**Official NCAA 08 Football Thread**

Tennessee has reached an agreement with former Oakland Raiders coach Lane Kiffin to take over as the Volunteers' next coach, with an announcement planned for Monday, barring any snags, according to multiple sources.
Kiffin, 33, will be making his college head coaching debut in succeeding Phillip Fulmer, who will coach his last game for the Vols on Saturday.

Tennessee athletic director Mike Hamilton denied reports on Wednesday that Kiffin had been offered a contract. But Kiffin has been at the forefront of the Vols' search for some time.

Rumor has it his daddy, Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin, is coming with him.

Other rumors floating that UT will be hiring NFL coaches Ed Orgeron of the Saints (former Missisippi HC, USC assistant HC) to the D-Line, and Bill Callahan (former Raiders HC, NY Jets assistant). More coaching hires consist of David Reaves (South Carolina assistant) for QBC, and Art Kehoe (former Miami assistant) to the O-Line....If those rumors wind up being true that will be a heck of a recruiting squad.

Oh god! WTF would you want Callahan? He's just like Norv Turner.

Well, seeing as the guy they have now is Dave Clawson who coaches the worst offense in the NCAA, I don't think that Callahan is a bad choice. He has great offensive experience and he has been to the Superbowl. Kiffin will be calling the plays anyhow.

Did you forget what he did to Nebraska?

Callahan was 0-10 against teams ranked higher than 20th, 25-21 against Division I opponents and 15-18 against the Big 12, and coached the program to its only losing seasons in 45 years.

He won't be in charge here....Yes I do, he tried to incorporate the West Coast offense into a option type team. He did however have a winning record overall and his offensive numbers have always been good....I'm more excited to find out if Lanes father will be here. I was a little upset when I heard Chavis is going to be leaving but if they replace him with Monte then I couldn't be happier. Can you imagine Eric Berry at saftey with his Tampa 2 D.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMI4qj0pj3E

Kiffin, your first order of buisness is to show your recruiting strength. You need to steal USC commit Matt Barkley.
