USC Morning Buzz: Lane Kiffin Pretty Much Fired At Alabama On Way Out

kiffin-alabamaLane Kiffin will not coach the national-championship game for Alabama after it looks like he was fired by Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban. It appears that big Sports Illustrated story last week, where Kiffin made some disparaging comments about Alabama, likely played a role. Here’s a good take on how bad things must have been between Kiffin and Saban for this to happen.

I wonder if Florida Atlantic still thinks it got the “changed” Kiffin? He has not changed. Even this doesn’t even crack the top 3 in Kiffin career embarrassments.

And who will call plays for the Clemson game? Steve Sarkisian, of course. Time for some more boogers.

  1. That is an amazing article even if one is tired of reading about Kiffin. The poor soul would have been far better served to ‘really’ take a look as to why he was out at 3 straight positions as head coach rather than jump into the AL ‘oc’ opening.

    Kiffin hasn’t changed a bit like Obama “I’m the smartest guy in the room and I’ll show you why!”

    • Did Obama have to change? He got elected in two landslides. Would’ve been 3, but that stupid constitution.

      • Nope, as long as you hand out the $$$$$ to people like Sam Bam, you ‘ll get their vote every time

        • Don’t tell me Obama phones are going away in 3 weeks!!??! Trump phones? Doesn’t have the same ring tone.

          • The size of the Trump phone is HUGE! It will be beautiful and you will love it. Winning never gets old.

          • Trump’s just laughing at the media, the Clinton’s and the Obama’s. Har, har, har.

            He’s already tooled the media like no other politician in history. Hillary is face down in the mud and he’s gonna undo Obama in quick order and completely set a new Supreme Court and federal judge posture before he’s done.

          • We’re smarter and grew up when you had to win a trophy, make a team, get a job, buy your own house and couldn’t get more than a 4.0 gpa in HS.

  2. How can Lane pretty much get fired when he pretty much got hired as a head coach elsewhere a month ago? Usually Saban tells those guys to go immediately, but he kept Lane on. As for Booger Boy, I think Saban is crazy to entrust this guy with any responsibility. People can change, but has Sark done anything since getting fired from SC last year to indicate a change? What if he shows up s-faced to the national championship game? Does Saban have John Morton on speed dial?

  3. I can’t believe Lane Kiffin bad mouthed Nick Saban, and his Alabama program one week before his official departure. Like I said before, Kiffin is extremely immature, and I’ll be surprised if he succeeds as a head, coach .

    • Fred, we agree. Kiffen is an immature fool who has the gift of always saying the wrong thing at the right time. He will fail badly at FAU, imo.

    • The Kiffer wanted out and he wanted out bad. No reason for him to be hanging around ALA. Herman hung around HOU and look what happened to him in his final two games. He lost to MEM and then got totally smoked by SDS, 34-10. Real smart.

      I’d like anyone to explain to me just how it helps the Kiffer to help win another NC for Saban, on his way to six.

      The Kiffer is happier than a hog in mud right now and recruiting/staff organizing like a mutha, as he should be. The Kiffer helped organize this whole scenario and set it up with media comments. And frankly, ALA looked less than great on O and the Kiffer needed to move on.

      I’ll bet he does great at FAU and will launch from that job when he gets tired of Boca Raton. Will be interesting to see who’s right here, you or me. SteveG’s got your back too. You guys are ganging up! You’ll both be totally surprised with the Kiffer at FAU. He’s gonna kill it.

        • You really wish the Kiffer well? Doesn’t sound like it. But that’s your prerogative.

          The Kiffer makes enemies easily and there’s plenty of reasons for that. He’s a selfish lightning rod – just like Saban, Meyer, Harbaugh and Fisher. That’s right. They’re all like that though they all play the game like champs, but really they’re know different than the Kiffer. I know coaches who worked for Saban, Meyer and Harbaugh. Lots of behind-the-scenes negatives, I tell ya. Wow, some of the stories, yelling matches, power moves, big lies. Amazing stuff.

          I just don’t see the big deal about him moving on now. I never understood why he was the ALA OC for the UW game. They brought in the booger eater for exactly this reason – to take over for when the Kiffer was gonna leave, which was obviously planned out before the season even started.

          Nobody likes working for Saban. Good for educational purposes only. Then anyone with any talent is gone ASAP.

  4. I ran a company for years. Once an employee said they were leaving it was best to let them go as their mind was on the new job anyway. I would actually accept their two week notice and asked them to work at home anyway .

  5. Why is ANYONE surprised ??????????

    This pampered little brat was REQUIRED to be there at 7:30am, oh poor baby.

    This narcissistic little spoiled brat will never get it. There is a reason that Saben is so freaking good, he DEMANDS hard work.

    I can’t wait for all the rah rah brain dead trolls defend this latest move by this clown

  6. Whats the over and under with Kiffin at FAU ? .. #bridgeburnerKIFFIN

    Answer: 17 months max

  7. Sarkesian takes over as the new Alabama OC playing for a national championship, and all he had to do was pick his nose.

  8. What a low moral character jerk. Typical Kiff, screwed up, bad mouth the hand that feeds him, screws under other coaches, teams, and even burned down his marriage. This is guy that will ultimately not succeed at coaching despite being handed more than his fair share of opportunities based on his name but not ability.

    Kiff does have an ugly gruff immature ego on the surface but if you can dig deep enough, you will find Kiff really deep down has ugly gruff immature ego there too.
