I see Rick Nueheisel's name, but I don't see Lame Kiffin's why???? I guess he sucks, that's why.
Neuheisel is under .500 at UCLA right? Just making sure, because Lane Kiffin has a winning percentage of 100% so far at USC.
Taste it.
talk about sweeeeeet scooops!!!!!
our own Neuhassle, validated by wolf and the AP Cadre as one of the all time greats!!
wolf, you continue to be EN FUEGO!!!
keep oooooooon scooopin' wolfman!!!
AUU-AUU-AUUUUUU-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Not a great list to be on. But is it worse than holding the record for most wins over a 4-year period and NOT win a National Championship. That record is now held by Pete Carroll for his 2005-2008 performance.
@moron, Oh I forgot - the reason Kiffin's name does not appear on this list is because he's on the OTHER list, the "hot seat" list where he ranks #5 with his left foot out the door already - AFTER ONE GAME!! lmaorotff
Lick it moron (_!_) how does it taste?
Neuheisel would at least show in "Best Active Coach to Never Finish in the Top 25 (at his current gig?)", right?
@BruinRob:
If Lane Kiffin is (truly) in the "hot seat" at USC, what the hell do you call what Neuheisel is in at UCLA?
USC: 1-0
UCLA: 0-1
Taste it and FIGHT ON!
lbc trojan, are you that stupid? Rick Nueheisel's name is on the list of the best coaches...while Kiffin's name appears on the "hot seat" list of coaches...what is it that you don't understand?
With the talent thatCheat Carroll left for Lame he better go 13-0 or else he should be fired, no questions asked.
Head-to-head
Rick 1-0
Lame 0-1
BOOOOOOM!!! YOU are owned and pawned!!! GAME OVER!!
LMAO.
Brother Wolf, you keep presenting hard data and objective, unbiased opinions, but these Trojans do not want to hear the Truth.
Fear not, Brother Wolf. The whole Secret Cadre is here to help you spread the Good Word. Just yesterday, I taught my congregation at Normandie Lord of Zion a special new hymn:
Amazing scoops, how sweeeet the taste,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was an SC fan, but now I see.
Can I get an AMEN?
@BruinRob
You make yourself look stupider everyday. How many teams per year go undefeated? What are the chances?
When Florida won it all 2 years ago, they lost 1 game. When LSU won it all 3 years ago, they lost 2 games.
Pete Carroll took USC to a 13-0 record once. In an entire decade... it happened once.
You expect Kiffin to go 13-0? I guess all that says is that USC's expectations are higher than UCLA's, which isn't surprising.
UCLA beat Tennessee, congratulations. Now let's see them beat USC in USC's Rose Bowl (USC owns the Rose Bowl).
Oh wait.. that game is played in real life.. not simply talked about on a blog.
Can't wait for December 4th, you p*ssy
Fight on
AMEN BROTHER!!!!
talk about a sweeeeeeeet song!!!!!
post of the year, Brother Dupree!!
ahh at last the Cadre has a hymn to help make our alliance stronger than ever....and possibly help some lost heavily Kool-Aided trOJies to finally see the light!!!!
AU-AU-AUUUUUU-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Ps. Best active coaches WITHOUT a national championship..... LMAO...... WITHOUT A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How many years has Neuheisel coached college football as a head coach!!!??????? Colorado, Washington, now UCLA!!!!!!
This is only Kiffin's 2nd year, you MORON!!!!!!!!!!!
LMAO............ look how old neuheisel is! Kiffin's just getting STARTED!
FIGHT ON PANSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Polls are meaningless. Other than reminding us about the coaches who have never won a championship, this list proves exactly one thing: that these coaches have never won the big one.
@BruinRob:
Hawaii is a Division 3 team now?
K-State has the #1 Running Back in the nation? Funny, I couldn't tell you his name! I can tell you who Mark Ingram is though! (F*cking moron)
USC fans making excuses for their WIN? Lol... Keep enjoying that LOSS, buddy!
LMAO
Fight on!
@brother Dupree, AMEN!! MY BROTHA!!! AMEN!! that was the post of the month.
