Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
Lane Kiffin, let's hope you're not fired in two years, lest you remember a failed tenure in Knoxville with anger each time you stare at your son.
Kiffin and his wife announced the birth of their child, Monte Knox Kiffin, who will go by the name Knox according to his father. This may be adding to a sturdy case of child abuse in the Kiffin household, as Lane has already named his daughters Landry (as in Tom) and Presley (as in Elvis.)
It's a nice gesture, but if he'd really wanted to impress the locals, though, why not Peyton? Or Neyland? Or better yet, just shortcut the middle man of meaning and dive right into a real statement by naming your kid something really impressive, like "Asskick Jones," "Facebreak Whiskeysnorter," or "12 Gauge Reckoning Kiffin." Name your child that and win five games in the SEC, and you'll start a veritable craze in the hills of East Tennessee with style statements like that.

We got Lane, Layla, and then Landry.. But this Presley and Monte business doesn’t keep up with the LK trend they had going.

I would have gone for:
Rocky Top Kiffin, or
Big Orange Kiffin, or
Gators Suck Kiffin, or
Superman Kiffin (after Tim Tebow :lol: ), or
Huge Junk Kiffin (to impress the ladies :wink: )
Yeah, those would rock.

If I ever bear a male child, I plan to name him Allosaurus Jones Monponsett.

The good thing is that the kid will only have 2 Ks for his initials instead of 3.

That names going to seem pretty funny to the folks of Los Angeles in three or four years when Lane takes over Southern Cal from Pete Carrol.

Not if it’s just a coincidence, and the kid isn’t named Knox after Knoxville or Knox county, but after Chuch Knox, former L.A. Rams head coach. You laugh, but it is entirely possible that Kiffin admires Knox, and had already planned the name before the UT job came up. It happens.
When my wife was a little girl, she dreamed of the daughter she would one day have; blonde, blue-eyed, and named Christina Elisabeth. We have a blonde, blue-eyed daughter, and it’s a total coincidence that both names are family names. My name is Chris, and it’s a family name, and Elisabeth was my mother’s, grandmother’s, great-grandmother’s, great-great-grandmother’s, and sister’s name. Coincidences do happen.

One year later, nearly to the day, and the above comment from Sexy Pete comes true. Although a bit earlier than predicted. Lamey Kiffen has left UTK for USC.
Good Freakn’ Bye. USC will be sorry they took him, he makes a habit of leaving in a wake controversy.
Any guesses from Sexy Pete on how long he will stay at USC before some NFL team sweeps him away again?
Just note…Kiffen is a LIAR!
