As the College Football world woke up Wednesday morning and tried to make sense of the Kiffin's hasty exit from Tennessee as the new Head Coach at USC, several interesting and in some cases weird stories are starting to pop up.

Case in point. This story from WATE-TV on the impact of this with recruits RIGHT HERE . There are multiple reports that Kiffin's chief henchman Ed Orgeron has been telling UT recruits, some of whom were about to enroll early..."Don't go to class, come with us". In fact, in the story, recruit Brandon Willis confirms that he was asked to go. He declined, though he didn't early enroll, he now wants to figure out what he will do.
According to the guy who hired Kiffin, the subject of Kiffin going to USC came up on Saturday. Check out the story from govolsextra.com RIGHT HERE.
According to WVLT-TV and several other outlets, Kiffykins is obligated to pay UT $800,ooo for bailing out on them. In the world of College Football, that ain't much and often the payment never happens.
For those who are interested, WVLT also posted a copy of the contract...check it out HERE.
ESPN's Gene Wojciechowski joins the masses piling on Kifikins and adds that his sources say that the Board of Trustee's has already been in contact with the Great Pumpkin, Phillip Fulmer, about coming back to be the AD...Check it out RIGHT HERE though he buried that part until later in the story.
It should be interesting to see how a guy who may or may not get his "Now" previous employer on NCAA probation, reacts to going to a school where more than likely, they will be going on Probation. At the very least, this keeps those of us in the blogging world busy on a cold winter day.
There will apparently be a press conference in L.A introducing the newest Trojan Man sometime later this afternoon so stay tuned, we expect this won't story won't be going away for awhile.
