this guy just absolutely has the life doesn't he?

-Successful college OC (with bush, white, leinart, those big tall WRs, etc)...gets NFL job
-miserable failure as NFL coach
-parlays "nfl experience" into college HC job. Barely goes .500, leaves after 1 season
-now still a college HC. Goes 28-15 before being fired
-back to college OC job. Does very well with nationally elite defenses at his back (not to mention a heisman winner, belietnicoff finalist, some of the best OLs in football, etc)
-now parlays that into potentially another NFL job


When will America learn? If you want lane kiffin on your staff, it better be in college and it better be as a coordinator. Anything above that and you're fricked.

lol Not Kiffin's fault.

He had Tennessee moving in the right direction and went 4-4 in the SEC that year. Not what you make it sound like.

Fired too soon. USC would be in a lot better place right now if they would have waited out the sanctions, IMO.

Or carries that "nationally elite" defense in the NCG when they give up 40 points.

WG Dawg, you forgot to add that as a college coach, he's had the pickings of prime college coeds at every stop he's made. At S.F. he'd be limited, based on a day to day contact opportunity, to the 49'ers dance squad ladies. Guess it boils down to you preferring college coeds or "older" women.
