Once again, I would like to thank Mike Hamilton, the athletic department and our donors for making this possible."Ī native of Escondido, Calif., Eddie Gran comes to Tennessee with more than 20 years of collegiate coaching experience. "To be able to take South Carolina's recruiting coordinator, Mississippi State's recruiting coordinator, Alabama's best recruiter and Auburn's best recruiter over the past 10 years was a great accomplishment for us. It was imperative to not only find great recruiters but great recruiters that knew the conference. Two of the coaches (Orgeron in 2004 and Thompson in 2008) have been recognized as the National Recruiter of the Year. "With the staff now complete, not only do we have the best recruiters in the SEC but some of the best in the country. ![]() It wasn't about doing it fast, it was about doing it right," said Kiffin. "As I said in the first press conference this staff was going to take some time. The hiring of Lane Kiffin's father, Monte, as defensive coordinator and Ed Orgeron as assistant head coach, recruiting coordinator and defensive line coach was announced shortly after Kiffin accepted the head coach position. ![]() Kiffin previously added offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Jim Chaney, quarterbacks coach David Reaves and tight ends and tackles coach James Cregg. Willie Mack Garza will also join Kiffin's staff as defensive backs coach after stints at North Dakota State and Texas Christian. On the defensive side, Lance Thompson comes to Knoxville as a linebackers coach after coaching at Alabama in 2008. On the offensive side, former Auburn running backs and special teams coach Eddie Gran will serve as special teams coordinator and running backs coach for the Vols while former Southern Miss running backs coach Frank Wilson will coach the wide receivers. Tennessee head coach Lane Kiffin finalized his coaching staff with the announcement of four hires, two for each side of the ball. ![]()
