FanHouse Layla Kiffin

In the minutes after he was hired at Tennessee, Lane Kiffin's wife, Layla, shot to the forefront of Google search results. At the time she was pregnant with her third child. None of that mattered. Vol fans, and college football fans across the country, were immediately amazed with how far Lane Kiffin had outkicked his coverage. Layla's good looks and Lane's recruiting offered tangible proof, if any was needed, that my theory -- the hotter the wife the better the recruiter -- was gold.

Now, having delivered her third child, rumors swirled Friday morning that Layla would be posing for Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue. As first reported by the Sports Animal radio station in Knoxville, the rumor swept the Internets and sent pulses racing and subscription rates surging in the Tennessee Valley. Alas, it was not to be. "Absolutely not true," said Tiffany Carpenter, director of UT public relations.

In the past few years, many colleges have begun to roll out all-day football camps for women. Sometimes these situations become borderline awkward, such as when hundreds of female Virginia Tech fans took photos of players as they flexed in their underwear. Nothing kills the fun of college athletics more than your wife coming home with pictures of your favorite players wearing nothing but compression shorts. Now Lane Kiffin and Tennessee are joining other SEC schools like South Carolina and Georgia which have been offering women this experience for several years.

Only they're rolling out the university's No. 1 starlet to open up the festivities ... Layla Kiffin.

Lane Kiffin's wife Layla Kiffin is, to put it delicately, smoking hot. On the day Lane Kiffin was announced as Tennessee coach, "Layla Kiffin" and "Lane Kiffin's wife" took over Google, registering among the most Googled terms in America on that November day. All this attention came despite the fact that Layla was eight months pregnant with her third child at the time of the announcement. Yep, even at eight months pregnant, she sent these here Internets spinning round and round.

It also served as the first notice of how seriously SEC football fans take the sport ... and the coach's family. In almost two years with the NFL's Oakland Raiders, Layla went unnoticed. Five minutes after Lane's hiring at Tennessee, internet cables in the South were smoking white hot, it was like a new book from the Bible had been uncovered.

As you probably heard, Lane Kiffin has agreed to a deal with the Tennessee Volunteers to be the head coach next season. Kiffin had a press conference on Monday with Tennessee that confirmed as much.

That isn't really the reason for the post, however. The reason is, with Kiffin heading to Tennessee so will his incredibly, "ohmygoodnessdidyouseeher" hot wife. Her name is Layla Kiffin, daughter of John Reaves, former assistant for the University of Florida football team, and she is pretty gorgeous. Don't believe me? Check out www.iwoulddolaylakiffin.com, a website put together by some of her, ummm, fans.

Not only does that website present a rather interesting statement, it has put together a collection of photos Layla was nice enough to take that show that she is, in fact, a beautiful women (but be nice, she is eight months pregnant).

How popular is she right now? According to Clay over at Deadspin, "Lane Kiffin's wife" was the most searched on Google trends with "Layla Kiffin" coming in third after the Monday press conference.

Oh, and there is a Facebook group, "Our Coach's Wife is Hotter Than Your Coach's Wife," and it has 1,785 members and counting. I'd say they could make a rather compelling argument.
