Lane Kiffin: 8 Reasons the USC Trojans Coach Is in College Football's Top 10 | Bleacher Report

Wow, I honestly don't know why USC fans have so much faith in him.

Lane Kiffin: 8 Reasons the USC Trojans Coach Is in College Football's Top 10 | Bleacher Report

...

And the #1 Reason Trojan fans believe Lane Kiffin is in College's Top 10 Coach's is ...



They're delusional.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

This is a joke, right?

This is a joke, right?

You must have missed TrojanPrincess extolling on Kiffin here on IE a few weeks ago. "She" apparently was "leaking" her espyesque piece for feedback (or trying out for the comedy channel).

Can we get Kiffin as our coach, he seems like a much more suitable fit?

Sounds like a great idea. They should also hire Tenuta away from NC State to be the defensive coordinator. It'd be game over for the rest of the country

With Tenuta's blitzing defense and our talent, the other offense would be lucky to get 400 yards.

rofl....I got all the way to slide 6 before it just felt like an article wrote by "a 16-year-old writing about his favorite college team"

Kiffin has also instilled a team-oriented philosophy with discipline for even the best athletes. There are many examples of this, but Dillon Baxter in 2010 and Marc Tyler in 2011 stand out.

I had to stop at the above quote on slide6. I find that to be insulting. Kiffin has never had a reputation of disciplining players when he was previously at USC, Raiders, or TEnn. I'm with BGIF, anyone who believes that is delusional....

anyone believes that article should have their oil checked: Celebrity Video | TMZ.com

 

[Riddickulous]

Reason #1: Because his daddy says so.

 

[mgriff]

Objectivity; this article has none.

**** kitten ... no italics ... sorry

 

[dshans]

Maybe Kiffin's secret weapon is that he has mbeckha as his "shadow" S&C right hand man. Left hand man if it's Monday, Wednesday or Friday ... and twice on Sunday.

 

[BeauBenken]

One of the reasons he is a top ten coach...the coaching staff around him. What? What does that have to do with his abilities? lol

He has experience. Yea, at not winning.

It's his dream job. Your point? Are you saying he just didn't try at the other places he coached, but now he will really work for it?

I couldn't put myself through actually reading this thing. I feel I was just trolled.

 

[NDOM]

This!!!!!

This is just as funny as me saying I'm gonna stop smoking weed and me saying that Notre Dame is going to win every game this year. lol

Kiffycakes as a top 10 coach is way more absurd than that.

 

[phork]

Ahhhhh... Bleacher Report. As refreshing as opening the door to the bathroom after your old man just defiled the toilet.

Young Head Coach Will Only Get Better

How do you know?

Respected by Those Who Matter

False. No one respects him, and if he has another mediocre season Haden will be very impatient with him.

Handling Sanctions Well

This made me laugh so hard

Previous Experience

What previous experience? Do you mean winning 2 games with the Raiders or going 7-6 with Tennessee?

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

Why even waste time reading this crappy website? (BR, not IE)

I just wrote this on ISD:

Since you brought up USC, as I've said since their first practice, I think Kiffy-boy is nuts. Making up for last year's lack of hitting, he is holding 3 hour marathon practices every day (plus a few 2-a-days), including a 3 hour long scrimmage at the Coliseum the first day they could don full pads. First of all, as a player I'd HATE that. I'd much rather go really strong for 2 hours than pretend to be able to go strong (both physically and mentally) for 3 hours. And 2nd of all, injuries will mount up. And of course, the injuries are mounting up:

Galippo (shoulder, still a few days away)
Scroggins (wrist, out indefinitely)
Farmer (back)
Townsend (ribs)
Walker (just returned)
Woods (ankle - returned to practice)
Carlisle (quad)
DiPaola (surgery - out for the year)
Christian Thomas
Topou (sp?) - knee
Dion Bailey
McAllister - hamstring
Tyler O'Grady (sp - never heard of him)
Christian Heyward
Brian Bauchman
Tony Burnett
TJ MacDonald (day to day)
Demetrius Wright
Cody Temple
Zack Kuschner (never heard of him, sp)

18 of those guys either missed yesterday's practice or got banged up yesterday and had to leave the practice (Carlisle, McAllister, Townsend, and Farmer). Today he's finally going to take it easy at practice, and then tomorrow a full-out scrimmage again. He says they are getting thin but that's the decision they went with and they're going to live with it.

Kiffy-boy as a top 10 coach? Child please. He wouldn't even be a top 10 coach in the Pac 12...

 

[Old Man Mike]

ummmm....who's a worse coach?

 

[Bubba]

I believe that all of Tennessee's viloations were Kiffin's responsibility and that speaks volumes. This guy will not succeed and if he does it will always be tainted with the possiblity that he committed violations of some sort in the public's eyes.

 

[HereComeTheIrish]

ummmm....who's a worse coach?

Ty Willingham and Bob Davie... Other than that...? No one.

LOL. Made my day. Whole post was great. Lane is a KID who is over his head. People thought his father could bail him out. People also figure Ed O's recruiting is so good they don't need a coach. But no matter how fast and expensive the car is, you still need someone to drive it. And Lane cannot handle the Ferrari. I hope he stays at USC for a very long time.
