Kiffen WILL blow up and take the program with him down a notch. It will happen. It has never NOT happened. His good offenses at USC were full of players getting paid and now USC has suffered terribly from sanctions. He was a part of that mess, too.
This is pure unadulterated bullshite. Players at SC weren't choirboys any more than the ones at any other big time CF program, but Bush's family and later Bush himself were too overt in their acceptance of free stuff to have the NCAA let it slide.
Kiffin had NOTHING to do with any of that. His shortcomings have largely been during his time as a head coach (Raiders sucking, UT verbal diaharrea, USC HC/OC faux pas). As a coordinator he is capable of brilliance, and also sucking complete arse.
I get that it's funny that some Bama people who've been on record making fun of the guy are now in the uncomfortable position of defending him, but you've gone beyond the vale of hyperbole in your criticism of his body of work as a COACH. Not just a HEAD COACH, but a COACH.

I had this question, as an OP a bit ago.
Any ideas?

A question regarding Kiffin developing a QB. (Posted on 1/11/14 at 12:04 am)30
Especially for those who took the time to look over his whole career.
I don't think developing a scheme, gameday calls are going to be a problem. He worked under Petey and Chow, has NFL and CFB HC experience. My question is has he actually developed a QB, worked on technique, given him the tools to make 2 or 3 reads, know when to dump it off, run, or take the sack....and the myriad lessons a QB has to learn. With AJ gone I think we will all know late into next season if he can do this or not. But does anyone know if he can do this now, or is it a big unknown?
Any ideas?

the fact that he has to come out and defend his hiring of Kiffin is pretty telling in itself

I agree with this ... the Kiffin experiment will either be a monumental success or a monumental failure ... I don't think there will be any grey area here.
