The USC AD sent that out 5 AM their time. Lane Kiffin was asked to pack his bags as soon as the team plane got back last night.

So you can fire a coach early in the season?

Who knew?

I think the clock is running (ha.) on Ron Turner next.

Man, you think people are tough on RV, you should go read the things USC alum have to say about Pat Haden. Mostly along the lines of, "single handedly destroying a century of tradition and winning."

He should be canned for being stupid enough to hire that douchebag Lane Kiffin. They're letting him off too easy.

I think very few people are tough on RV.

Very, very few.

Tradition of what? Cheating like hell, getting caught, and then expecting a new coach to win like nothing happened just prior to his arrival? Didn't USC suffer some of the worst sanctions ever from the NCAA?

Only 56 recruited scholarship players because of what happened before they even heard of him. I guess they figure that the kind of money they offer can buy a coach who can produce results no matter what circumstances they're in.

Oh, I certainly don't disagree.

he didnt make that hire... that honor goes to Mike Garrett, former AD

[MeanMag]

Don't feel bad for any party involved except for maybe the student athletes.

[Christopher Walker]

Something I just read regarding their AD: "Some perspective: In 2013 alone, he's fired the baseball, football, men's basketball, and women's basketball coaches."

Talk about cleaning house.

This USA-Today article outlines possible USC candidates. I hope Chris Petersen and Kevin Sumlin stay way, way away from USC.

Why? I would think that USC would be a high profile HC position and probably pays pretty darn well. It is a pretty storied program in spite of the issues Silver pointed out...heck, hard to pick out a biggie without some of those same issues or others similar. Sad statement, but pretty true within the ranks of the big boys.

Im looking for a new job, Im pretty good at fantasy football... Cant be much different. The TV loves me, the players love me, I should be hired.

I hear the best time to look for a new job is while youre still employeed, in which I am.

naaa paul pasqualoni will get terminated waaaaay ahead of turner. If turner gets fired, then it will be after FIUs AD gets terminated, so it takes a bit longer to organize it (and also I am not sure FIU has the money to terminate turner)

What do you think your salary should be? Do you come cheap or are skills like yours expensive?

[oldguystudent]

Do you come cheap

Usually, yes.

or are skills like yours expensive?

Very

[Rudy]

I applied. Stayed at a Holiday Inn last night.

And there it already happened... Pasqualoni is a gonner....still surprised they did this before the USF game though.

Boom indeed.

Feel bad for Pasqualoni, he got screwed at Syracuse when he was let go and they brought that Longhorn Jackass who ruined their program.

Another reason to hate the Longhorns.

[TheColonyEagle]

Going to be an interesting off season.

The assumption is Mack Brown will be gone too.

So 2 of the highest profile jobs in college football will be looking for a HC. Just a few years ago these 2 teams were the best in the country and seemed untouchable.

How quickly fortunes can change...

#benford'd

It almost happened to Cristobal.

Yeah, two years is really quick. You and I have different definitions of quick.
