All this dissing of Lane Kiffin is disgusting. The kid was an EXCELLENT offensive coordinator for USC, genius level. When he was offered the job at Oakland, who wouldn't take that? Sadly, Al Davis IS a scumbag and set Kiffin up to fail. Regardless, Kiffin began showing glimpses that even the woeful Raiders could become something again. Too bad he was fired in favor of Cable (Al Davis is such an idiot).
When offered the Tennessee job, that is also something he couldn't turn down. And a good job at Tennessee Kiffin did! Recruiting went way up and they were competitive in the great SEC (nearly beating Alabama mind you). I'm sure he was planning on being there for 10 years or at least until his dream job at USC opened. Well, it didn't take 10 years, and I'm positive USC was romancing Kiffin to the point he couldn't resist. I'm sure he feels for the Volunteer nation, and I do too, but would any of you Kiffin haters be willing to give up your dream job if offered? I know I wouldn't.
