re: Why Kiffin over Napier??

Come on man. Lane would not be my first choice, but if we are going to be objective about this we have to recognize that at both of those schools you mention he was operating at a distinct disadvantage. USC was operating on a probation which loss them 30 scholarships, no bowl appearance for two years and players on the team had the right to transfer, which they did, without having to sit out for a year. Tennessee won five games the year before Lk took over and Fulmer was forced out.

raiders were a failure no matter what he took over

at usc we went over the sanctions, it was 10 schollies a year for 3 years plus no bowl ban. Doesnt matter, they were losing to teams with a losing record and outside of the 2nd season his conference record was pathetic. And if you go back and look his scholly numbers were not that down other than the 10 lost. Then the way he ended year 3 and started year 4 with 2 losses in conference....no brainer to get whacked and be gone.

if they were so far down, how did O go 6-2 to close out the season?

i like lane and Im fine with him getting the call before Billy but i will go on record in saying that is a mistake. So many LSU posters love the personal antic bullshite and are over the moon with his offense and QB development that they excuse the mediocrity that he continues to put up. 1 good season, followed by complete mediocrity is not going to work here. Also so many assume he is a great recruiter when history shows he really isnt.

my whole point was this though

outside of this year and one year at usc....his p5 expierence has shown nothing but mediocrity. So many want to hand their hat on FAU. well at FAU he did worse then Billy has at ULL by a long fricking shot.
