Lane Kiffin FINALLY Asked Why Players Have Fun Now

FIRE.KIFFINLane Kiffin just appeared on 710-AM with Mark Willard and Mychal Thompson. Amazingly, it wasn’t Chris Fowler or Colin Cowherd who asked the obvious question but a former basketball player, Thompson, who finally challenged Kiffin by asking why players are having fun now compared to when he coached.

“You gotta do things your way,” Kiffin said. “This is not who Ed is naturally. When you replace someone, it’s natural to do something different. Ed has done the Pete Carroll thing to the fullest.”

  1. “This is not who Ed is naturally…” So, Coach O is faking? He’s a great Hollywood actor? He’s not genuine?

    • i dont think he’s saying that – i think he’s saying the same thing coach o said said about himself….that he WASN’T that person and he needed to adjust to NOT be the guy he was at Ole Miss – which was a screaming intense control freak – controlling his coaches and team. from that perspecitve, Kiffin is right. The challenge for Ed will be to maintain this new attitude and way of doing things and not revert to what he was.

  2. Who cares Scottie? Your fixation with the recent USC football past and Lane Kiffin is now absurd. It’s all been asked and answered by other reporters. Nothing else to pick apart. Show some creativity. We aren’t interested in Kiffin anymore.

  3. ATTENTION CADRE: EMERGENCY MEETING TOMORROW

    The Cadre will hold an emergency meeting tomorrow evening at The Palm across from Staples Arena. We are all going to be required to investigate this important issue:

    We need to find the perpetrators that have caused Probation U to be so crazy.

    Our job is to find the guys that kept sticking his head in
    the toilet when he was in Jr. High School and continuing through High School, causing him to drop out and eventually get his GED.

    It’s the least we can do for the poor guy. See you at The Palm – it’s hosted by the Papa Sam Foundation.

    • Are there any 16 oz. rib eyes left?…..BTW..PU is has always been pretty decent to me….While I cannot condemn the man, I would be more than happy to act as consigliere for the new and improved Cadre…..

      • THoarse…I am more of a counterpuncher. I have good conversations and debates with you and you are great to kid around with.

        Blow, on the other hand, likes to dish it out and expects the Bruin in me to be soft and cuddly and just lie down and take it, kind of like that teddy bear he humps at night while watching late night Skinimax in El Segundo.

        I actually prefer the civil conversations, but `i will not be his little hump a lot.

        • Thanks, PU…..I appreciate that….I try not to take the comments on this blog too seriously, and definitely not personally…unfortunately, some people hide behind their screen name and computer monitor, develop a sense of cyber-bravery, and they spew out garbage that they never normally would, if their real names were attached to their posts…There is zero accountability… I have a secret wish that somebody, some day, hacks into this blog and exposes the real identities of all of these bozo’s…..you’d see them scatter for cover like a bunch of cockroaches…..it’ll never happen, I know, but it’s fun to think about….

          • My Trojan friends and I give each other crap all the time, but all in good fun. I went to a lot of SC games growing up. My favorite uncle went to SC and he would take my brothers and I to games. We would take him to UCLA games. So, while we would needle each other, that was all part of the program. I remember taking a road trip with him all the way to Stanford and back for an SC game.

            Now of course, I would like nothing better than a big victory on 11/30. However, if I took it all TOO seriously I would have commited suicide about 5 years ago.

          • Ha!… well, please never do THAT!…..I called the Bruin suicide prevention line once, and they put me on HOLD!!!!

            November 30th!………The entire City of LA will be alive!

          • It’s called Battered Bruin Syndrome. I preferred the 90’s!

            11/30 only REALLY matters if we win on 11/23 over ASU.

          • The stakes would certainly be greater with a UCLA win over ASU this weekend, but November 30th will still really matter (IMO), especially with the local recruits…..

          • Recruiting is definitely heating up. SC will always get there share, but there is plenty to go around. They go to Washington, Arizona, Nebraska and ASU can get anybody in school. They have zero academic standards.

    • wow, Probie U must really gotten inside your pin-head!! he’s not even in this string and out of the Blue, you come out all totally OBSESED!! just like when i’ve whoooped your asss in the past!

      whatever you did, nice work Probie!!

      wait, did Probie sleep with Lolo? i mean Jojo?

      • “wait, did Probie sleep with Lolo? i mean Jojo?”

        Quit living in denial, dementia is nasty stuff

        PS… get to work!….and please do not show up in your vintage Lew Alcindor jockstrap(faux)

  4. I wonder why Wolf never asked Kiffin that question, and instead has to lift material from other reporters and broadcasters.

  5. Better than acting like Lane. Why was Lane so despised by the alumni? Kiffin should look in the mirror and answer that question.

  6. SO he’s saying that Coach O is being fake. Way to take a shot, Kiff. Class just continues to elude you.

  7. It’s a sports truism: fans love a player’s coach at first; then turn on him when the team loses and clamor for a disciplinarian or an Xs and Os guy; then when the team loses they clamor for someone who can relate better to the players; then the opposite . . .

  8. “Pete Carroll Thing” – WORKS Stupid.. when are you going to learn how to be a leader of men?

  9. Ok, huh, errr, hmmm, was that a backhand slap at Coach O? “This is not who Ed is naturally”

    That sounds like Lane threw an uppercut at Ed.

    I’m glad USC fired him. He’s a dork.

  10. How does he know what CEO is naturally? It seems that everyone under his regime was stifled to one degree or another. Wonder why his players haven’t noticed Coach O being fake?

  11. You know why Lane Kiffin is a bitter LIAR ? Because when Pete Carroll was the Head Coach I would drop by the Campus every now and then to watch practice, and Ed Orgeron would display his enthusiasm way back then as he is doing now….lol Really ?? And everybody knows that’s how Orgeron has been the whole time he’s been at USC. Kiffin showed his true colors with that negative response .
