[calumnus]

Is it not possible that Kiffin was hired because he would be easy to dismiss after the days in the wilderness for USC are over?  The program then would be cleaner and ready for a fresh start under a more proven coach who will reconstruct the program.

Seems a brobdingnagian stretch. Why pay such big money to hire him away from Tennessee? Expendable coaches come cheap. Don\'t assume some grand scheme hatched by the genius dark lords of Troy, instead use Occam\'s Razor: Mike Garrett is an idiot and overpaid to hire an idiot. Should be fun to watch them implode over the next few years (one reason we must make sure Cal and Stanford get to play them every year--we don\'t want to miss out on all the fun).
