Lane Kiffin vs. the entire state of Tennessee

Look, I never expected Lane Kiffin to buy a summer home in Murfreesboro...

But it's getting to the point that eventually, he will have upset sports fans in every city, town, village and hamlet in the state of Tennessee.

On Saturday Kiffin swooped in to hire Tennessee Titans running backs coach Kennedy Pola as his
offensive coordinator at Southern Cal. 

Kiffin failed to inform Titans head coach Jeff Fisher that he was interested in one of his coaches.  On Saturday, Fisher responded with these comments to the Tennessean newspaper.

"I am very disappointed in the lack of professionalism on behalf of Lane (Kiffin), to call me, and leave me a voice mail after Kennedy had informed me he had taken the job," said Fisher.  "It is just a lack of professionalism."

Remember, Fisher is a Southern Cal alum.
