Lane Kiffin is like some sort of coaching version of Paris Hilton minus the obvious route of his inheritance.

Yeah, he's the worst, "best" coach out there. Only a matter of a year or two he'll be back as a head coach at a premiere school, falter, go to another big name, etc.

I'm not sure. I'd rather have Mangino on game day but Kiffin is a hell of a recruiter.

In fairness though, USC could sit on their ***** all year, then call 100 kids the day before signing day to offer and still get 5 5 stars and 20 4 stars.

He can recruit to places that don't need a recruiting pitch, show me a guy who can pull 4 stars at a non-trad power and I'll call him a good recruiter.

Put me in the camp who thinks Lane Kiffin has never truly EARNED a job in his life.

Interesting parallel. Most people had never heard of Paris until that sex tape. Tennessee fans probably thought Lane had done the same to them, including talking on the phone (to other employers) when he should have been, ahem, paying attention to Volunteer fans.
