I'll repond for everone since only one person gave a response.:

There's no real evidence he is doomed as a CF head coah failure. He seems shady, ran his mouth, can be douchy, adn left UT. SO we don't like him. That tranlates into being a bad CF coach, albeit there is no tangible evidence.

He thinks he is UNTOUCHABLE!! He gets a PASS at USC for the 1st three years. Not sure how good of coach he is. His ARROGANCE will be his downfall however.

And there is no tangible evidence of him even being a remotely good college football head coach.
He took a team that was 1 season removed from a SEC Championship game appearance that the following season went 5-7 and he improved them to 7-6. Not exactly miracle worker status.

I could see him doing well, but let's be honest...


as an outsider looking in, I think anyone's first judgement based on the situation would be Kiffin 1 - USC 0.
He's got a losing career record as a coach while just being picked up by one of the highest profile colleges in the nation.

tOSU took a chance on Tress though.
Like I said, he could end up being a great coach, but you can't question people for doubting him.

apples and oranges, Tress was a proven winner at Youngstown State and had a winning resume as a college head coach - he was a good hire at that time

What did Saban do to scream "great coach" prior to his tenure at LSU?

This is true, but it was AA football. I mostly agree on your point though.

Many people in Ohio would have disagreed with you.

Nobody knows for sure if he's a bad coach or a good coach--THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

He's unproven. He's done nothing to this point to prove he deserves a third premier head coaching job and one of the best jobs in all of football. THAT MAKES HIM A BAD HIRE. You asked in your OP "Why is Kiffin considered a bad HIRE," but then when you got answers, you started asking "why does that make him a bad coach." USC can and should do better. Kiffin had a poor record at Oakland and didn't improve UT. He is a ticking time-bomb w/ his shady behavior and tendency to get sanctioned.

I could ask you what makes me a bad coach, and you'd have no way of answering it. I'd make a bad hire because I've done nothing to prove I'm a good coach. That's why Kiffin is a bad hire--he's done nothing to prove he's any good. In fact, he's actually looked pretty inept as a head coach.

question was further clarified in the post.

Kiffin had a poor record at Oakland


so NFL records makes college coaches poor, e/g/ Saban. Carrol?
