Sports news flash from
MR Sports Director Joc Sniffer,
Lane Kiffin is the Vols’ next football coach. Even though UT athletic director Mike Hamilton denied the fact while the search was underway. Kiffin will become UT’s third coach since 1977.
Kiffin is former NFL’s Oakland Raiders coach. The Raiders fired Kiffin in September after compiling a 5-15 record in one-plus seasons. When he was hired by the Raiders in January 2007 at age 31 he became the youngest coach in the NFL’s modern history. His salary was $2 million per season.
Kiffin was an assistant at Fresno State from 1997-98 and Southern Cal from 2001-04 and the Trojans offensive coordinator from 2005-06.
Kiffin has been assembling a staff for quite some time:
* Monte Kiffin: Lane Kiffin’s father, Monte Kiffin is a highly respected defensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
* Ed Orgeron: a defensive line coach with the New Orleans Saints, Orgeron coached with Kiffin at Southern Cal and furthered his reputation as one of the best recruiters in the nation when he coached at Ole Miss.
* Bill Callahan: Callahan has been fired from two coaching positions, with the Raiders and Nebraska, but is still considered an accomplished offensive coordinator. He is currently an assistant offensive head coach for the New York Jets.
* Doug Marrone: Now the offensive line coach for the Saints. He also coached for the Vols in 2001.
* Joe Whitt Jr.: The defensive quality control coach for the Green Bay Packers, Whitt was known as a strong recruiter as quarterbacks coach and recruiting coordinator at Louisville.
* David Reaves: Lane Kiffin’s brother-in-law who is quarterbacks coach and recruiting coordinator at South Carolina.
* Chris Kiffin: Lane Kiffin’s brother who is a coaching intern at Nebraska.
Kiffin and staff can visit prospects in their home next week and can host an official visit weekend on Dec. 6.
WAY TO GO..ATTABOY..GOOD JOB

STORY NAMING UTs NEW FOOTBALL

MIKE CLARK
played three cuts from Yuletide Dreams
Tuesday!
CLICK HERE THEN
TURN THE SOUND WAY UP
OPEN FIRE!
The three BIG TV networks are in
financial trouble. Check it out
and vote on the poll!
Ace media reporter, Ronnie Radio
says U 102, which switched transmitters
and frequency to become STAR or did STAR
switch to become U 102? ANYWAY, the 102, which is now
on 93 something has dropped their 80s format.
The word from Journal is they are going back
to country...yep back...see STAR before it was STAR
was KICKS something or other on that frequency..BUT when
KICKS died and STAR became a success they switched
over to the bigger stick at 102. Lord help we
so need Ross Perot in here with his charts to follow all
of this. ANYWAY that same SMALL STICK as in
lower coverage WAS country in the past and yes
it was then owned by Journal. SO you ask WHY
would they go back to it? Honey we have NO idea unless
it is the low numbers IVK tossed out on
the last ARB? If so an underpowered and WAY
under financed station owned by a group that
would sell the entire local conglomerate
tonight, is NOT going to scare the FROG
one bit!

Hey Walker, I enjoyed hearing you on WJBZ with Mike in the Morning yesterday. Great job with the new CD. btw... you and Mike sounded great together again, you might seriously consider that comeback...
We got to hear the songs tonight and they were really good, bought a CD also!
With all the boring nothing news going on right now the media report has been refreshing!
Giving time and money to those who need it is what Christmas is all about.
Tell Zeek he done good.
You are your blog are so hated! You SAY you are media but you talk about shit and never get any of the media stories right.
I hated reading you in the Shopper and am going to stop reading you now, unless you talk about the positive side of local TV news. Your hate for WATE is open and obvious and we can see right through it.
You are too old and ugly and stupid to ever be on TV or ever write for a real paper (Halls News) again so just
GO AWAY
Nice job UT this guy sucks!
Fire the AD and bring back
Majors as AD! UT has not been UT since the fat man ran him off.
Walker, regarding 93.1's switch last week, this is in R & R Magazine...
"It was good news-bad news for Citadel's venerable WIVK/Knoxville on Wednesday (Nov. 26). On one hand, fall phase one results showed the station off to a great start with a 19.5 12+ share. By the end of the work day, however, it also had a competitor, Journal's WCYQ, "Q93, Today's Continuous Country."
Q93 replaces the '80s format of WMYU. According to Chris Protzman, VP/GM of Journal/Knoxville, "We've listened to what Knoxville radio listeners have been asking for quite a while, and that was a radio station that would play their favorite country hits of today without constant interruptions."
The station officially launched Wednesday afternoon at 5 p.m. with a promise of playing 10,000 songs in a row and plans for "several major promotions in the coming weeks." WCYQ already has a Web site up and running at www.Q93Country.com."
And as they say, that's the poop.
Gee, that sounds like Merle.
I hope Brad Allen didn't lose his job.
