Lane Kiffin did not get/take the Houston job, but in my weekly notes column, I ask if he has changed enough to really be a successful head coach? I offer an example when he injected a player into a story as a way to slip out of an awkward situation. I also mention the latest on quarterback Max Browne. Full story here
Mike Lombardi, and many others in the football world, don’t think Lane Kiffen, has changed at all . But at the same time, there are many that think he’s ready for a second chance, but I’m not one of them .
Ready for a 2nd chance? Is Tennessee chopped liver?
Who knows? Some say that 3rd time is the charm.
As the saying goes, everyone deserves a fourth chance.
Only time will tell, Larry
So Raiders was chance one, Tennessee was chance 2, USC was chance 3, and Alabama is nothing but a time out. Look at him in the above picture, compared to Saban. Still thinks he is a cool kid. When he starts to act like a humble, confident, mature man, then he may be ready to step out on his own.
People forget that he left Tennessee on his own. They wanted him to stay and he broke their hearts.
Bingo
That isn’t happening in this lifetime.
Does your column happen to include anything regarding USC football?
…or any of the other sports the University competes in…
And…to the Power of ucla…
The Mediocre Jamabo Award on Fox Sports Live goes to – that’s right – Soso Jamabo. “He really earned that one.”
Blaaaah Blaaaah Blaaaah.. Same O Same O.. Who cares about Kiffin, Sills and Sark..and Washington being a 14 1/2 point favorite. Do you ever get recruiting intel .. Come on SW a 10 year old could do a better job!
“I ask………” who’s he talking to?
Maybe.
His recruiting Intel dried up long ago. Burned too many bridges and Norm Chow left.
“It’s not nice if blog comments use inappropriate language and/or attack and abuse others. Those comments will be deleted.”
Unless it’s about Lane Kiffin, SW’s obsession. Those are allowed and actually encouraged.
But the Blogger wrote yesterday that Kiffin did get the Houston job – what gives?
Where’s C.J. Spiller?
Another deeply researched SW project. We won’t be letting him live this one down forever. He’ll always have to deal with, “How’d the Kiffer do at HOU Scott?”
Another Spiller moment…laughing all the way!
Sort of like how he can’t help but constantly bring up the 1-3 start.
Where Bryce Dixon, Dr. Rachel Maddow of Inside USC?
You’re killin me. Poor Helen. lol
Don’t worry about me – I block these idiots so their posts go unread.
#BlockThoseTrolls
Unfortunately for The Dr. Rachel Maddow of Inside USC everyone else still reads about her prognostication prowess.
Fake news, it’s all the rage these days.
The Dr. Rachel Maddow of Inside USC was ahead of her time with her fake news on Bryce Dixon returning to the team.
Instead of reporting on who outgoing QB Browne is visiting this weekend, maybe the Blogger should report on USC’s big recruiting weekend.
Exactly!!!
What’s the news on the recruiting front? Assume the three star de-commits mean good things but haven’t heard.
Unless the story is that Browne can’t find a comfortable situation that guarantees a starting position and returns…………….
Personally I would hope that Browne sees he’s not NFL material and stay at USC to complete his Masters. Nothing wrong with a free Masters from a great academic institution. But the egos on these athletes and their families will probably prevent clear thinking. And if Darnold gets injured next year and Browne gets some playing time, then that’s icing on the cake.
I don’t think that by any stretch of the imagination can anyone say that Sam’s ego has gotten in the way of clear thinking. He completed his degree while fighting for a starting job. He had many opportunities to leave SC, but opted to stay and complete. I have nothing but respect for Sam Browne. I hope he catches lighting in a bottle and gets to enjoy the rush of athletic success one more time. FIGHT ON SAM!
Umm, Trojan5, it’s MAX Browne, Sam Darnold… and although I’m disappointed since Max isn’t staying through the Rose Bowl, I respect his desires to play football elsewhere as well.
My mistake. Good catch. Thanks for the heads up
Jim Raveling…George Raveling…
I really like sam brown and I like max darnold too. both good players.
Stop please–my head is spinning.
Baseball, football it’s all competition!
I’m not saying his ego has gotten away, but more the average 5-star player coming out of high school who thinks they have a golden path to NFL riches. At some point Browne needs to come to grips that his future is not as an NFL QB (if that is the case).
I have the ultimate respect for Browne and how hard he has worked and carried himself. And that he has concentrated on academics as well.
I really felt sorry for Browne when USC played UW in Seattle – it could have been a great story of the golden child’s return to Seattle to beat the #4 ranked team. That must have been very difficult for him.
I don’t think it is the lure of the NFL as much as he just wants to play.
Wolf- own your missed call on Kiffin. You try to hold everybody else accountable, eat your own crow for once (twice, CJ Spiller anyone?). You tried to be the first to report it and you got burned, admit it..
Straight out of the CNN playbook, doesn’t have to be true at all, just be first.
Except it was USA Today that he linked to. You should try that accountabilty thingy some time yourself.
Amazing congratulations tweeting in to Adoree. He seems like the most popular player on the planet with those who are actually in the game. Deion Sanders, Charles Woodson, Jalen Ramsey…What a player!
The Kiffin obsession continues…. You’re obsessed with grown men like Kiffin, Colin Cowherd, The Baby QB (who’s actually a grown man), Sark, Ed Orgeron, ect. None of them are at USC
Several coaches are leaving Alabama after their last game!
Probably heading to the Big Ten where the real money is now
I read that earlier
Kiffin will be getting another Naty ring. Houston will settle back to mediocrity with Major Applewhite.
Ah Scott, your trying to save grace on the Kiffin Houston deal.
Scott works for the USA Today now?
This season we have watched USC come from the ash heap to the Rose Bowl. Real progress and improvement was made. Conversely as USC got better, Scott Wolf got worse. As the season has progressed he has continually gone downhill into almost worthlessness. Nothing pertinent in his news article and his blog posts border on ridiculous. There is very little to be gained from anything Wolf produces.
The blog was actually very informative when it started, but turned South when the Blogger got booted from USC practices. Nothing but his hidden agenda and false conspiracy theories anymore. Sad, as he has the talent as he showed prior to that fateful day.
The Dr. Rachel Maddow of Inside turned South when her prediction on Bryce Dixon turned out to be as accurate as the Clinton News Network.
Scott Wolf=Jealous
Is there anyone the Blogger is not jealous of?
The Dr. Rachel Maddow of Inside USC is bitter that she isn’t the blogger of Inside USC and that Hillary lost.
