Did you see his face when the camera panned to him immediately after Stanford won the game in OT. I just paused it and laughed and laughed like a god dam devil.

Can someone find a clip of Kiffin's face shot right after Stanford won the game and post it? It was so satisfying.

He looks like a Yakuza boss.

It's not like what he's saying isn't true. Since he had requested a timeout, shouldn't he have gotten one when they realized the runner went down with time on the clock? I don't agree with antagonizing Lane for this. I don't like him but if this had happened to ND, I would have been heartbroken and would not blame Kelly for putting himself out there like this.

USC didn't get screwed. Woods was tackled in bounds with one second left. Watch every first down of every game in the country. Human reaction time of when to stop the clock and when to start the clock takes seconds off of every game (see ND/UNC a few years ago). What should be pointed out is that he called a damn bubble screen leading his reciever to the middle of the field with a few seconds left. Stupid *** play call on his part. He is a whiny bitch that has nobody to blame but himself.

The thing is that like is said in the ESPN article, "Any coach can ask for a timeout, but he doesn't get one until an official grants or signifies it."

If the referee wasn't able to signal the timeout before the time expired then there's no arguing it.

Now there was a replay that showed what looked to be a referee signaling timeout, but the question is whether he signaled it before that 1 second ticked off.

None of this changes that it was a bad play call by Kiffin and that Kiffin is setting a bad example as a coach to his players by bitching about the officiating.

I feel ya still believe he had the timeout.... I agree totally with the terrible play call, woods should have know they needed to get down or out of bounds ... So funny to me....

It's not like that play decided the game either. USC still had all of OT to try and win.

Most coaches would say they disagreed with the call, but their team still had a chance to win in OT and just didn't get it done.

Maybe he should of called his first timeout sooner leaving more time on the clock for that last play. I mean he is the authority on when to use timeouts properly is he not?
