of the once named “The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party” begin to shift towards Atlanta?
While the contract with Jacksonville, Florida is set through 2010, the rumors and debates are surfacing quickly.
What to do next?
Should the games rotate between Atlanta’s Georgia Dome and Jacksonville? Maybe take turns “Between the Hedges”, “The Swamp”, as well as Atlanta and Jacksonville? Or perhaps, the games should just stay in Jacksonville?
Most likely, Gator fans have little issue with the current set up. They are a solid golf shot away from home and wins haven’t been too hard to come by these past few years.
