'Pete's over' -- How USC's hopes of recapturing glory failed the Trojans

you morons homering for Kiffen like that idiot ***** at stateoftheu.com need to read this schitt

Rumors were rampant that Lane Kiffin -- then the mercurial head coach at the University of Tennessee -- would replace Carroll, but most players wanted nothing to do with him. Some knew of Kiffin from his prior stint as a Trojans assistant, and, according to a former player at the meeting who does not wish to be named, they considered Kiffin a "clown." The players contacted alumni and asked them to go to then-athletic director Mike Garrett on their behalf. They wanted Garrett to hear their disapproval of Kiffin, and that they had a better head coach in mind. Someone who walked like Pete, talked like Pete, ran down the sideline like Pete and could assuredly keep Camelot going like Pete.

His name was Steve Sarkisian.

and then read this:

"The AD didn't want to hear us because he wanted Kiff," says a former player. "And that was a huge deal because not a lot of players had a relationship with Kiff from before, and Kiff was carrying this baggage from the Raiders stuff and the Tennessee stuff. So the players were, 'Hey, we didn't want this guy. This guy is kind of a clown.'"

So because the players wanted Steve Sarkisian, who isn't really a good coach, and is an alcoholic, that somehow means Lane Kiffin isn't a good HC? Especially considering when Kiffen was first OC at USC he was under 30 (so was Sarkisian). I guess people can't grow at all, and the same person they were a decade ago they are now...especially after working as OC for a no-nonsense HC like Nick saban.

Honestly, I think the fact he has been fired twice is more indicative of him being a crap coach.

Lost the Ohio state game all by himself, one of the worst called games ever for a Bama coach. I don't want Miami hiring a bad coach this time, we need to win.
