[BB37]

Yep, just got the flash from ESPN. Everyone was predicting it, but I'm surprised they pulled the trigger in mid season.

Heh, LMFAO

[Flagstaffsooner]

He didnt cheat well enough.

[olevetonahill]

Heh, Some Talker on ESPN just called him the "Miley Cyrus" of College football :surprise:

[King Crimson]

hiring him was the mistake. just to state the obvious.

[Since71ASooner4Life]

This guy has never accomplished jack, yet falls into high profile positions every where he goes. The only other coach who is capable of doing as poorly with a group of 5-star recruits is you know who.

I agree but I think kiffin will have to take a big step backwards after this one.

there's always some kind of job in the NFL. the ultimate retread "League".

i don't know how you get in that club, but it's a good one.

[BoulderSooner79]

This guy has never accomplished jack...

Not completely true. Of course, she might dump him now.

Oh snap! That's about as uncool as it gets!

He shoulda stayed at UT.

Karma's a b*tch, Laney . . .

[Therealsouthsider]

...at least USC isn't in denial, Oklahoma hangs 60+ on Mack and he gets a contract extension

ss

[badger]

It is like everyone who ever had to endure lane kiffin is now airing dirt on him... Or at least talking crap.

I hope the dirt on USC and kiffin continues. 2005 is farther away every day

[CatfishSooner]

Every program falters... I remember around circa 2005 thinking they were going to win several NCs in a row or at least contend...now they suck BAWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!!!!!

[SoonerStormchaser]

If only Boise State would fall the way SUCC has!

[badger]

Aggie experts weigh in: Bob Stoops definitely should take the USC job and definitely will take the USC job. (http://texags.com/main/forum.reply.asp?topic_id=2379136&forum_id=5)

However, it is ridiculous to suggest that Kevin Sumlin would ever leave Texas A&M for any reason (http://texags.com/main/forum.reply.asp?topic_id=2379040&forum_id=5). Aggie is a destination job, not a job you use to get another job.

Only Aggie. :rcmad:

[salth2o]

I think USuC should hire Snoop Dogg as the next head corch.

[Scott D]

It took USC a little bit of time to realize something that Raiders fans knew for years, and Tennessee fans learned after one year. The guy can't coach :)

He gets too much credit for two things. Being Monty's son, and being the caretaker for the Sarkesian offense under ole Petey.

It's no coincidence that Washington is downright scary on offense and USC is more inept than Texas.

[prrriiide]

Haden: "Lane, the good news is that your luggage arrived with the flight. The bad news is, you're carrying it yourself."

And Too Short as it's OC.

When I heard this it made me laugh out loud with glee. But it was a dick move by USuC. More perfect. Think of the recruiting of their next coach. "Uhhh, thanks for the offer and all, but......."

[winout]

Can't believe they fired him at the airport... pretty low. Of course Hayden hired him so I guess decision-making isn't his thing.

Cowherd listed elite programs this morning: Ohio State, Texas, USC, Alabama and us. Said HC's don't leave these programs for another college gig.

Correction: The previous guy hired him, the same one that arrogantly told the NCAA to "prove it," which they still pay for today (Penn State gets mercy, USC gets a firm NO to reduced penalties)

Found this little gem here (http://sports.yahoo.com/news/ncaaf--forde-yard-dash--judging-lane-kiffin--paul-pasqualoni-and-other-awful-college-football-coaching-hires-053908094.html). Article on some of the worst coaching hires. Funny...


YOU HAVE A CALL ON LINE ONE, MR. HADEN

It's been roughly 48 hours since Pat Haden whacked Lane Kiffin. That's plenty of time for the most enthusiastic of job applicants, Arizona State coach Todd Graham (32), to get busy. After a deeply committed 17 games at ASU, The Dash can only imagine his eagerness to upgrade to USC …

Hey Pat,
Just wanted to say it was an honor to have a class program like USC and a class guy like yourself in our stadium – which is nowhere near as nice as your stadium, I must say. I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to catch up in person last night, but don't be a stranger, OK? Let's stay in touch. My cell number is below. Talk soon. I mean, real soon. Like, anytime. Call me, Pat.

Join the Todd Squad,
Todd Graham

Hey Pat,

Wow, I feel silly. I just read that you fired Lane Kiffin. Sorry to see it come to that – but hey, you did what you had to do, right? I just want to reiterate what a CLASS guy you are and what a CLASS institution USC is, and to let you in on a little secret – my REAL dream job is USC!

I know I said Arizona State was my dream job last year after I came over from Pittsburgh, which was after I left Tulsa, which was after I left Rice. But that was taken out of context and blown out of proportion and misquoted, among other things. Really, I grew up in Mesquite, Texas, dreaming of Student Body Right, Student Body Left and Pat Haden touchdown passes. I even nicknamed our family horse Traveler. Honest!

Again, my cell number is below. Don't let it go to waste, haha. Call me, Pat.

Hotty Toddy,
Todd Graham

"Hey Pat, it's Todd. Realize it's been a long, difficult day for you, pardner, so you might not have been checking your emails. Or text messages. But hopefully you get this voicemail before going to bed, because I just wanted to reiterate that USC is the dream job for me! I'll be up for a while watching a rerun of that 1974 comeback against Notre Dame, so give me a call. Fight on!"

Hey Pat,

I hope you got the fruit basket the Graham family sent to your office this morning. If you look between the pear and the grapefruit, you will find a small laminated card with my career win-loss record, which is not too shabby. Just think what I could do with USC talent! Call me!

Good to Great with Graham,
Todd Graham

Please look out ur office window. I am told there is a plane circling the McKay Center with a banner that expresses the true wishes of the Trojan Family. In case u can't see it, it says "Todd Graham: The Best Man for the Job." I had nothing to do with this, just heard about it through the grapevine. Call me!

"Hey Pat, just wanted to let you know that I think your pass to Shelton Diggs to win the 1975 Rose Bowl was great. I know he had to dive to catch it and all, but you put it where only he could get it. Let's talk ball sometime soon. Gimme a holler!"

Hey Pat,

You've been busy, I've been busy – I understand why I haven't heard from you. No big deal at all. When you're ready. Which is hopefully soon, haha.

But listen: I know you have Arizona on Oct. 10, and I beat those Wildcats last year. I can be in L.A. by dawn Oct. 6, after we play Notre Dame, to give you my gameplan. And heck, if you want to just hire me on the spot, well, let's make it happen! I can get to know the players that day, do the introductory press conference that night and be on the practice field with the team Monday afternoon.

I know changing teams in mid-season might ruffle a few feathers, but I can handle it if you can. This is my dream job, really. I know all the words to "Conquest." Hire me, Pat. Now.

In Todd We Trust,
Todd Graham

In a very real sense, Todd Graham would be the perfect fit for USC.

If Petrino's not available. Or maybe Rich Rod. Or Will Mudchump. Or maybe they get Chip Kelly to jump ship and c'mon over.

Day 1: USC hires Todd Graham

Day 2: Texas fires Mack Brown

Day 3: Texas hires Todd Graham

Day 4: Arizona State hires former KU tandem Turner Gill and Chuck Long

Day 5: USC hires Rich Rodriguez

Day 6: Arizona hires dynamic coaching sons trio Derek Dooley, Skip Holtz and Lane Kiffin

Day 7: God rests

[KantoSooner]

Well, maybe, but I"m thinking any place with as many tall bleach blonds as USC has GOT to be on Petrino's hit list.
