Kiffin is definitely unproven as a head coach. That does not mean the potential for big things is not there.


And Tennessee is reduced to hiring potential.

No...his offensive track record speaks for itself at USC. Monte's defensive track record in the NFL is unmatched in NFL history.

Stop reaching for straws. I was talking about his potential as a college head coach was huge.

You see, when someone has not been a college head coach before, like say, Pete Carroll or Bob Stoops, all you can truthfully speak is their head coaching potential.

I'll take Matt Leinart & Reggie Bush's OC & Monte Kiffins defense all day long.

When USC hired Pete Carroll, he was writing for Sports Illustrated. Alot of USC supporters didn't like the hire.

An interesting bit, Nick Saban turned down the USC job not long before Pete Carroll landed at USC. His agent (Sexton) told him 'Man, you don't want to go to Southern Cal. Nobody wants to send their kids to school in south central LA anymore'.

USC had to 'reduce' itself, and hire a coach that took over a team that was in the Superbowl the year prior, to out of the playoffs by year three. USC hired a failed NFL coach, who was spending his time as a part time sports columnist.

2 National Championships, & 7 Conference Championships later, I'm sure they're happy they found him.

Hiring potential isn't a bad thing, especially with the staff around him.
