Why does Lane Kiffin keep getting primo jobs?
- Thread starter smurphy
- Start date
Lane has always been a "smooth operator", he knows tons of people and schmoozed with many at coaching conventions and when he was an intern and student assistant, he blew smoke up people's asses in power and wallah, he brown nosed his way up Nick Saban's ass!! Nick sounds very tired and doesn't have the energy he once did, he and Mack Brown are about the same age, but Nick dies his hair, Mack doesn't!!
Lane does have a hot wife, but so do a lot of millionaire coaches!! Even the coach for USC basketball has a hot wife, but he was rich before going into coaching, excellent financial planner.
Lane Kiffin did a lot of good things at USC. Team finished #19 in the country on the backs of his players and coaches and all of that is in the midst of devastating scholarship reductions.
The players never cared for him much and were always very tight. He wont have to deal with that HC aspect of the game at Bama and can learn from Saban in that regard. I predict he'll do pretty well.
Saban's no dummie..

Kiffin will not be getting any Tennessee recruits signed up anytime soon.
they really hate his ass

I'm not sure I would call 10 schollys a year devastating, when you're USC. Just because of the way the school/program sells itself. An average bcs conference school, yes. But getting 15 4/5star kids on scholly a year and then being able to invite the others to walk-on at USC
there have been a lot worse problems
10 scholarships a year for 3 years adds up.
the team played with 45-55 scholarship guys suited up and active for several games this year and played a total of 13-15 guys on defense in their final few. when their opponents have 75-85, that's 30-40% less scholarship guys than their opponents. especially painful with the up-tempo offensive teams that put an emphasis on running lots of plays..
Also, SC does not get very many high quality walk-ons. The cost of admission as a private school is not attainable for most recruits. State schools are almost free compared to 40-50k a year tuition at SC.
With the last year of scholarship restrictions approaching, and a few holdover spots for early enrollees, sark doesn't have that as an excuse..
