The KNOXVILLE NEWS-SENTINEL reports this week that Lane Kiffin recently revealed his inspiration for dealing with a crisis.
“I could sit here and say, ‘Why did Oakland happen? Why did leaving Tennessee cause the trouble it did?’ Those things happened to prep me for this, to be a stable manager in a crisis. My model was Obama and his coolness under fire, the confidence he projects during disaster.â€
Only place I would characterize Kiffin as a “stable manager” would be Santa Anita.

well, this explains alot.

Real crisis will be when ND comes knockin’ in November.

Can this guy be any more of a jackass? He has definitely reached a new level! Obama wouldn’t know a real crisis if it bit him in the ass.

Lane needs to keep his head down, and his mouth shut.

Well, that says it all. If Kiffin thinks Big O is cool, USC football is sunk. Arguably the greatest program in college football history won’t even be able to beat Arizona St. in a year or two!

So Kiffin plans to skyrocket unemployment while protecting no show union make work bloated contracts, meet with the terrorist leader if Iran, quadruple the debt and triple the amount of vacations of his two predecessors? Hillary Clinton & 80 football coaches can’t believe this guy has this job. But the opposition sure loves it

At least he didn’t compare himself to me. I said “Hitler was a scapegoat.” I also said I “Admire castro and his policies in Cuba.” At least kiffin doesn’t support my diseased views. Also it means he won’t hit his wife.

Coach Kiff you are not from the Ryan tree

Kiffin has just confirmed he’s an idiot.
7:56 am on August 15th, 2010
Kiffin has charmed himself into three jobs, the Raiders, the Vols, the Trojans and paid very well; Where is he going to be in 10 years???
9:31 am on August 15th, 2010
Kiffin probably wants the Islamic Mosque built at ground zero too

Clearly this guy is going to fail big. Pete Carroll jumped off this sinking ship just in time. This guy won’t be able to right it, no one probably could right now and won’t be able to recruit for shit. The question is how far does he bury it.

My model for dealing with a crisis is Cindy Crawford.

My model for dealing with a crisis is a 67 Mustang convertible.

So, Obama will be gone in about two years. I guess Kiffin will follow shortly thereafter.
11:02 am on August 16th, 2010
So Kiffin will continue to allow his players to break NCAA rules while blaming Carroll for all of his problems?
12:41 pm on August 16th, 2010
Wow…ton of teabaggers/foxnews/republican on this blog…
2:54 pm on August 16th, 2010
I’m please to hear him say this, because I hate Kiffin and USC. Can’t wait to watch them all circle the drain.
3:02 pm on August 16th, 2010
Zippy, just a lot of people who pay attention…
8:48 pm on August 16th, 2010
Obama is a Communist and Kiffin is a F G

Whether you like USC or not doesn’t really matter. What has happened to that program is a shame. Putting Kiffin in charge is questionable at best. At least the President of the university and Pat Haden had the decency to send Bush’s Heisman back to the Heisman Trust, along with removing any other banner, jersey, etc. representing Bush. By the way, that is Reggie Bush, not GW!
11:06 pm on August 18th, 2010
So he will lose a lot of games, have horrible fan approval then blame Bush?

Good god Americas a shithole. All your hard working jobs when to countries where people work hard(china) and all your smart people jobs went to countries with smart people(not America). The days of America bullying the world are numbered and all the smart bombs and stealth fighters aint bringing the jobs back. Keep blaming Obama like its his fault youre all a bunch of ignorant retards?
