Can Kiffin Close the Deal at USC?

Even Carroll himself could'nt live up to expectations after his departure.

Kiffin will be rich, and he will be an OC coordinator for the rest of his carreer come 2014..

Nice Post AlltheWayTigers! Spot on!

Miles won't get the benefit of doubt. The LSU program is pretty much at the top, with little room to go further. Any misstep - recruiting, field performance, etc - will be magnified, especially with his lack of personality and baggage. Unless Miles can win the BCS in two years AND win the SEC in years 1 and 2, then he will be considered a bust. The fanbase's expectations are at level 10 (sounds similar to LSU's?) and anything less than level 11 performance is unacceptable.



This I absolutely agree with.
Nice post.

Wish nothing but failure to Kiffin.

I hope you're right and I'm wrong.

I completely agree!

I mean how many more times does Mark Richt (since UGA had the most secondary violations last year in the SEC) cheat the system before he gets slapped as the dishonest cheater he is???

And also, what's the big deal with Auburn's Big Cat weekend? That was just a perfectly honest mistake. Auburn unwittingly took six recruits out to Toomer's Corner where coincidentally hundreds of people just happened to be rolling the trees (apparently after a big victory in the intramural ultimate frisbee league). And it's not like anyone except recruting websites, media outlets and businesss were publicizing a recruiting event (which is a violation within itself) at that exact same time and at the exact same place. That's faaaaaar more innocent than using a fog machine or mentioning a recruit's name and saying he's a good player on the radio.

And you're right about Kiffin's coaching credentials. He doesn't have the amazing 5-19 record Chizik had before he was hired at Auburn.

Really compelling points there Aubie83. Thanks for demonstrating your ignorance on the overall picture.

Bottomline-- if Kiffin's a douche then Chizik is a turd sandwich.

I agree at least on the PC era. With Kiffin and his baggage/reputation, a couple of new minor infractions will be blown out of proportions as a lack of institutional control.

Seriously, Kiffin is walking on eggs yet the position nearly demands him to control the spotlight. That is a tight line to walk.

Gene Chizik is not the one going out running his mouth as if he is some top tier coach. He came to Auburn and has turned the program around the right way. Sure there were a couple secondary violations, but if you look at the big picture which team will be on probation first, Auburn or UT or USC? Lame had UT already heading in that direction and USC will probably be put under a microscope now that he is there...Say what you want about Chizik, but our coach will still be our coach in 4 yrs...yours will fail and be looking for a new job hopefully as an OC...Lane Kiffen is the turd and you know what they say...you can't polish a turd...

Wow! Amazing how you can predict the future!

Especially when it is just your opinion.

Here's reality:

*Do a little research on why Kiffin ran his mouth. There was a reason and it worked. And recruits listened.

*Nothing is going to happen to USC. There is a possibility of probation, but that is even remote.

*Turning things around the "right way" does not include recruting violations, especially ones that are blatant and premeditated as in Auburn's case. But it's easier to follow the herd and say Kiffin was the bad guy, when he did what every other coaching staff in the SEC did the same types of things. The only SEC school that had no recruiting violations last year was Kentucky. They are the only ones doing things the "right way".

*How do you know Chizik will be your HC in four years? How do you know Lane Kiffin won't be ours? Ohhh your opinion again.

*You can Kiffin whatever you want. Chizik is a giant douche in my opinion.

Actually I have nothing against Chizik. Auburn is a non-factor in CFB so I care as much about them as I do Baylor, SMU, Wyoming, Ball State and many other similar programs.
