About Arizona State
Although USC offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin and assistant head coach Steve Sarkisian are interested in the job, sources say athletic director Lisa Love prefers someone with head-coaching experience. Former offensive coordinator Norm Chow interviewed last weekend, although he does not have head-coaching experience.
Love might turn to her alma mater, because Texas Tech coach Mike Leach is also a candidate.

Stop teasing us that someone else is stupid enough to take Kiffin off SC's hands

With all this talk of Pete possibly leaving for the Cardinals, think there is any chance Chow would be interested in the HC position at USC, or is there too much bad blood?

Santa,
The only thing I want for Christmas is for USC to fire Lane Kiffin.

Anyone with half a brain in her head would be more interested in DeWayne Walker than Sarkiffn. To the victor goes the spoils.
Booty must now spend the next four weeks watching film and getting inside the head of Ron English so the same thing doesn't happen to him against M.

Hey Lisa Love,
Lane Kiffin is the most creative, passionate and capable O.C. candidate for the job.
PLEASE TAKE HIM!
Sincerely, loyal Trojan fan!

Scott:
I heard from a reliable source that Kiffin will move back to wide receivers, and the new offensive coordinator will be:
1) Paul Hackett?
2) Ted Tollner?
3) Rodney Peete?
4) Walt Harris?
5) Bob Toledo?
6) Homer Smith?
7) Rick Neuheisal
8) Keith Gilbertson
9) Petro Papadakis
10)Paris Hilton
11)George Raveling
12)Wolfman Jack
The answer is: No.4 Walt Harris although Pete is talking to Keith Gilbertson also who I believe is the best choice. This guy knows offense. He is not a head coach, but was very successful under Don James. The players do not like Kiffin, and believe he would do nothing but something for himself in a crunch.The problem is Pete is close to Monty Kiffin, and does not want to fire him, and sacrifice the friendship.
Fight On Wolfman!!
Trivia: I wore No.10, and played QB in the mid 70's. Who am I? Please don't be fooled by the nickname. I am better than Musberger, and I am not Dan Fouts, or Bob Griese but similar during my spare time on weekends. I was better than Booty, and much smarter academically. I threw to Diggs, and Mckay who were ever bit as good as Jarrett and Smith.

Might TT's trivia refer to Pat Haden?

kiffin had the potential to make a lot of $$$ from a usc loss AND could make it happen. odds were pretty high according to online betting. i wonder if kiffin or his family betted against the trojans?

Just my analysis of our trojan "state of the union". Three Christmas wishes from Santa:
1) I wish Kiffin would be more creative and not be so conservative. The opposing coach can see right through the Usc play calling.
2) I wish Holt and Carroll would go back to the wide open aggressive defense Usc played in Carroll's first 2 years in the helm. The end of the game zone is getting tiresome.
3) I really wish Carroll would give Sanchez a chance the next time Booty get's rattled and is ineffective.
