KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (TSK) -- The University of Tennessee has hired Tigers Woods to serve as recruiting co-coordinator, head coach Lane Kiffin announced Friday.

"We felt like we really needed someone else to help Ed [Orgeron], but it had to be someone who understood our methods and what we were trying to do here," Kiffin said. "This is a perfect fit."

Woods told reporters he knew the job was the right one for him when he saw stories about the NCAA's inquiry into the Vols recruiting methods.
