    Kiffin gets USC job
    Tennessee's Lane Kiffin has agreed in principle to become the next head coach at Southern California, sources close to the situation told ESPN.com's Chris Low on Tuesday.

    Kiffin would replace Pete Carroll, who jumped to the NFL as coach of the Seattle Seahawks.

    Kiffin, the former Oakland Raiders coach, led the Volunteers for only one season.

    Wow. That was quick. I can't believe SC pulled the trigger so quick and that Tennessee let Kiffin out of the deal.

            @ Tennessee administrators. All of Kiffin's bravado about becoming the class of the SEC and this is what he does. Ridiculous. Makes Petrino look like a Saint

              With a lot of the stuff that Kiffin was doing, it may be somewhat of a relief to Tennessee.

              Who will they go after? The carousel continues.

                            Monte is going with him. Rick Neuheisel has gotta be dancing in the streets of LA tonight.

                              I believe they said Monte is going also.
                              I wasnt paying attention but listening in the background.
                              didnt catch my attention until they said lane was leaving

                                    Hatred of Lane Kiffin was the only thing the other 11 SEC schools could agree on. . .look at us in this thread. Several of us have been killing each other in other threads about the Texas-Bama game. . .but we all agree that Kiffin is a douche!

                                      You SEC guys can fight among yourselves. Kiffin is a good hire for USC. And regarding UCLA, Neihusel won't win squat. I could coach USC and UCLA still wouldn't win.

                                            USC is gonna pay his buyout.

                                            Monte and Orgeron are gone too. This fukks timing is unbelievable. A couple of weeks until signing day.

                                                Well, I can't comment on Neuheisel because I'm biased. Many years ago, I was working night desk at a dorm at a high school football camp. He came in about 11 one night to see a coach at the camp. While he was waiting for the coach to come down, he talked football with me for a good 15 mins. Great guy, and I can understand why kids want to play for him. Plus, he's like us and enjoys a good NCAA bracket pool!

                                                    I didn't expect him to only stay 1 year at Tenn. I thought Steve Sarkisian was higher on the list for USC but he didn't want to leave UW after only a short stint.

                                                        Fuk, I wanted Kiffin to stay in Tennessee for life. Now they might get better...

                                                          Kippy coached under Majors and with Fulmer. He coached Carl Pickens and some of the best WRs TN ever had. He's been in the NFL for several years. He just came back.

                                                                Hard to say snce he's never been one. I will say he definitely knows the game. He came back to KNoxville basically though to be an assistant and retire there so I figure he's gonna be a fill in until they get someone. The whole athletic dept. and players are confused as fukk right now. there's gonna be a press conference at UT in about 45 min.

                                                                  The crowd then moved to an office area where an impromptu press conference was being held for Kiffin.
                                                                  Police were called to quell the crowd, which calmed down once officers arrived.
                                                                  The crowd eventually became rowdy and were asked to disperse without incident.

                                                                    Bringing Chow and Orgeron along is huge. This is basically the same staff they had during the glory years (01-04) minus Carroll.

                                                                    Really sucks to be Tennessee with NSD a few weeks away. No clue who they will target this time around (David Cutcliffe?).

This is worst case senario for Neuheisel and UCLA. He now has to recruit against people who have been there, done that, and have the national championship rings to prove it. I believe it was Tennessee who was a blocked field goal away from defeating 'Bama in Bama.
