Lane Kiffin makes score prediction for Tennessee-Florida game
Lane Kiffin knows all about the Tennessee-Florida rivalry.
The one-time Vols leader in 2009 (now at FAU) coached against Urban Meyer’s Gators that year, Tim Tebow’s final season. Florida won the hard-fought game 23-13 in Gainesville. It was a much closer game than what most figured that season, too.
Now, it’s time for another Vols-Gators matchup Saturday, but this year doesn’t have that much luster. Tennessee enters 1-2 having lost to Georgia State and BYU, and Florida enters 3-0 having just defeated Kentucky, thanks to backup quarterback Kyle Trask.
Kiffin, who loves to weigh in on various topics via social media, gave his score prediction for Saturday’s rivalry game in The Swamp. The FAU head coach says Tennessee will pull the upset 24-23.
Tenn 24-23

The Vols and Gators kickoff Saturday at 12:00 p.m. ET on ESPN.
I think he wants to be considered for the HC job if Pruitt doesn’t get it together. He might want to focus on making his current team better.
Beat me to it
Ditto
Agreed.
Why do we care what he thinks again? He’s probably closer right now to flaming out at FAU and being fired than being a SEC head coach.
Right now, he’s just a decent/average mid-major head coach. That’s all.
That’s funny, I remember when he was hired at UT back then he also predicted they would beat the Gators. His predictions are as worthless as those from the several Georgia Nostradumba$$es
Yea. not real big on his predictions. Wish he woulda picked UF…
Here’s a prediction from a Georgia fan: UGA wipes the floor with UF. The gators are are an undisciplined, pile of garbage. Y’all will lose to LSU and UGA by more than 2 scores.
“Pile of garbage”? I have a question for ya. What do you think about the rest of the SEC East? Cause the only team out of the east that will beat Florida is Georgia. So if Florida is a pile of garbage but they only lose to Georgia in the east, then doesn’t that make the entire division garbage? So Georgia plays in a division with a bunch of garbage.
So the rest of the East is a bigger pile of garbage? We agree.
Only team?No y’all are going to lose to South Carolina and Mizzou as well y’all are hot garbage that have played nothing but hot garbage
Hey, army guy! Don’t trash-talk us!
Antediluvian I don’t like you but I’m taking your side this time. SC and Mizzou will beat Florida I also think the Mizzou game could be a trap for UGA
Natedawg, Florida is playing Tennessee and Georgia is playing ND this week. We all know every Dawg fan’s entire world revolves around everything Gator and you guys can’t focus on anything else, but maybe you should focus on the team you’re actually facing this week and then the 3 other teams you face after that, instead of the one you don’t play for over a month. I know that’s asking a lot to a Dawg fan.
Agreed – I would laugh my arse off if they lose at home to the Golden Dome!
Another Georgia Nostradumba$$
And an obsessed one to boot coming to a Florida/Tennessee article to brag about the leghumpers.
Most obnoxious fan base of all
I don’t recall hearing him ever predict a win vs any team but guess its possible. Not many head coaches would do something that stupid but he was pretty brash back then and still is I think. Regardless I don’t want him back as coach and I hope he is right!
You dont recall “We’ll be singing Rocky Top all night long after we beat the Gators”?
I do, and it was especially tacky/trashy from another outsider. I resented it then and now!
I got a guy. He can help you get your foot out of your mouth.
Yeah… and Lane Kiffin is a moron. The only thing he as going for him is Monte whispering in his ear.
Y’all are crazy. Tenn would be lucky to have lane back.
I am sure they would have him back,but as soon as he was offered a better job he’d be gone.He did not even last the whole season last time he was at UT if i remember correctly.It also looks like he needs to lay off whatever he’s eating.Sure has put on the weight.
Now that’s how to pick a catfight! Jim, did you just watch “Mean Girls”?
How much success is he having at fau?
Lane only cares about Lane. In the meantime, he’s likely wiping his sword in all the Boca Raton gold diggers until he gets another opportunity to coach at a “better” school. Worry about coaching the Owls, Lane. That’s supposedly what you’re being paid to do.
He reminds me of Trump, hate him too!
Um, no – you “outsiders” are incorrect if you think Vol Nation wants him back. Big fat NO!
The sad thing is that Kiffin would probably be an upgrade over at least half of the current HC’s in the SEC.
True. As long as you’re not referring to the coaches for our particular teams, of course.
The number one thing a HC is good for (if he’s good for anything at all) is having a name (based on history) that is a recruit magnet. After that, make sure you have assistant coaches who know what they’re doing and get it done.
Every high-school football player wants to be recruited by a coach
who (1) will play him and (2) has a big-time winning record.
Would I replace Odom with Kiffin? Ask me after this season is over.
Be our guest, Tigers…. I learned early ‘It’s ok to make mistakes, as long as you don’t keep making the same ones.”
Do you think Kiffin had a few too many Appletinis and meant to add the words “loses by” between “Tenn” and “24-23?”
Sounds like someone wants their job back.
If Trask looks as good this week as he did vs UK, its going to be a long day for Tennessee, another long day I should have said.
You better worry about your own team – sure would be pitiful if y’all stubbed your toe between the hedges tomorrow to Notre Lame.
SHADDAP LAME KITTEN!! I have zero interest in anything that idiot has to say.
I am surrounded by Vol fans here in Tennessee. They wouldn’t allow Kiffin anywhere near Knoxville even if he was the last coach on Earth. That ship has sailed.
But the guy can coach offense and he’s an excellent recruiter. He’s also pretty funny.
The teenager that never grew up. This guy would sell his kids overseas to gain more attention.
