Somebody thought former Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin wasn't bulletproof

Apparently, hating Lane Kiffin has never gotten old for Tennessee fans.

Kiffin was Tennessee's head coach in 2009 when current LSU coach Ed Orgeron was on his staff. He stayed one season, went 7-6 and then left in January 2010 to become head coach at USC.

His sudden departure enraged Tennessee fans and students so much that students gathered in front of Tennessee's indoor practice facility that houses the Vols' football coaching offices and started several small fires.

Eventually, Kiffin returned to Knoxville when he was Alabama's offensive coordinator. As he recalls with ESPN's Marty Smith in Smith's podcast, he was advised to wear a bulletproof vest before he got off the bus at Neyland Stadium.
