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 didnââ¬â¢t call the plays. And is that really enough? The rest of
his resume surely doesnââ¬â¢t support it.
We know why Oakland Raidersââ¬â¢ owner Al Davis hired him as a 31 year-old
ââ¬Åprodigyââ¬Â with virtually nothing in his background other than his fatherââ¬â¢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
itââ¬â¢s pretty well documented that Davis is nuttier than your great-aunt
Idaââ¬â¢s Christmas fruitcake and is prone to rash decisions. Heââ¬â¢s been doing
it for years and if anything, the passing of time has only made him
crazier.
It didnââ¬â¢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.
