Hats off to Tennessee Coach Derek Dooley, who pulled a rabbit out of the hat with an excellent recruiting class on Wednesday. Thanks to GoVolsXtra.com for excellent coverage, including videos and stories (as usual).
Also, a thought on ex-coach Lane Kiffin: I don't have any ill will toward him for leaving the program after just one year.
@jonvines said to me on Twitter that Vols fans must be glad Kiffin is gone. I said yes, but without any anger. Think about the awesome year we just had, thanks to Kiffin. We came off that horrible 2007 season and immediately he had us laughing at Urban "Honey, I got a Headache" Whiner and the Gators and feeling all proud of the program and stuff. He gets Tennessee back on the map and turns in a winning season and then blows town for USC -- which then creates the opportunity to get what could turn out to be a coach who may truly turn this program around for the long haul.
So I say thanks to Coach Kiffin for being an excellent place holder.

PS -- oops, almost forgot. I'm presenting this sweet Tennessee airplane as a way to celebrate the Vols' successful signing day. The pic was provided by faithful BOVB reader James Rink up in Tennessee, who spotted it on a Vols chatboard. (BTW, anyone know what kind of plane this is? Is it a homebuilt?)
