I think Kiffin is a douche so this news is great. I do give him props though for having a smoking hot wife.

GOOD! Don't care about USC at all but I agree he is a douche. Hate the guys who flip flop around and then try to go back where they started...although Saban is doing his thing @ Alabama but he's an exception lol

Someone the guy always ends up with a better job. So given his previous career trajectory I full expect alabama to fire Saban and hire Kiffin as his replacement

Alabama may be in the South, but that doesn't make them incredibly stupid, like USC has shown.

It's a lost season for SC but they have a LOT of talent on that team...I'm expecting a solid season for them next year (this coming from a Bruin no less).

Disaster seems to follow this guy wherever he goes. That said, he was handicapped pretty bad at USC with the sanctions that he had nothing to do with. Diminished roster and difficulty recruiting do to no bowl games is going to make it tough for any coach to succeed. The fact the team was grossly overrated making the drops in the ranking look really bad when they never should have been that high to start with. Not saying he's a good coach, just that about anyone would have had extreme difficulty doing well at USC lately.

What a douche. First he poached recruits when he left TN, then he came up to happy valley to poach Penn State's recruits. I bet Silas Redd is wishing he stuck around happy valley now. :biggrin:

this guy is a career liar and totally untrustworthy. I wouldn't hire him to flip burgers.

Caught lying about Alshon Jeffrey,
caught lying about voting USC #1 in coaches poll
caught lying about Urban Myer calling a recruit
and who knows how many lies he made around the Oakland Raiders situation.

Fuck Kiffin. He is a douchebag and the only reason he ever had a job in the NFL or NCAA was because of his dad.

Kiffin is a complete jerk. He was able to get great opportunities thanks to his dad, but the way the guy operates is just not what you want for the face of your organization. Three major organizations have made the huge mistake of hiring him now, I doubt a fourth will anytime soon.

Good riddance to Lane, I'm sure USC will be much better going forward.

I'm happy....I just wish they could take his money back too. He's not worth the signing bonuses he's scammed over the years. I live in TN. I'm not a college fan, but when I heard he was trying to recruit coaching staff from the Tennessee Titans organization, I was really angry....more disappointed that they dropped the charges they filed.

I won't be surprised if the Jaguars hire him.

He talks a good game and has plenty of built-in excuses as to why it did not work out in Oakland (Al) and USC (sanctions).

Some team or school somewhere will hire him for next season.

I would be surprised if he took a down-and-out team; that is not his style. He will target an NFL or college team where either the coach is retiring or the team is talented, but under-performing under the old coach (like Reid and the Chiefs this year).
