Lane Kiffin used in negative political ad in Tennessee

Lane-Kiffin-political-ad

There are a lot of people in Tennessee who really dislike Lane Kiffin. How many? So many that a Republican who is running for political office in the state thought it would be beneficial to compare his opponent to the former Vols head coach.

Eddie Smith is looking to stop State Rep. Gloria Johnson from winning re-election this fall. In a recent campaign ad, Smith’s political team drew comparisons between Johnson and Kiffin.

“Like Lane Kiffin, who made a lot of big promises to Tennesseans, Gloria Johnson went to Nashville claiming she was going to reform health care and create jobs,” the ad reads. “And like Lane Kiffin, Gloria Johnson didn’t live up to her word.”

As many of you know, Kiffin spent one season as the head football coach at Tennessee before leaving to take the USC job. He led the Vols to a 7-6 record in 2009 after leading fans to believe he was going to turn the program’s recent misfortunes around.
