07:14 AM ET 01.13 | Lane Kiffin said leaving Tennessee "was not an easy decision," in comments shortly after addressing Volunteers players Tuesday night. "I really believe [USC] is the only place I would have left here to go." That didn't seem to placate dyed-in the-orange-wool Tennessee fans, however. News of the coach's departure was met with bitterness. Reports from the Tennessee campus said nearly 1,000 students had gathered outside the school's football complex waiting for Kiffin's departure and fans held signs calling him a "traitor" and worse, while others burned Kiffin T-shirts.
