this year, which they should, Fulmer will be fired. Lane Kiffin is a high priority coaching candidate in Knoxville, along with Jon Gruden, Mike Leech, and Jim Grobe. Of those, Lane would make the most sense to end up at UT.
Dude, that Jon Gruden crap pops up in Knoxville every year about this time...along with Bill Cower rumors. Truth is Jim Haslam and Thunder Thornton haven't said who they want as coach.
They could take a shot at him. It depends how much UNC wants to spend on keeping him. UNC is not a traditional football powerhouse but has serious money they can play with.
