Although the news of former Tennessee Vols head coach Lane Kiffin leaving the school is a bit old, some fans still aren't taking it lightly and are instead taking it pretty personal. One fan in particular is letting Kiffin along with everyone else in Tennessee know exactly how he feels. The angered fan went as far as filing paperwork and proposing a name to the city's sewage center. A Knoxville attorney by the name of Drew McElroy contacted the City Council's Public Properties and Facilities Naming Committee about renaming it's local waste water plant after the short tenured coach.
After just one year at the helm, Kiffin's Vols finished the season with a record of 7-6. & Even after his departure, you've got to wonder what it is that the Tennessee faithful hate so much about Kiffin. After all, it was his players that didn't perform the way they were supposed to. But at the same time you've got to feel the rage held by the fans, after their coach for what was scheduled to be six-years decided to go elsewhere. Even though the proposed name is most likely to be denied, there's no denying the hard feelings that are being felt in Tennessee. Regarding the situation, the man with the play -- Drew McElroy went on to say, "We want to memorialize his stay here and I think this would be doing it appropriately." Although he's probably not welcomed back in the state, I'm sure Kiffin could care less as he finally has his dream job and is now in charge of one of the best football programs in the country.
