Second-year Ole Miss and former Tennessee head coach Lane Kiffin has returned to Neyland Stadium for the first time as an opposing head coach.
Kiffin guided the Vols to a 7-6 record in 2009. Tennessee defeated Georgia and appeared in the Chick-fil-A Bowl under Kiffin.
Kiffin resigned as the Vols’ head coach on Jan. 12, 2010, leaving for the same capacity at USC.

Ryan Bolinger served as Assistant to the Head Coach to Kiffin in 2009. Bolinger oversaw and monitored daily tasks and Kiffin’s schedule at Tennessee.
Ahead of the Tennessee-Ole Miss game (7:30 p.m. EDT, SEC Network), Bolinger described how Jan. 10, 2010 unfolded when he resigned.
“How I first heard about it, some of the players started to text me, saying there is a team meeting tonight, what is going on,” Bolinger told Vols Wire. “I was like ‘I have know idea.’
“I am trying to get a hold of Lane. I’m texting David Blackburn, anybody I can get a response from. Then, eventually, I heard about what was going on.
