Kiffin and Staff Make a Professional Approach to Vols

When Lane Kiffin walked to the podium, a hush fell on the room. Dozens of cameras turned on. Recorders clicked. Eyes were on Kiffin.
Although he was in slacks and a white collared shirt instead of his usual work attire of shorts and a long-sleeved T-shirt, Sunday was still business for Kiffin and staff.
"They're going non-stop," Kiffin said. "Half of them sleep in [the office]. It's just a competitive atmosphere. We're always trying to find a way to be better than somebody else and we challenge them with that all the time: Your job as a position coach is to have the best position group on this whole team. I've been so impressed with our staff. "

The professional atmosphere is evident from the resumes. Four of the assistant coaches were in the NFL last year. And it's all carried over to the players.
