"Here Comes the Circus"

Dear USC and Lane Kiffin,

I heard the circus is in town, is that true? Oh wait you just hired Lane Kiffin as your head football coach. I don’t understand your thought process on this one USC. Your program is facing potential sanctions for NCAA violations and you go out and hire the head coach who lead the nation in violations last year, even if they were secondary violations. I have lost a lot of respect for USC in recent weeks and as of yesterday I hope this program just goes to shambles, and it will just give that idiot of a coach you just hired time. He will make you regret your decision, just like the Raiders and The University of Tennessee have. The guy makes promises to fans, players, and recruits that he will not uphold. For once Raiders owner Al Davis does not seem so senile to me, as he said this about Kiffin. "Lane Kiffin is a flat-out liar. He lied to the team, he lied to the fans, and he lied to the media. He will try to destroy that university like he tried to destroy the Raiders." - Al Davis, June 8, 2009
Naturally, Kiffin’s Tuesday night Tennessee “farewell” press conference started thirty minutes late and produced little more than a 60-second sound byte. He didn’t thank a school administrator, acknowledge any of his players and/or coaching staff by name, and stood nervously — like a weasel — with crossed arms, an all too casual short-sleeved polo shirt for the given circumstances, and a nervous sway. He alluded to his 14 months in Knoxville as if he’d been serving time in some far off distant land. This was not the same Lane Kiffin who boldly took swipes at Urban Meyer and exhibited great arrogance and bravado in media interviews throughout the season. This was a 34-year-old man (err, boy) who hasn’t won a thing as a head coach sneaking out the back door and creeping up the football coaching ladder, yet again. Below are some photos and youtube videos. They aren't exactly G-rated. If you scroll down you can even see Urban Meyer smiling when he receives the news. http://deadspin.com/5446833/ut-fans-now-attacking-defenseless-rock-burning-mattress-update

Lane Kiffin quit on his team at Tennessee. He treated them like a one night stand whore. He finished the season at 7-6 and found out how hard it is to compete in the SEC. I got news for you Lane; the Pac-10 is getting better. USC is in a decline, facing sanctions and if the NCAA comes down hard on you, well good luck bud because Oregon and Oregon State are two good programs along with Stanford who has beaten up on USC in recent years. You guys use to do the same thing to Stanford and this year when Harbaugh paid it back to your boy Pete Carroll, he got a little upset. What goes around comes around Lane. You will get what you deserve. I am sure you will bail ship before it gets too bad there in So. Cal. That’s been your legacy thus far. I wish you nothing but the worst, and I can’t believe I am saying this right now but Go Irish!

Sincerely,

Kiffin Hater, Jeff McGuinness
