Lane Kiffin Departs Tennessee Volunteers for USC Trojans Job - Gator - 01-13-2010 What is so damn special about Lane Kiffin, anyway? I mean really, what has he done to get one of the most coveted jobs in college football? OK, sure. He sat at the knee of Pete Carroll at USC for six years as an assistant, the last two as an offensive coordinator, but even as the coordinator he reportedly didn’t call the plays. And is that really enough? The rest of his resume surely doesn’t support it. We know why Oakland Raiders’ owner Al Davis hired him as a 31 year-old “prodigy” with virtually nothing in his background other than his father’s legacy (Monte Kiffen has a tremendous reputation as defensive coordinator for many years) and only two years as a college coordinator. He had absolutely no head coaching experience and zero NFL experience. Because it’s pretty well documented that Davis is nuttier than your great-aunt Ida’s Christmas fruitcake and is prone to rash decisions. He’s been doing it for years and if anything, the passing of time has only made him crazier. It didn’t take too long for Davis to realize the error of his ways. I said he was nuts, not stupid. He fired Kiffin after about a season and a half and a 5-15 record. Read more at: Lane Kiffin Departs Tennessee Volunteers for USC Trojans Job http://www.tmrzoo.com/?p=6916 Enjoy!!
