Former Tennessee QB commits self-own by showing off weird DMs to Lane Kiffin

In the last 24 hours, we’ve seen Tennessee’s coaching search go from Mike Gundy, to Purdue’s Jeff Brohm, to NC State head coach Dave Doeren.

One thing that’s remained constant since Butch Jones’ firing is Vol fans being open to the idea that former UT head coach Lane Kiffin could make a return, despite the vehement reaction when he left in 2009. On Wednesday, former Vol quarterback Erik Ainge tweeted a screenshot of Twitter DMs with Kiffin himself, and it’s not exactly the best look for Ainge:

My favorite part is Kiffin’s short “Never said I wanted to” response that prompted Ainge to share this. Let’s just say Tennessee fans had a field day with the tweet:

Why? Out of all these short dick bastards Lane has the better track record and has thick skin. He got us in this mess so why not let him correct it. If it doesn't work out then no matter what were still searching for a coach in 3-5 years.

So you randomly messaged Lane to tell him he sucks and that you don't want him? How childish are you?

My personal favorite — reminding Ainge of this two interceptions he threw in the 2007 SEC Championship.

This might be worse than 2 picks in the 4th quarter of the SEC championship.

Kiffin hasn’t been hiding the fact that he’s happy at FAU, despite Vol fans being open to his return. On Monday, he directly denied a report suggesting he should be considered at Tennessee, which of course, caused Vol fans to want him more. And in the middle of a Greg Schiano protest outside one of the Vols’ athletic buildings, a protester was holding this:

The famous rock that sits outside of Neyland Stadium on Tennessee’s campus that had the words “F*ck you Lane Kiffin” painted on it after he left in 2009 also has apparently forgiven him:

Lane had fun with this, too:

Stay tuned, folks, this likely won’t be the last we hear of the Kiffin-to-Tennessee speculation.

Let's block ads! (Why?)
