 Does USC owe UCLA for getting Kiffin a job?

Remember the preseason hype, the blue-sky-anticipation for UCLA’s football season to begin. UCLA had not one, but two coaches whom promised rapid change and to bring UCLA’s football into the national spotlight. WHOA NELLIE!

It happened alright, but only for one game against the Tennessee Vols. On September 1, in a horrible game, played by both sides, UCLA won 27-24.The Vols’ spirit could never recover from this defeat and continued the season with losses to: Florida, Auburn, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, and Wyoming.

Twenty-nine days later in Oakland; Lane Kiffin was battered grey and bruised black and questioning his own self-worth. In a defensive reaction, Kiffin lay low and avoiding all media spotlight

Exactly four months later, Lane Kiffin the former USC and Raider’s head coach was a completely different man. His body was neither gray nor black. He was standing tall and proud in orange as the new Tennessee Volunteer head coach. So, thank you Bruins for helping out a fellow Trojan out, but don’t expect any gratitude for it this weekend.
