Done Pissing Off SEC Coaches, Lane Kiffin Pisses Off NFL Coach

In this writer's oft-humble opinion, Lane Kiffin's missteps in his year at Tennessee were seriously overblown, for the most part. Stoking the fires of a dying rivalry -- dying because Tennessee was no longer capable of being competitive -- with Florida wasn't exactly the worst thing anyone has ever done. Neither was calling out Urban Meyer as a smarmy weasel. He's a big-time college football coach. Of course he's a smarmy weasel.

Kiffin moved on to USC when Pete Carroll left and no one else wanted the job.

(Seriously. Rumor has it USC even offered the gig to O.J. Simpson first. Heh.)

Anyway, Kiffin's new program has found itself in some hot water. USC is on probation -- nothing Kiffin did, ironically -- and now there's talk that Reggie Bush may have to give back his Heisman Trophy from 2005. The school is sending back their replica of it. Oh, and Mike Garrett is out in favor of former player-turned-Notre Dame homer Pat Haden.

Most recently, Kiffin found himself in need of a new assistant coach. With the position of offensive coordinator open on the USC staff, he reached out to the NFL, poaching Tennessee Titans running backs coach Kennedy Pola, just days before the start of training camp.

Titans coach Jeff Fisher -- who apparently never received a courtesy call asking for permission to speak with his contracted assistant coach -- is not pleased with Kiffin.
"I'm very disappointed in Lane Kiffin's approach to this. Typically speaking, when coaches are interested in hiring or discussing potential employment from coaches on respective staffs there is a courtesy call made from the head coach or athletic director indicating there is an interest in talking to the assistant. So I am very disappointed in the lack of professionalism on behalf of Lane."

Naturally, Kiffin is saying he didn't contact Pola about the gig until Friday, and he tried to get a hold of Fisher about it. Of course.

Here's the problem: He knows when NFL training camps start. He knows the difficult position this type of move puts the Titans and Fisher in.

Moreover, he knows Fisher is a Trojan. He went to USC. His name came up when Carroll left. He's one of the most respected coaches in the NFL.

Does Kiffin think he can win any kind of PR war against Fisher? This is like bringing boxing gloves and a box cutter to a gun fight. Good luck, Lane.

Perhaps Kiffin feels the best way to success in coaching is to get every other coach on Earth to hate your guts. If that's the case, he's doing a great job.

  1. The Gods send clues about this situation frequently.
    Eddie of Iron Maiden.
    Closure of Fitsgeralds Reno/getting kicked out of Fits LV for "counting cards".
    WWII's other holocaust:::Unit 731:::tsushogo. And I get blamed because the Gods used me as an excuse to bury it in history, an act positioned with the Japanese and their importance in society.
    Stop obsessing. Let it go.

    Kidney poison cut into my methanfetamine. The "free" crank had a connection to the employer::::Severe seizures to punish me for stealing. Both punishment for the same offense, one decades later.
    And they used Artificial Intelligence to "push" me into stealing to sell the destruction of my health and life in this very public situation, for without it required resistance would have caused great problems in their positioning.
    It's just a matter of getting the pieces of the puzzle in place so their tools in highly visible, respected positions don't look bad in the process.
    Praying for the end of your wide-awake nightmare.

    "You're not going to be able to find work." because the Gods are positioning the Jews preventing me from finding a job.
    Sad thing is these people won't have ANYTHING to do with it. The god's positioning enables them the freedom to sell this telepathically. The actual people in these clone hosts have learned far too much to do anything foolish enough like participate. It will set them back and amplify the extreme punishment already in store for them.
    If there is ever people willing to participate they are either the youngsters who have yet to learn or a fresh new clone host, some kid freshly in, grumbling about going into a 60, 65 year old decrepid man.

    They have shared that when the change is initially made they alter the DNA with Artificial Intelligence, ensuring it is not the same person.
    Now depending on their level of activity the Gods switch out for new individuals, ie presidents switched frequently. They say they bring the (m)father's DNA when it is time to conceive, so it is strategically important who is in there for the conception of the children. The same may not be true for typical activity:::the Gods may alter the DNA upon initial clone hosting but it may be a general change. Conception requires specific DNA.
    And? So?
    So there are no Rockafellers. This was how the Gods eliminated their true importance, for now they are little more than lowly English peasants, ironically.
    Now the case can be made that far more men are invited into clone hosting than women, and since lineage is matrilineal it would rather follow that blood line instead.
    All it takes is one.
    But I wonder if it even matters. Those who learn and are wise enough to refuse the offer of clone hosting still have to repair their relationship with the Gods and hope for a better placement in their next life, one which certainly won't involve being a billionaire. Whether real Rockafellers or DNA alternates is of no concequence. Their goal is still ascention, which takes work and dedication. Being/thinking you're capitalism royalty invites a host of temptations, including grandeur and self-importance, which are all damaging to a good relationship with the Gods.
    If only they can overcome the temptations that money brings, like ample stunning women and Scarface piles of cocaine.
