While it is fun to laugh at Kiffin's misfortune - and I am among the leaders in the clubhouse - remember this, he is 38 years old and worth what, $12-15 million or more probably.

Screw coaching. If I was him, I'd hold a presser this afternoon.

"Sorry I fucked up your reason for living, inbreds. Laugh it up. I can take it. But about the time you are getting your first smoke break from the factory assembly line tomorrow and wondering which bill you can pay this month, me and my Hooter's waitress wife will be drinking margaritas on a beach somewhere in the Caymans."

 

I would pay good money to see that news conference, if only for the reaction of the fan base. It would be hilarious.

 

Watching the Pat Haden press conference online right now. He says Orgeron will be the interim head coach. TBF beat me to linking the "Colonel Reb" video. Man, that just never gets old.

 

YAW YAW YAW YAW YAAAAAW YAAAAAAW, YAAAAAAW YAAAAAAW TEMP JOB

 

I mean, we're talking about Southern California, not Mississippi. It's a private school in Los Angeles.

 

Yeah, except that when you're talking about Kiffin's trail of tears, you're also including a whole bunch of Tennessee and Raider fans, along with the Trojan fans. Three separate fan bases are getting their schadenfreude joy from today's news, and let's just say two of em fit SJ's description a bit better than the third. The spoiled punk finally got his comeuppance.

 

As one Twitterer known here tweeted: Hadenfreude: Joy at the firing of Lane Kiffin.

 

Pretty low, but that's fitting for Kiffin. As someone who doesn't like USC, I was hoping they would keep him. As mentioned by someone else, when USC has a good coach it's a dangerous program.

Pullman holds about 36K; CLink holds about 65K. With so many Coug alums in the Puget Sound area, a non-conference game in Seattle each year makes sense. I believe the original thought was WAZZU could attract some bigger programs who feel 36K isn't big enough. It never worked out that way, though at one point Ohio State was going to come out before they bailed. Instead, there were teams like Nevada and Colorado (long before the Buffs joined the Pac-12). By the second year the Cougs were playing Idaho in Seattle, which was bizarre. Grambling State in 2005 was probably the low point.
I don't like the idea of moving a home conference game to Seattle, as it dilutes the home field advantage, especially against an Oregon school. But if you can't attract a quality non-conference opponent and Seattle alums unable to travel to Pullman (about six hours over the mountains) want a local game, your hands are tied somewhat.

 

Clearly Pat Haden's message to Orgeron in "Lemsday."
