Wow.

 

[slsmnaz]

it's Kiffin and I hope his plane crashes on the way to Cali

 

[ChanHo78]

usc deserves him, I hope they get sanctioned out the ass too for all the stuff that happened during the Carol era.

Tn fan here - if this turns out to be true, then it only validates all the trash talk we all heard about kiffin before tn hired him. I'm pretty angry about this.

I almost threw my comp when I heard but we'll be ok (when we sign Patterson from TCU)

 

[hdeck]

I hate coaches that leave after one season, unless they are fired. I also hate coaches that leave partway through the season. Yes, I'm looking at you bobby petrino

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

The NCAA needs to do something about coaches just up and leaving for another school whenever it suits them while under contract. It didn't use to happen enough to warrant a penalty but lately it has gotten horrible.

Its the logical move.

Then don't sign a contract that includes an opt-out clause.

+1 to both statements.

 

[Fingolfin269]

Ha I'm a Vols fan and think we got the better end of this deal. But yeah the fact that coaches can just up and walk like this is a little ridiculous. Maybe we can reel in Mike Leach now.

 

[Fingolfin269]

I agree but it still sucks for the players. They either choose to sign or not. They don't get to choose between multiple contract offers.

Kiffin's contract calls for him to pay a $800,000 buyout for leaving Tennessee after only one season - so its not like he's getting away scot free....

 

[Syringer]

Wow, as a UCLA alum and a Raiders fan this is absolutely hilarious.

The general theme of any employment thread here is that you should do what's best for YOURSELF and you should never consider loyalty to your employer, because they would not be loyal to you.

Even if you're pissed about losing your coach you have to admit that passing up this opportunity because of bad timing would really suck.

Bunch of hypocrites.

 

[shiner]

Congrats USC. You just hired one of the top 2 or 3 young douchebags in the world

 

[Syringer]

It'll be ever so sweet to beat Lane Kiffin two years in a row.

Kiffin hasn't done shit in his life...not on his own anyway.

At USC he was the co-offensive coordinator with Steve Sarkasian. Sark was the one who actually designed the offense and called the passing plays. Kiffin only called the run game.

With the Raiders Kiffin accomplished shit. Willing to give him a pass on this one. Although much of what Al Davis said about him when he fired him with cause has turned out to be true.

At Tennessee he was playing with someone else's recruits and only really had success because he brought daddy with him to run the defense. I'm guessing he will do the same at USA.

Kiffin is a fraud and the football equivalent of a gold digging whore. I'm to laugh my ass off when the NCAA finally brings the hammer down on USC for the Reggie Bush fiasco and little Lanie is stuck there to deal with it.

As a Bama fan, all I can saw is LOL.

I was sorta hoping Fat Phil could make it over there.

Was gonna come into this thread and rep Mr. Davis for his personal destruction of Kiffin when Big Al fired his punk ass. Many sided with Kiffin, now we know that Al was right.

I haven't gone through most threads here, but the general theme that I've found is that people favor giving 2 weeks notice, not burning bridges, and if you're going to leave to let your employer's transition period be as easy as possible.

With coaches jumping ship, most notably John Calipari + Pete Carroll are leaving behind messes of programs that they choreographed.

The responsibilities of a D1 head coach are much greater than your average tech support position too. You're in charge of the lives of 75-100 kids, and play a large part in their development professionally as well as professionally. You're as much of an influence of an 18-19 year old's life in college as much as their parents are, and few on ATOT would advocate leaving your kid behind for a "Better opportunity"
