Tennessee will introduce former Oakland Raiders head coach Lane Kiffin as the program's 21st head coach during a 2 p.m. press conference Monday, UT announced on its Web site Sunday evening.
"During the past few weeks, we have been on the road meeting with prospective coaches and talking to some of football's most influential and knowledgeable players and coaches about the future of the Tennessee football program," UT athletic director Mike Hamilton said in a statement.
"We have had unbelievable interest from great coaches. When it was all said and done, we felt like Lane Kiffin was a perfect fit for Tennessee. He's energetic, charismatic, consumed with recruiting and has had a lifelong love affair with football."
More details as they become available on GoVolsXtra.com and in Monday's News Sentinel.
