Get ready to laugh. The sad part of all of this is that it's true!
Kiffin is basically Kato Kaelin with a headset; if his coaching father didn't gift him the keys to a football life, he'd be living in someone's guest house.
Kiffin, of course - like so many non-educators before him - has no business on college grounds. His only business is winning football games; he couldn't find the campus library if you put it in his playbook. Lane Kiffin and higher learning are mutually exclusive; on the other hand, Lane Kiffin and higher earning are fast friends - USC is paying him $4 million to run the show and his father Monte $2 million to run the defense.
(That's a father-and-son combo bringing home six large a year. Not a bad family business, considering the CEO has little experience running anything other than his mouth.)
Kiffin has a bachelor's degree from Fresno State in leisure service management, which qualifies him to stick the umbrella in the Mai Tais at Club Med.
He specializes in high-scoring offensive schemes and high-scoring recruiting hostesses; the man is equally adept at judging a strong throwing arm and a nice set of legs.
On his best days, he lies; on his worst days, he cheats. He's good at both.
If Kiffin were a parking valet, I wouldn't trust him with the keys to my car.
Kiffin - Carroll's one-time assistant at USC - appropriately now has to bear the burden of Carroll's wink-wink tenure. The Trojans are banned from bowl games for two seasons and have lost 30 scholarships over three years.
