Lane Kiffin to USCw Link Dump

You've heard by now that Lane Kiffin is off to cement his legacy as college football's biggest chea...er, human hype machine at Southern Cal. Here are some links you should follow should you wish to learn more about this situation.

SBNation.com--Our parent site is following the story with frequent updates. Go here for more links and the like.

Rocky Top Talk--This place is in meltdown mode. I would feel sorry for them, but then again they've been defending the guy since day one.

Conquest Chronicles--This is the SBN Trojans blog. They don't seem too upset about the situation, particularly as Kiffin is brining Coach O, Poppa Kiffin, and possibly Norm Chow along for the ride. If I were them, I'd be a bit worried about what might happen if Kiffin keeps it up with his, er, recruiting strategies at a school that's under the microscope, if not already facing probation. I suppose they're just happy that they didn't totally bomb the hire. You have to admit that Kiffin brings a nice staff.

Bruins Nation--The SBN Bruins site is covering the story from an anti-USCw slant. They're also interested in the Chow side of things.

Phil Kornblut--Kornblut, as you probably know, is the beat guy on recruiting in South Carolina. He's reporting that Brandon Willis and Corey Miller, of hostess scandal fame, are not going to play for the Vols. Willis plans to go out of state, but Miller may be ours. That would be huge, especially considering that we lost Clifton Geathers today.

I think this is an absolutely brilliant move by So. Cal.

Remind me to tell you why when I get the time…

Lane Kiffin: The Fourth Horseman of the Volpocalypse.

I absolutely love this move for So Cal. It’s brilliant. At this point no head coach of any merit would take the So Cal job. From the recent exodus of their current coaches, NCAA sanctions are all but imminent it would appear.

Kiffin is the perfect rebound coach for a post-Carroll USC. He isn’t a terrible coach as his 7-5 record at UT would suggest, and he’s a great recruiter to boot! He brings with him coaches of a caliber that would be hard to procure for a school facing NCAA sanctions. Monte Kiffin alone has proven to be almost worth suffering through the dickery of his son.

Kiffin will come in and stock cupboards full of top notch talent for a few years all under the very watchful eye of the administration and the NCAA (this will reign in Kiffin’s shenanigans). Then, once the sanctions have been lifted USC can kick Kiffin to the curb and get themselves one of those National Championship type coaches – and he’ll have plenty of talent to achieve quickly. I’m truly impressed. They really do know how to do things in style out in LA.

Just a thought...

Heard anything on David Reeves plans now? It would gratuitously hilarious if he was now unemployed (and yes, I’m laughing at someone’s potential unemployment. He’s made enough money – I think he’ll be ok for the time being).

Missed on Miller

Miller is going to stay at UT while Willis says he is going out of state. So basically Kiffin’s departure does not seem to help us recruiting wise as of yet.
