KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -Tennessee athletic director Mike Hamilton says he can describe Lane Kiffin’s tenure coaching the Volunteers in just one word: ‘Brief.’
Hamilton spoke at a news conference Wednesday discussing his second coaching search in less than two years after Kiffin announced Tuesday night his abrupt resignation to take the same job at Southern California. Kiffin, hired 14 months ago, coached one season at Tennessee.
The athletic director says Kiffin told him Saturday that if the Southern California job came open he would be interested. Hamilton also says he’s disappointed after giving Kiffin a chance to be a head coach.
Hamilton says he has met already with the eight recruits who enrolled early and told them to “go to class.”
