Oh the Irony…
Here on the Kickoff blog, we like to keep things as professional as possible. As the primary poster, I try my best to keep a somewhat unbiased viewpoint, and refrain from directly criticizing any of coaches, with whom the Kickoff has spent years culminating relationships.
Every once in a while though, my own East Tennessee blood runs over into my work here on this blog, and man… I am finding quite a bit of amusement in this report concerning the sanctions the NCAA has hit USC with, not because I have anything against the mighty Trojans (I personally don’t), but this little item in the report just makes me giggle quietly to myself…
A source close to the situation said USC coach Lane Kiffin was livid with the decision, which could cripple his program from a recruiting perspective. USC has received seven commitments from the Class of 2011 in football, but none are binding.
Maybe that dream job of Lane’s ain’t so dreamy anymore… Kiffin more than likely feels as though he was misled about the seriousness of the situation he was to inherit at USC when he took the job. I can understand that. It’s how the Big Orange faithful feel about the Lane Kiffin Era in Knoxville.

[...] It was a dick move on Kiffins part to skip town that late in the process after just 1 season,Lane Kiffin – With that out there, I've gotta say I felt for Tennessee fans when Lane Kiffin left for USC last [...]
Mike Garret should be fired now as he is the root of the problem and a sorry man in his own right. But you can bet Lame Kiffin had a part in the strong punishment that USC got. Lames wife knew they were in trouble shortly after the got in K’ ville as could not understand why when she went to the mall there were fire lane signs everywhere.
