Tennessee Athletic Director Mike Hamilton said Tuesday the university investigated rumors that have recently appeared on the Internet that Lane Kiffin had been drinking and was with female students at the time of a car accident last summer, but “we were never able to substantiate any of that.”

Hamilton said Kiffin, who resigned as Tennessee’s football coach last week to take the same position at USC, acknowledged being involved in the accident after it occurred in August and said he had fallen asleep at the wheel.

Back to tennessee:

Ole Miss-Tennessee serves as one of the most highly anticipated games for Tennessee Football in a while, and a big reason why is Lane Kiffin’s return to Knoxville for the first as an opposing head coach since he left Tennessee. 

Kiffin departed from the Vols in January 2010 to take the USC head coaching job. Since his firing from the Trojans in 2013, Kiffin has bounced around to Alabama as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, to Florida Atlantic as head coach and now to Ole Miss as the Rebels’ head coach for the past two years.

During Kiffin’s Monday press conference, he touched on what the return to Knoxville means to him personally.

Why did leave tennessee:

Kiffin did indeed step into an unexpected situation at USC. Despite major NCAA sanctions, he led the Trojans to a 10-2 record in 2011. The trouble started when the 2012 season went downhill and it felt like the head coach’s hold on the program was slipping. Realistically, athletic director Pat Haden pulled the plug too early when he fired Kiffin early in the 2013 season.

Ultimately, Kiffin learned from that experience. He also learned from Nick Saban and his time at FIU. Sometimes the journey doesn’t go the direction you think, but it’s all part of your story. Kiffin knows better than to regret the decisions that put him where he is now.
