USC's Drama Dept. Got a New Leading Man

Lane Kiffin is my favorite man that I love to hate! His press conferences should be aired live so we can all watch the train wreck of quotes that will soon fly over the Internet as they occur. There's nowhere better for him to be than Los Angeles, and even more appropriately--USC! The university with one of the best Drama programs in the country, has a new drama king. I honestly think his press conferences will make Southern California forget about watching high-speed chases because there will always be a wreck when Kiffin has a mike.

Kiffin just had a supporting role when he was there before. But he returns a leading man, although I'd say his box-office returns have been less than stellar! What exactly has Kiffin done that's so amazing to deserve this much attention? He went 5-15 before being fired from the Oakland Raiders and was only 7-6 at Tennessee--having lost in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl to my VA Tech Hokies. 

I'm saddened for the Volunteers and their fans because this program definitely didn't deserve to be treated like this. But if you ask me, Tennessee is coming out way ahead on this one. You lost the man who was gunning to be the next Steve Spurrier (ughh, just writing that makes me nauseous), either Kiffin or USC has to pay Tennessee $800,000, and you now have the opportunity to get a real coach who can make a difference. And if you steal Muschamp from Texas, I'm going to be very sad not to be covering him any longer (I'm dating myself now, but I used to cover Muschamp when he played for Georgia...and that team has put out some great coaches!). But you're going to be so much better off!

Not to mention Vol fans, Kiffin is always going to have Rocky Top on his mind...every time he says the name of his son--Knox!
