So I was sitting on my couch looking through all the sports news when I see "BREAKING NEWS: KIFFIN TO USC." I did a double take as I couldn't even believe the fact that Lane Kiffin, the same guy who claimed that he was going to sing "Rocky Top" all night long when he beat Florida (he never beat Florida) decided to jettison to sunny Los Angeles to take over the Southern California program that was previously under the control of Pete Carroll.
As I am reading the news on several sports outlets and listening to sportscenter, I'm thinking, what did Lane Kiffin do to deserve a top job like USC. Sure he did a great job recruiting talent to Tennessee and for a few months, put Tennessee on the map, but he honestly caused so much drama in his short tenure as the Tennessee head coach. He rubbed Georgia coach Mark Richt, Alabama coach Nick Saban, South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier and Florida coach Urban Meyer the wrong way, calling them out about them trying to steal a recruit or two or just simply attacking their program.
Kiffin has caused a whole lot of problems since he was in Oakland. The fact that I have to look back and think that Al Davis was right about one of his coaches is sickening. But the fact remains, that Kiffin pulled a "Bobby Petrino" in the college ranks by leaving his own program without even a warning.
I just hope that USC wont suffer the same fate that Tennessee did this entire season.
