You better be nervous.

This article says it all. He caught the NCAA'a eye at USC and UT.

Need I say more?

USC's hiring of Lane Kiffin in 2010 drew ire from the NCAA infractions committee. It may have played a role in the Trojans receiving sanctions relating to improper benefits received by running back Reggie Bush about half a decade prior.

Multiple members of the committee mentioned the Kiffin hire as they attempted to settle on a penalty, according to a report from the Los Angeles Times on previously sealed documents released by the NCAA. The NCAA had tried to keep these documents sealed, to no avail.

Committee member Rodney Uphoff criticized the hire and said the Trojans "need a wake-up call that doing things the wrong way will have serious consequences," according to the Los Angeles Times. Committee member Roscoe Howard also mentioned the hire in an email, saying the lack of institutional control penalty was "a very easy call for me."

A previous NCAA investigation into Tennessee found that Kiffin and his staff made improper phone calls to recruits during his one-year stint with the Vols, even after he was warned. Kiffin, now the offensive coordinator at Alabama, also picked up a failure to monitor charge because of improper visits to recruits made by his staff.
