Welcome to the Pac-10, Lane Kiffin

The kid is a great recruiter. The NFL guys I know were impressed with him during his year in Oakland.

 

Kiffin had that program ready to explode back into the top 10 in just one year. Yeah, they finished 7-6, but they were 5-7 last season, and two of their losses this year were 23-13 to then-No.1 Florida and 12-10 to then-No.2 Alabama. And this was with one of the shittiest QBs in the SEC.

I think Kiffin's perfect for the job. But the biggest score isn't Lane, it's Monte. He is going to be running a pro defense with future pro players. Look out.

 

Yeah but how in the hell will a recruit believe him anymore?

 

i actually think this might go ok. a.) what mizzou said. b.) he's bringing eddie o, who refined usc's recruiting techniques. c.) when they get bitch-slapped by the ncaa, expectations will go down the hopper.

 

And then they got rolled by No. 11 Va. Tech. So let's put the breaks on the "READY TO EXPLODE!!!!!one1!!" shall we?

 

Indeed. In one year under Kiffin, Tennessee went from seven losses, top-notch recruiting and strong defense to SIX losses, top-notch recruiting and strong defense.

 

Mike Slive just uncorked a bottle of champagne.

 

Schools do honor contracts in that if they fire a coach, they still pay him his salary, or they come up with a settlement.

And if Kiffin tries to lecture USC players about being committed to a team concept, they should just let his words fall on deaf ears.

 

One more reason why he's a little shit. USC is welcome to the turd.

 

Yeah, because 7-6 just screams top 10.

 

USC AD Mike Garrett is an idiot.

 

UCLA will be top 10 in football in under four years, and everyone else in the Pac 10 just got a little better.
