Players having meetings without telling him. Players saying Kiffin lied about conversations he said happened. Marquise Lee doesn't even call him coach, just Kiffin. Will he make it through this season?

Kiffin will be lucky to make it 3 more games. There is no chance he is ever coaching at USC again after this year.

If they lose to Utah St, and they might, he will be gone that Monday.
The only way he could save his job is a sweep of beating Notre Dame and UCLA.

Otherwise, he is gone at the end of the year.

Good ol' boy system/nepotism.

His dad's one of the best defensive minds in coaching, so he was destined to get high-profile chances due to his last name. After this debacle, though, there's a chance that the MAC will be too high-profile for him to get into.

Brings to mind what Andy Furman said on 700 WLW years ago that landed him and the station in some trouble with the bengals. In describing how Mike Shula still had a job with the bengals the Furman said he was "sperm lucky".

For a bit The bengals threatened to leave WLW and such. Was quote a hub bub.

But it is relevant with this Kiffin.

He'll get fired and end up coaching the Steelers or some other top NFL team.

Lane Kiffin's job survival is dependent on the USC athletic department's evaluation of him as a coach.

Con Alma would not even comment on this, as Lane Kiffin's job survival has nothing to do with his personal entertainment or him providing for his family.

And it has nothing to do with the Naval Academy.

Kiffin is a bigger fraud than Jimmy "The Liar" Tressel as far as coaching abilities go.

Yeah one of the biggest. Not familiar with his work? ...or should I say lack thereof.
