Monte Kiffin heading for redneck central

Over the past few weeks, after the University of Tennessee announced that they fired head coach Phillip Fullmer, and hired failed Oakland Raider head coach, Lane Kiffin, there have been rumors surrounding Tampa Bay Bucs defensive coordinator, Monte Kiffin, his father.

Jon Gruden has deflected questions during his press conferences over the past two weeks, but Monte Kiffin came out this evening and said he'll be joining his son at UT next season. Perhaps that might be a good thing for the Bucs. Derrick Brooks, Ronde Barber, Kevin Carter, all need to be shook up, and it's time for them to transition to the post playing portion of their career.

Prior to re-signing any players, the Bucs should make a deal with current defensive back coach, Raheem Morris and make him the defensive coordinator, and offer the option of becoming head coach when and if Gruden is relieved.

Post game injury report, Jermaine Phillips, re-fractured his arm, out for the season. What looked like a possible 12-4 season, now 9-7 looks much more reasonable.
