The thing about Kiffin is that everywhere he has gone outside of Oakland, the offense's have been pretty legit.

His overall teams may have been mediocre, but they all were good offensively until this past year. The question will be how he handles his ego while there and how much he'll push the envelope in recruiting where Bama already pushes it as far as it can go and then some.

I mean we recruit against Ole Miss, UT, Auburn, LSU. What's another shady recruiter?

I'm a little hesitant because our fan base isn't going to give him any rope, if he doesn't perform well he'll be crucified, but if he puts up an offense he's capable of he'll have resurrected his career.

Lots of risk/reward on this one

Legit? Here are USC's rankings in total offense for every year Kiffin was there, including this year:

2013: 42nd
2012: 38th
2011: 33rd
2010: 28th

They got worse every year.
