That is our new nickname for Lane Kiffin, for who else could get an NFL and plum SEC job by 33?

Are you also making a paper collage for him before he departs for Tennessee? You're not a 12 years old girl, so perhaps you should just refer to him by his actual name.

Hopefully it's a positive nickname. Those that bag on Lane Kiffin because of his age are just showing theirs (i.e. "old jaded farts"). There is really nothing that sucks more than being the young guy who has his [censored] together among a crowd of older people who don't and being treated like a rookie. Been there. There are plenty of 33 year olds who have literally changed the world in their short lives. A stint as an NFL coach and a great SEC coaching gig don't symbolize excessive success for someone at that age.

Scott,
Are you seriously that jealous of Kiffin? I think you need to go to a good psychologist so you can cry to them about why you are still a beat writer for the Daily News at the age of 40.

It would be cute if Sports Illustrated, EDSBS and Yardbarker hadn't already used the nickname in the last few months.

This is pedigree plus hard work. Son of Monte, protege' of Carroll, and hard-ass worker. Couldn't be happier for him. Go Vols!

Are you naming him that because he is some sort of super hero without a single super power?

Goatboy seems to be Kiffins name on the USC football boards. Those people have no mercy for that guy. Goatboy does seem to fit though.
