The Sports Curmudgeon weighs in on Kiffen


 

When Lane Kiffen was 31 years old, he had never been a head coach at any level of football. Al Davis hired him to be the head coach of the Oakland Raiders at that point only to fire him abruptly in the midst of Kiffen's second season in Oakland. Adding that firing and a 5-15 record with the Raiders to his CV, Kiffen managed to become the head coach at Tennessee. There he lasted one year, had a 7-6 record and chalked up 4 NCAA "secondary violations". One of his violations involved the recruitment of a player who would have to be dismissed from the team during the season following a police arrest. Now, Lane Kiffen is the head football coach at USC. I think I know what comes next:

But don't get him wrong, he loves sports!
