re: So Glad We Didn't Get Kiffin

From a good ESPN article:
ESPN Article:

When late Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis fired Lane Kiffin four games into his second season as coach in 2008, Davis said Kiffin had "conned me and conned all of you people."

When former USC athletic director Pat Haden fired Kiffin five games into his fourth season as the Trojans' coach in 2013, Kiffin was famously left behind on a tarmac at a private airport near LAX.

And let's face it: Kiffin is about the only coach who could be fired from a job that he'd already quit.

Even more than that, Kiffin's undoing was caused by what had often doomed him in the past: his immaturity and mouth.

Kiffin told SI reporter Pete Thamel even though he was one of the sport's highest-paid assistants with an annual salary of $1.4 million, he really didn't make that much after paying taxes and alimony to his ex-wife.

"I make [about] 9 percent and I'm living in Tuscaloosa," Kiffin told SI.

Later in the SI article, Kiffin complained about Saban's 7:30 a.m. staff meetings and having to live in Tuscaloosa away from his three children.

"This will come across wrong," Kiffin told SI. "But it's like dog years. Three years is like 21."
