🏈 Lane Kiffin fired...

[TerryP]

Lane Kiffin has been relieved of his duties as USC's head football coach, Trojan athletic director Pat Haden announced early today (Sept. 29).

Haden informed Kiffin of his termination upon the team charter's arrival back in Los Angeles early Sunday morning following USC's 62-41 loss at Arizona State.

Kiffin's Trojans have lost 7 of their past 11 games. USC is 3-2 this year and has lost both of its Pac-12 games. His overall record in 4 years at USC is 28-15.

Haden will hold a press conference at USC on Sunday afternoon at a time and place to be announced.

could not happen to a better person :a:

Could not have happened to a more deserving pric.....,um person. I'm sure Monte is in damage control mode on the home front because you know Lane isn't responsible for the problems at USC. Just ask Lane, he'll tell ya.

(Ha, you beat me to the comment Doe.)

Guess this came to fruition (from the Washington State loss)

They just put Texas on notice...

Butch Jones would be PERFECT for that job! :tongue-new:

Good for them. He is a real jerk.

Hook em horns, Lane?

Kinda surprised they fired him during the season, but knew this day was coming.

I'm not sure what's so appealing about him that keeps allowing him to land big time coaching positions.

 

[bama alum]

I'm sure there are a number of FCS programs who will be looking for that...home run hire in January.

@ramonashelburne
USC's press release announcing Kiffin had been fired was issued at 4:35 am. Haden informed Kiffin when the team's charter landed back in LA.

:rofl:

 

[Bamabww]

Nope, Coach Saban has been looking for a program to resurrect. He's west coast bound I'm afraid.:sarca:

 

[BAMA JAMMA]

After last night's loss it's no big surprise. I'm more surprised they didn't fire him in Arizona and let him figure his own way back home.

Looks like the Denver Broncos assistant coach Jack Del Rio is the front runner.

Looks like the Denver Broncos assistant coach Jack Del Rio is the front runner.

Smoke and mirrors, these suggestions are rarely accurate. Of course Del Rio played at USC, so ya never know, but everyone's name will get dropped for the big jobs.

Apparently he had to find a ride home from the airport. http://ftw.usatoday.com/2013/09/usc-didnt-give-lane-kiffin-a-ride-back-to-campus-after-firing-him/

Seems fitting for the way he left Tennessee.
