Re: Lane Kiffin New USC Head Coach
It really wasn't a bad move for either party.
He's a great recruiter in a talent rich area with a program that has mass appeal.
He orchestrated some impressive offenses while there, and his dad will have a field day with the kind of talent USC has at its disposal.
And you can't really fault Kiffin - it was his dream job. What if he passes it up for the sake of putting in 5 years at UT. Given the strength of USC, a young coach could easily come in and put in 20-30 years there and Kiffin would have missed the boat.
Plus, I think Kiffin learned the hard way that he's not cut out for SEC land.
I am sure USC would have preferred Sarkisian coming back with Nick Holt, and they may have even tried that, but they probably also had Kiffin as a very close option #2 and their most likely candidate.

Rumors fly that Cable could reunite with Kiffin

As Raiders coach Tom Cable continues to twist in the wind, we've caught wind of a rumor that former Raiders coach Lane Kiffin is prepared to add Cable to the USC coaching staff if/when Cable is fired in Oakland.
If it happens, it will mean that both Kiffin and Cable have resolved their differences from late 2008.
Cable wasn't happy that Kiffin was poaching members of the Raiders' staff for Kiffin's new gig in Knoxville. And Cable wasn't afraid to say so.
"I'm pissed. That's the best way to put it," Cable said at the time. "Quite frankly, that's the only way I can put it."
We didn't really understand Cable's consternation at the time. With every Raiders assistant on a year-to-year arrangement at best, an offer to leave will be regarded by some as a chance to escape.
But we can imagine both men letting bygones be bygones once they are members of the same club.
After all, once a fired Raiders coach, always a fired Raiders coach.
