Lane Kiffin is a Coach of the Year candidate

"The Vols aren't on the brink of knocking Florida off the perch in the SEC East, but they certainly have made a statement that they could be the second-best as they have drilled both Georgia (45-19) and South Carolina (31-13) in the past month, in what was supposed to be a brutal part of the UT schedule. Kiffin has also backed up a lot of the bluster by being competitive in a game at Florida where everyone was expecting Urban Meyer's team to get such payback and win 75-3. Then, Kiffin's team comes within a last-second blocked field goal of upsetting Alabama. Maybe most impressively has been Kiffin's work with his offense; he has helped to transform embattled Vol QB Jonathan Crompton into a capable quarterback."

Little something from ESPN.

Since we're on the subject, did anyone hear the Scout guy on sports 180 today? When asked about any surprises or anyone Tennessee leads for, he said one to watch was Blake Sims, first name he popped out there. He said Tennessee is making a strong push, and to watch out for that one. Not sure of the guy's name, Chad something, but he is supposed to be the main evaluator for the Southeast region.

I think Sims has waited too long. He's not going to be able to switch to Tennessee. All this is just my opinion. I wish we would go after him harder. I think he will go to Georgia if they make room for him.

UGA wants him now and are coming hard with his parents and family pushing him that way.
