Has anyone received more hype for doing less? Basically his resume is the following :
1) He has had two mediocre stints as a head coach
2) He was a good assistant coach.
3) His dad is a great assistant coach.

Barack Obama received more hype for doing less, but that's for another forum...

To be fair both of his jobs were incomplete. One because his boss was crazy and the other was his doing. I will say, his teams seem to go to war for him.

I've always thought the same thing. Crazy how hyped he is and he only has 12 totals wins as a head coach between Oakland and Tennessee.

I'll nominate Charlie Weis. The guy had never been a head coach and just 7 games into his first season (with a 5-2 record), the administration gifts him a 10 year contract extension worth between $30-40 million. Lots of hype with little results.

These are my feelings on him. He is obviously a good recruiter and really made a lot of progress at Tennessee before bolting. With the resources at USC (and minus any major penatly by the NCAA), I think pretty much anyone could win there.

I smoke weed and talk shit like Lane Kiffin!
