After all the candidates that USC wanted did not want the job they turned to an old friend and hired Lane Kiffin as the next head coach of the USC Trojans. Kiffin coached under Pete Carroll so he knows the system and how things work at USC. All in all a good safe hire for the Trojans who wanted a name that people would recognize and knew a little bit about the program.
For Tennessee Vol fans they have to feel like they just got kicked in the stomach. After hiring Lane Kiffin they thought they had the coach they wanted. He said all the things they wanted to hear and was turning the program around only to leave when something better came a long. I guess in the end though maybe Tennessee is the real winner here. They can hire a coach who actually wants to be there and build the program. Kiffin in my opinion just used Tennessee as a stepping stone to other jobs and probably would have left anyways. If your a Vol fan do not be too disappointed as it probably will work out better for you anyways.
