A Knoxville attorney has filed paperwork seeking to rename a local waste water treatment plant in honor of Lane Kiffin.

Drew McElroy paid $262 and filed an application with the Knoxville City Council Public Properties and Facilities Naming Committee to rename the Kuwahee Wastewater Treatment Plant as the Lane Kiffin Sewage Center.

"It dawned on me -- Lane Kiffin told us that he hoped the fans would understand. I thought, 'Well, naming the wastewater plant for him would let him know, I think very clearly, we do understand,' " McElroy told WBIR-TV, a local NBC affiliate. "We want to memorialize his stay here, and I think this would be doing it appropriately."

According to WBIR, McElroy wrote that he wanted "to honor our recently departed head coach and raise awareness of the good work done by the Knoxville Utilities Board."

The committee hasn't set a date for its next meeting, but McElroy said he intends to follow through.
