Title: USC fires Lane Kiffin Post by: pmull on September 29, 2013, 07:10:24 AM Kiffin fired mid-season.
Quote Southern California head football coach Lane Kiffin was fired Sunday morning, just hours after the Trojans lost to Arizona State. The Trojans fell to 3-2 overall and 0-2 in Pac-12 play with a 62-41 loss in Tempe on Saturday night. USC athletic director Pat Haden informed Kiffin of his dismissal upon the team's arrival in Los Angeles early Sunday morning. http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2013/09/29/usc-fires-lane-kiffin/?intcmp=HPBucket http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/college-football/story/_/id/9742627/usc-trojans-fire-coach-lane-kiffin-3-2-start-blowout-loss Title: Re: USC fires Lane Kiffin Post by: Jamos on September 29, 2013, 07:14:26 AM It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. ;)
Title: Re: USC fires Lane Kiffin Post by: BAMADCHAMPSHIPS on September 29, 2013, 07:19:08 AM I don't believe it. Didn't the president and the higher ups say they supported him not too long ago... ???

I mean, he always falls up, right? Title: Re: USC fires Lane Kiffin Post by: carl childers on September 29, 2013, 08:12:08 AM He will be named the coach of the New York Giants this afternoon.
Title: Re: USC fires Lane Kiffin Post by: Marshal Dillon on September 29, 2013, 08:30:00 AM He will be named the coach of the New York Giants this afternoon. Don't laugh, it might happen. It's like Charles Barkley said about Kiffin, he must have photographs on someone to never achieve anything but get hired to elite jobs. ???

It's like Charles Barkley said about Kiffin, he must have photographs on someone to never achieve anything but get hired to elite jobs.How does he get those jobs? I once thought it was his father, a talented D-coordinator. But maybe it's his trophy wife. Does she provide some service?

Lack of defense can lose jobs.
Quote This past Saturday -- one week after outlasting Utah State, 17-14 -- USC allowed 42 points in the second half to hand ASU a 62-41 victory. http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/eye-on-college-football/23909132/lane-kiffin-fired-at-uscThe USC defense, which entered the ASU game ranked 4th in NCAA defense, allowed 602 yards to the Sun Devils.

Shocked I tell you.
Not. Everybody on the planet saw this coming. So why aren't the administrators resigning. They are the ones that hired him when everyone else with two neurons to rub together knew this was a doomed hire. Title: Re: USC fires Lane Kiffin Post by: Chechem on September 29, 2013, 10:11:27 AM I'm Shocked! Shocked I tell you. You don't work at a university do you?? Just a guess. :lol2:Not.

Title: Re: USC fires Lane Kiffin Post by: ALTideUp on September 29, 2013, 11:05:55 AM Anyone know what his buyout is? I bet the little brat is gonna get a king's ransom for being the worst coach in America.
Title: Re: USC fires Lane Kiffin Post by: ricky023 on September 29, 2013, 01:14:53 PM This did not not surprise me at all. Pat Haden always was a QB with patience and he played that patience on Kiffin. He knew he only had a small window and he would get to fire him. We all know Pat Haden didn't like hin when he came on board as AD but now to pick ED Orgeron as interim coach is kind of surprising. I guess we shall see. RTR!
Title: Re: USC fires Lane Kiffin Post by: Reelvalue on September 29, 2013, 01:19:45 PM Look for Chris Petersen at BSU to be the next coach, he is a S. California native, and rumor's are he is looking for a change.

Title: Re: USC fires Lane Kiffin Post by: pmull on September 29, 2013, 05:25:48 PM Orgeron has been named interim HC. :dunno: Not sure what Pat Haden is thinking.

Maybe Haden thinks Orgeron looks good in photos.

Orgeron was the D-line coach for USC when they did all that winning under Pete Carroll.

I guess his reputation is better on the West Coast than it is in the SEC.
