I always love it when a plan comes together.
Tech loses and the genius looks bad in the process, Georgia wins another thriller and Junior gets canned. Man, a weekend doesn’t get much better than that.

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.

“His arrival in Tennessee was not warmly received by all Vols fans, given the loyalties many had to the former coach there, Phillip Fulmer.”
Name one not named Fulmer. They warmly embraced the great recruiter and his assembled staff of experts. It was the future of college coaching as I heard it back then.

Yep, revisionist history at it’s worst. UT was convinced they had the next genius. Of course, he never did lose to Georgia, so I guess that was the only promise he kept.

I think we can all see what happened here. USC got cheap. What they needed to do was come off the hip with some green and hire a quality coach. Look at Texas. Those Longhorns aren’t afraid to compete salary wise! uT went to the bank and pulled out the check book when they hired their young and up coming coach! Oh…Kiffy has 4.8 large left on his contract. That one is gonna leave a mark.

I know, but the way this world is he’ll probably be elected President, he just needs to run as a Democrat and memorize some catch phrases like “let’s get the Wall Street fat cats” and “keep your hands off my womb”, together with absolute media protection and we’ll be sayin’ hail to the chief.

It’s got to be pretty bad behind the scenes to get fired during the season.
I bet Kiffin is wishing he had stayed at Tennessee.

With Tennessee Kiffin was really in his element, I’ll never forget how proud of Kiffin they were at Losers with Socks, they had “Vols b***h, welcome to reign!” as their masthead for months. I hate Tennessee. They deserve everything we get, we need to try to break the scoreboard in Neyland next weekend.

While Kifffin deserves little love, I have to say I am thoroughly impressed with the way Pat Hayden and USC managed to make Kiffin look like the classy one in this mess. The guy inherited a program that is decimated by the cheating scandals of Carroll. USC seems to have unrealistic expectations in what any coach, Kiffin, included can accomplish there. Who in their right mind is going to want to take that job now knowing that and seeing how classless its AD is. Its quite funny to me.

Loved Finebaum calling Kiffin “The MIley Cyrus of College Football” on Gameday. He called him out and Kiffy was unemployed by the end of the day. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! And Corso picked LSU. Thanks Coach! We3 owe ya one. Only two things would have made yesterday sweeter: Corch and Boom losing. But, hey, one can’t have everything. It’s GREAT to be a Georgia Bulldog!
