Tenn. lawmakers vote against Kiffin
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Every year Tennessee lawmakers pass a resolution honoring the University of Tennessee's football coach. Not this year.
Lane Kiffin's sudden departure for Southern California left a bitter taste across the Volunteer State and the state legislature.
Republican House Speaker Kent Williams asked members of the chamber Wednesday to hold a voice vote on whether to congratulate Kiffin for his single 7-6 season.
The response was unanimous: "No!"
