    I concur. I'm not that big of a fan of Kiffin, but he has done a good job. Even if you don't believe he can coach, he's smart enough to surroudn himself with a good staff.

    Kiffin actually did a pretty good job in Oakland turning them around. The Raiders dysfunction has been well documented. He was fired for not caving to crazy Al, not for his coaching ability. Towards the end of Phil's tenure, Tennessee was (and continues to be in shambles). During Kiffin's brief stay in Knoxville, the team was beginning to turn around and actually be competitive again.

    I don't see how either of his HC stints are seen as negatives. Inheriting a bad situation (remember USC was not penalized till after Kiffin arrived), he has USC back in the national conversation. We can talk about about the advantages that schools like USC and TOSU have, but it doesn't take away from the degree of dificulty Kiffin and Meyer have faced since taking over two programs that were in disarray.

    Or the fact that he's been busted for recruiting violations MULTIPLE times and left in the dead of night at Tennessee leaving his "team" completely in the dark all the while trying to steer some current Vols to transfer to U$C. Guys is a scumbag and a B+ coach at best until proven otherwise. And the very second a former trOJan like Jack De Rio is interested in coming there Lane will be a goner immediately. A short term fix was all the condom higher ups had in mind when hiring him. Nothing more, nothing less.

    That recruiting pitch doesn't work for UCLA who has a nicer campus in the same city. It also didn't work for USC in the late 90's.

    Kiffin has done a great job surrounding himself with cut throat recruiters.

    This is true. For years USC and UCLA (who still continues to be) was mired in mediocrity. It wasn't until Carroll took over that USC started winning. Coaching matters. Alabama before Saban was down for a number of years. It's undeniable the difference sleezy Petrino had at Arkansas.

    I'm not saying Kiffin is clean by any means, but a lot of his violations were stupid secondary violations. Where there underhanded things going on? Absolutely, however, none of us should be naive enough to believe it does not happen everywhere. Where there is big money, high stakes, and big egos, expect a shadowy element.

    Who has won in Oakland and Tennessee? Maybe 2 or 3 coaches total in the last 20 years... He has put together some awesome classes. Last year he smashed Oregon in Eugene and lost a good one to Stanford that they definitely had in the bag, just couldn't close the deal. They have a 1 game schedule this year, Oregon... the rest are cakes, including ND at home.

    He beat Oregon when Oregon for some strange reason decided to play for a field goal and the tie instead of keeping their uptempo and going for the TD.. Oregon missed the FG that defense is not that good and they do have a 10 scholly shortage meaning they will not be able to survive the busts on the O and D lines the next 3 years and their scholly reduction just started so its going to really show over the next few years.

    You have a pretty bad memory.
    USC fumbled with a first and goal inside the Oregon 5 up by 3 that led to that. It was a pure RB drop on the hand off. Oregon could not stop them all night, USC holds onto that and scores, that is a 10 point lead with under two minutes to go and that game is over.
    Also, in the 3rd quarter up by double digits, Oregon got away with a blatant pass interference that led to an interception with USC marching to score again. All the replays showed an easy interference, which should have been USC first down and ready to score again. Oregon scored later off that horrendous botched call.
    USC was up double digits most of that game and on cruise control, the ref's make the right call on the pass interference, and USC does not fumble with first and goal inside the five, they beat Oregon by 14 to 17 easily.
    USC dominated them most of that game.
    Nice try, you left out a lot of other facts, do not let that distort your story though.

  • Az are you saying you believe Dunn to have a gear that Isaac doesn't have? I'd have to disagree with you there brother. I think Isaac gets up to top speed faster and also has a better top end speed than Dunn. The runs on his tape show explosion through the hole and him pulling away from the secondary once he gets in the open field.

    I think Isaac is a monster who's only knock is maybe that he runs a little upright.
