Fair enough. The guy's definitely not a great HC, but his resume does get him OC jobs for a reason. Then again, you'd leave Tenny over fan riots upon your departure and that ~$200M athletic department debt, too. As for USC, there was no reason for RichRod to rank a squad short on depth and on probation #1 at all. That wasn't his fault.

Who hasn't stunk as Raiders coach? Sure, Hue Jackson got 8-8 out of that bunch with Carson Palmer at QB, but you're already behind the 8-ball with that job if The Black Hole is what's bringing in revenue...

My sentiments exactly. The dude's a great OC, but has proven to be a mediocre HC. It's like hiring a Will Muschamp with baggage.

AMEN! He must have dirt on someone to keep getting these high-paying positions. He was out-coached in the championship semi-final, so off he goes. Who cares?

I can't stand Kiffin, but Bama scored 5 offensive TDs vs. Ohio State. If you think OSU's defensive coordinator outcoached him... let's just say that pretty much anyone would be very happy if their offensive coordinator was "outcoached" so badly every game that they "only" managed 5 TDs.
