Layla and Lane Kiffin pose with their children. The baby, Monte Knox, was born a month after Lane started his job as head football coach at the University of Tennessee.
After living in Knoxville only a few short weeks, it sure didn't take Layla Kiffin long to find a favorite place to eat.
"Litton's, for sure," Layla said. "I love desserts, and they gave us a big box of desserts to take home. It was awesome. It's definitely high on my list."
Layla, wife of new University of Tennessee's head football coach Lane Kiffin, has already found many reasons to call Knoxville home. It wasn't long after her husband was hired in November as UT's 21st head coach that the Kiffins began making plans for their move to East Tennessee. While Lane wasted no time beginning his work on Rocky Top, the rest of the family waited until May to make the trip from Oakland, CA to Tampa Bay, FL then finally to Knoxville. As far as Lane was concerned, it was about time.
"Sometimes when [the family's] gone, you appreciate them more," admitted Lane. "It's very special to have them back and in our new home."

Lighten up.
Looks like both of you are working through your respective arrested development issues. He's the second grader pushing to the front of the line to get his ice cream, and you?... look at your name... who appointed you as the policeman to enforce some arbitrary rule that you made up?
Danvol1... you can play in this sandbox all you want. 1stPolice...use nice words if you want to play too.

That's the address of the nearest WH where she will probably need to dine after singing rockytop all night long after beating the Gator in the swamp.

Thanks buddy, I actually did read the article first. Didn't know I'd get my balls busted for saying first, just couldn't help it LOL! Yes Layla is H.O.T - Go Vols!!!

Coach,
You are gonna love Knoxville. We are glad you call East Tennessee your HOME! Go Vols!
BallBreaker writes:
I think the (firsts) are more acceptable than someone who thinks of themselves as the police. Being that I have several family members in high ranking positions with both the KPD and KCSD your reference to anything being associated with (police)is ludicrous and demeaning. You are the one that needs to grow up.

No doubt that Litton's makes a good burger. I prefer Sam & Andy's Vol Burger myself though.
sameolvolalum writes:
Oh, you just had to mention my favorite deli in the whole world. When I was a student at UT from '69 through '73, Andy was still alive and made the best deli sandwiches imaginable. Me and my SPE brothers had pizza and beers every Wednesday---and always after UT football and basketball home games. Since I'm living in SC, I can't just hop in the truck and put a deli in my belly, like I could then. Dang! I miss that place!

We can hope.

I prefer the Litton's chicken sandwich. When it's burgers, it's GOTTA be 5 Guys, JMO.

ewwwww, wowa everybody, lookout, this guy has SEVERAL family members in high ranking positions with BOTH the KPD and KCSD.....
Look man, being a janitor at the city county building is NOT a high ranking position within the KPD or KCSD.
I'm am the 1st Police, post "1st" or "first" WILL get you reprimanded...

such a "reprimand" is like the finger wagging I get from the school-marm crossing gard, when she gives the evil eye at 8:00am.
wooooo!

231 days until NSD and you're bragging about "verbal commits" by 16-17 year old kids? Nawww, none of them will change their mind.
What you should be concerned with is the rumblings from the Florida and national press. It appears that not everyone is blind to what is going on with lil' Urbie and the Crocs. But, lil' Urbie still has his dream job in South Bend!
