Combine a grass-eating coach and a wrestler-turned-politician and you’ve got more proof that Tennessee’s hunt for a new head coach has gone way past wacky.
WWE superstar Kane, whose real name is Glenn Jacobs, endorsed former LSU coach Les Miles for the Vols’ head coaching job on Twitter Thursday:
Good friend who works with @CoachLesMiles just told me that Les is extremely interested in UT position. He'd look great in Orange. #CallLes

This isn’t just a random celebrity endorsement, though, Jacobs is running for mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, which includes Knoxville and the UT campus.
