Value For Money
When Lane Kiffin says USC got outcoached by Virginia, that is a scary thought. Let's take a minute to see what that actually means. It means Monte Kiffin, probably the highest-paid assistant coach in the country, is getting outcoached and despite allowing only 14 points, it did not feel like a bravo defensive performance.
When you are supposed to be practicing special teams more than ever and get caught extremely flat-footed on a fake punt means you are getting outcoached. Getting penalties along the offensive line means you are getting outcoached.
So, in a nutshell, it's hard to argue with Kiffin.
That's a real shame, because USC's success has always been built on getting value for its money -- Reggie Bush, OJ Mayo, the land-roving McKnight, were all worth the $$$ they were paid back in the day.
Hey Westwood--How's UCLA? Taste it!
Let's get used to it folks. These next 5-7 years are going to be horrible ones. This team will be even worse next year. Just being honest. This is Lane's one shot at having a good year as it will be impossible next year and the following.
Hang in there.
