Kiffin Fired

[nando714]

"Kiffin was pulled off the team bus in a parking lot at Los Angeles International Airport by Haden for a brief meeting with the AD and several other school administrators and was told he was fired, the Daily News reported."

Ouch

Daaaaaaaammmmmmnnnnnn lol

"Lane you're going to need to call a cab. This bus is for USC personnel only."

Yeah, that's a pretty shi**y way to do it.

 

That said, southern cal will have their pick of a lot of top coaches. Agents of coaches

all across the country are calling Haden as we speak.

 

Jay Paterno?

[nando714]

Coach O interim HC

Del Rio is staying for the entire Broncos season before considering any other position.

Ouch

 

He exits the bus, the bus door shuts behind him and starts to drive away before he's 4 feet away from it.

[stevestevens]

I have missed ie. I knew this news would get him back.

[HaloCory22]

What great news to wake up to! Awesome!

[Vegas Halo Fan]

No to del rio please

He's just living off Manning

 

Yeah, he was so great in Jacksonville that the team this year is his legacy.

 

The only surprise to me is the timing. Everyone pretty much knew that this was coming, it was just a matter of when. It's pretty bad when your AD believes that the team is better off with an interim coach than even letting you coach one more game.

 

Kiffin is scum. He did enough in one year at Tennessee to basically turn everyone in the south against him, and he wasn't even that successful.

I'm sure gonna miss Kiffin. Just when you thought he had reached the bottom for being a dbag, he'd pull out a shovel and start digging. He was comic gold.

[Bruce Nye]

I think Mike Riley will be considered as well.

 

Holtz?  No way - they have to get someone like Carroll who gets in the community and establishes a relationship with the HS coaches. 

[nate]

Mike Riley is a damn good coach but do you think he can recruit well?  He hasn't done great at OSU.  Of course that could mostly be due to it being OSU.

[RallyMo]

Jeff Tedford is available.

 

DO IT!

[HaloCory22]

Kevin Sumlin would be an interesting hire too. He's losing his OL and Johnny Football after this year. I'd be okay with that.

[RallyMo]

Texas A&M is pretty much on its way to being a bigger program than USC.

 

It's a lateral move at best and quite possibly a step down for Sumlin to go to USC. If he wants to go, it'll be because he wants to live in Southern California.

 

I doubt there's any amount of money USC could throw at Sumlin that A&M couldn't and wouldn't match.

 

In short: it's not going to be him as long as this season goes well for them/him.

Lol ^^^ USC is a top 5 job anyway you wanna put it

USC needs to compete with Stanford and Oregon for top dog out west. While A&M has lsu, georgia, Alabama, Florida, not to mention Texas to name a few.

Lateral move Lol

Edit- it aint sumlin either that i can agree with

Agree with Rally, I said as much earlier.  Sumlin isn't happening.

 

R.I.P., Lane Kiffin's Career As USC Head Coach (2010-2013)

 

The video in that link is hilarious.

[HaloCory22]

USC is USC. A&M is A&M. Money talks and its freaking College Station vs Southern California for crying out loud. If we want Sumlin, we'll get him.

I'm not an A&M fan at all. I REALLY dislike Manziel. With that said...

 

If you think that A&M can't or won't match what USC can offer him financially (if A&M wants to keep him), you're living in a fantasy world or you know NOTHING about what you are talking about. I'm serious. You must have visions of a bunch of people chewing on straw and driving tractors in your head or something.

 

This is Texas A&M right now:

 

 

This is USC right now:

You're completely off base in thinking "If we want Sumlin, we'll get him."

 

Here's how you should be thinking to reflect reality: "If Sumlin wants us, we'll get him."

 

So given that, here's what I now expect to hear from you: "We don't want Sumlin."

 

Like I ALREADY said, the ONLY thing in USC's favor is location. It's not money or foreseeable program ceiling in the next decade.

 

USC is a great program and a good school, but you severely underestimate how much money and dedication is being infused into their program right now.

USC has a redevelopment project starting this off season on the coliseum. Brand new facilities etc.

Sumlin was instantly kill it in recruiting if he came out here.He wouldn't have to compete with southern schools and texas. He'd be a slam dunk hire but idk if USC is looking in his direction but who knows

[RallyMo]

I know USC has a redevelopment project. It's dwarfed by A&Ms project.

 

Sumlin is killing it recruiting at A&M.

 

Like I said: lateral move.

[AngelsLongBall]

If Garrett were still AD, I'd fully expect him to announce the hiring of Sark this weekend. 

[RallyMo]

I would pay $20 to see that happen.

Its the state of Texas. A&M can go 3-10 and still sell out and still raise hundreds of millions for new facilities. Mike Sherman was there and he was not nearly successful. The reason they are a successful team now is bc of 1) Sumlin and 2) Manziel. A&M to USC is not a lateral move. Sorry.

Honestly before last yr not many ppl cared about A&M. Fast forward to Sumlin. SEC & Manziel now they're a name brand nationally. USC will always be and has been a name brand nationally.
