Coaching hot seat????

From Coach's hot seat.com:

Let’s make this very simple: Lane Kiffin is not remotely qualified to be the head football coach at USC.

All of the head coaches in I-A and over half of the assistant coaches are more qualified than Kiffin to be the head football coach at USC. We know dozens of high schools coaches that are more qualified to be the head coach at USC than Lane Kiffin and there must be thousands more that we have never heard of that not only could coach circles around Kiffin and his Gang, they would not be an absolute ass to boot!

Lane Kiffin is the head football coach at USC today because his Daddy is Monte Kiffin and thus Lane has “Kiffin” behind is name AND because three men in positions of power made three incredibly stupid decisions to hire Lane Kiffin as their head football coach.

1. The first man would be Al Davis who hired Lane Kiffin at the Oakland Raiders. Al Davis is crazy. Enough said.

2. The second man would be Mike Hamilton, AD at Tennessee. Kiffin’s agent went to Tennessee and somehow got Kiffin into the conversation at Tennessee and for some incredibly stupid reason Mike Hamilton hired him. If you could get Mike Hamilton into a room today and he would say that hiring Lane Kiffin was the right decision then Mike Hamilton should be fired on the spot. Stupid Is As Stupid Does and hiring Lane Kiffin at Tennessee was STUPID!

3. The third man is USC AD Mike Garrett. Now, we don’t know if Garrett was the only person involved in hiring Kiffin or not, but Garrett is the AD and we rather doubt that Kiffin would have been hired without Garrett’s approval. Maybe, but we doubt it. Still, Lane Kiffin was hired at USC and that was an incredibly stupid decision, even STUPIDER than the ones Davis and Hamilton made because of one very simple reason…”

That’s right…we wrote in the summer of 2010 that…

“Let’s make this very simple: Lane Kiffin is not remotely qualified to be the head football coach at USC.”

…and we repeat it again in September 2013 for the ones slow on the uptake OR for the Rhodes Scholars out there that have high IQs but don’t know their asses from the side of a barn:

“Let’s make this very simple: Lane Kiffin is not remotely qualified to be the head football coach at USC.”

lol!!

I hope he is paying his daddy at least half that 3 mill
 
Wonder if Jeff Monken's phone will start ringing too?

Already week two and we have Mack Brown and Lame Kiffin leading the pack. With the possible Okie St. mess that could involve others, any speculation?
I could see Florida losing 5+ games, will Muscamp's seat get warm? Which coach will USC/Texas throw money at? CMR?

The seats are hot only if they have a disasterous season - particular Mack Brown. Don't get me wrong - their seats are warm. I don't see Mack getting fired if he wins 8 games. Same for Kiffin.

The big difference is Mack Brown has a tremendous track record (151-44). After winning 9 games each of his first three seasons, he won 10+ nine years in a row. His problem is that they haven't been great recently (esp 2010 and 2011). Given his history, though, I find it hard to think of many situations where Mack gets fired short of a 4-8 season. Even then I think it would be a tough decision.

Kiffin, on the other hand, has no guarantee. If the wheels come off his season he is done. In fact, I think he would get fired with 7 or less wins. Fact remains he's had a single good coaching season. All time as a coach he is 38-35. Without the history to fall back on (that Mack Brown has), a second consecutive 7 win season would be the end. I think 8 gets him another season to put up 10 wins though.

On Sept. 26, 2010, Texas was 3-0, ranked No. 6 in the nation, and had won 34 of its last 37 games.
Since that day, Texas is 20-17.

20-17. Texas fans are almost regretting their national championship because it has allowed Mack Brown to stay there so long. Theyve wanted him gone for a really long time. He's gone if it isn't 9-10 wins this year. Mack Brown ööööing sucks.

I'm not disagreeing with you except for the 9-10 win thing. If he wins 8 games this year that will be 25-14 the last three years. I just don't think that's enough to fire the guy, even factoring in how bad 2010 was. Granted, 8 wins a season isn't near good enough to meet Texas's standards, but its not terrible.
 
Tennessee followed Kiffin with Dooley. Must have been some awful good shine up there in the Smokeys.

I get your point, but to be fair, Kiffin left UT in the lurch, with few choices and none of them good.

Kiffin is hurting USC's image. USC and Kiffin became the joke of college football. They might fire him even with 8 or 9 wins. (like Friedgen's 9 wins in his last season.)

If he loses to UCLA again, that's probably the final nail in the coffin.

But this is probably moot, Kiffin is going to crash and burn.
 
I am amazed that Kiffin has somehow lucked into such high paying jobs. He has been a bumbling idiot wherever he has been. I sure would like to bang his wife. I think he is gone short of winning the remainder of his games and playing for the national championship. What Pete Carroll made has been totally destroyed.
 
I'm a USC grad and I was in attendance at the debacle at the Coliseum Saturday night and am now officially on the Kiffin Has To Go Bandwagon.

I want Jeff Fisher at USC.

Think about it...
 
Seeing Terry Bowden on the list reminded me that there was a ST poster who completely non-ironically suggested Terry Bowden as coach after Gailey.

As far as Mack Brown goes, it could be pretty safe to say that he would be fired by now if not for Vince Young. Larry Coker also won a championship, with perhaps the most talented team in the history of college football, and he was also eventually fired.

The interesting thing about Kiffin is that, like Derek Dooley or Charlie Weis hires (at UF and KU), every outside observer could see the disaster coming but they were still hired to very nice contracts anyway. The only conclusion is that these AD's, as well as Presidents and top donors, live in very cloistered bubbles where these moves somehow make sense. There seems to be a wow factor for either NFL experience (Weis, Kiffin, uh, Gailey) or name recognition (Dooley, Shula, Bowden) which has no relationship with results.
 
The only reason they wouldn't fire Kiffin would be to have him ride out the sanctions. I think they have another year, or two even? I bet he stays for all of that and they begin the real coaching search now.
 
With the present state of affairs, I would be surprised if Brown, Kiffin, and Gundy made it to Thanksgiving. If Les Miles is somehow connected to the Okie St thing, then look out.

I think he enjoyed some cover with his father on the USC staff (Monte Kiffen). Monte quit to go back to the NFL so Lame is completely exposed. I traded texts with a big $$ USC booster over the weekend and can tell you the party is already over.
