Eric Berry has some thoughts on Lane Kiffin's departure from UT to USC...
When Pete Carroll left Southern Cal for the NFL, everyone wondered who would take his place.
Everyone but Eric Berry.
"I immediately knew — ‘Oh, it’s going to be Coach Kiffin,’" he said.
The Tennessee defensive back was spot on. Lane Kiffin ditched the Volunteers and hooked up with the Trojans, a move that shocked the sports world and incited the Vol Nation.
But you won’t hear Berry ranting about the departure or fuming about the fallout.
"That’s his dream job," he said. "Just like anyone else, if you had a chance to go do your dream job, you’d probably leave, too."
Well, somebody gets it.
Berry is spot on, why don't more people get that.
Tennessee is a fine school and has some nice traditions but UT fans are completely missing it if they thought Kiffin wasn't going to leave at some point...especially when the USC job opened up.
Time to move on...
