Hmmm, they left out the top three techniques:

1. Lie
2. Bend the rules until they look like used playdough.
3. Hire pretty girls to ... ummm.. visit recruits.

As much as I dislike him, it's almost comical to see him in action. The guy is like the Barney Fyfe of college football.

"Southern California head coach Lane Kiffin has built a national reputation on his ability to be dominant in recruiting."

I think this article's first line set the tone for the whole on-line piece not being worth the paper its written on. Who that matters considers him dominant? Seriously, assessing the body of his work and where that breaks out relative to the competition (which is what one has to do to use the word "dominant") where does he compare?

We know he proved to not be the king of the SEC in his one year stint at Tennessee, with nothing to cite as reason to expect him to surpass the rest. USC's success in recruiting while he was at Oakland and in Knoxville point to any success the Trojans had while Kiffin was there as being due to other factors. And when did USC have a empty shelve this bad with which to use in recruiting. No kidding, USC draws on it own to some degree and a Now Hiring-Start Today sing being flashed was going to get them 90 % there anyway.

I tend to wonder what it means that two years in a row he has had kids who he can't get to ink the deal on signing day. "Let me think about it" does not sound like a commitment.

So where did he earn this fantastic reputation as a recruiter? Sure wasn't at UT; he wasn't there long enough. At first I thought it was a satirical piece and then I saw it was ESPN.:lol:

I believe they based hid recruiting prowess on his tenure as Pete Carroll's "go fer". Kiffin's an idiot and will always be the idiot of college football or professional football, or for that matter, any pee wee league team he coaches.
