New Meaning To "Failure To Maintain Lane..."

((HT: govolsxtra.com))

You all know about the first one... that already happened at the University of Tennessee. But we like this one. It's funny and strangely typical of the whole dynamic...

Lane Kiffin wrecked a leased Lexus while he was Vols head coach.

"For the past 15 years, Lexus of Knoxville has been a proud sponsor of the Tennessee Fund and the coach's vehicle program at the University of Tennessee for the men's and women's athletic programs," the statement reads. "Former University of Tennessee head football coach Lane Kiffin was involved in a single car accident in one of our vehicles. The proper authorities were contacted and the vehicle was towed to our location. Coach Kiffin's insurance was contacted and promptly paid the claim.

UT spokeswoman Tiffany Carpenter elaborated, but didn't know exactly when this happened:

"He'd been staying in the office for 11 nights and was going home to see his family," she said. "He slid off the road."

Kiffin told the sports Web site Volquest.com in August that he fell asleep behind the wheel "after the 10th or 11th day of camp."

"I was driving home and was about a half mile from home, nodded off and slipped off the side of the road into the ditch," he told the Web site. "So they joke around here that I am not allowed to drive anymore."


Which leads us to last night's WWE's "Monday Night Raw" which was in Knoxville. They're recently using the ploy of the "celebrity guest host," and last night gave us Don Johnson and Jon Heder.

Yeah, we know... cheap date...

Heder went "uneducated heel..."

And, oh by the way according to WATE-TV in Knoxville, it looks like Kevin Steele may be leaving Clemson to join the Derek Dooley staff as Defensive Coordinator... good hire if Steele decides to pull the trigger... the final decision is set for Wednesday.
