  WTF if true.
  
  Kiffin would just add to the violations lol.
  
  This is a huge mistake for USC, their program is going down the shitter as we speak. Kiffin is not the right man for USC.

  Wow. Didn't think he'd leave TN after only 1 year.
• karen lotz

  

  wow, just saw that. Can't say I'm too surprised although I thought he would be successful at UT
• se-alum

  

  Lol @ "my sources"!
• GOONx19

  

  Holy shit. Kiffin is a douche for leaving UT after one year. Enough said.
• Lovejoy1984

  

  I'm not too surprised that Kiffin took over, as long as he brings his dad SC should be ok next season.
• charliehustle14

  hahaha I bet the UT people are pisssed.
• osudarby08

  

  He might need to be taken out of Tennessee by secret service in fear of literally being murdered by UT fans.
• karen lotz

  

  ESPN did say his dad was going along with him. I'm not sure he will be the one to clean up the program, maybe SC thought his experience with NCAA infractions was an asset?
• thedynasty1998

  

  He must not be too scared of the NCAA. And no way he takes the job if he thinks the NCAA is coming down hard.
  
  I really thought he'd turn Tennessee into a perennial power in the SEC, but he'll have an easier route at USC, and will become an even better recruiter.

  Tennessee=stepping stone
  
  Kiffin=Saban as far as douchebagery
• Lovejoy1984

  

  From what I've heard his contract at UT was a joke, in terms of not being guaranteed any money, so I can't blame him for leaving, if that's true of course. If it is false, Kiffin is going to be almost radioactive if he bombs at USC.
  
  I've got no link to back this up, just heard it from some people at work.

  It is kind of a douche move, but I don't think I'd be able to turn down an offer like that. At Tennessee you can be successful, even win a national title, but at USC you can dominate your conference every year and be a top 5 team every year. USC is a FAR superior job to Tennessee.

  I agree with you but how is he going to have any clue as to what punishment the NCAA is gonna hand down? The next infractions committee meeting is sometime in February I think

  Kiffin signed a contract with TU that didn't have any guarantees??? Who wants someone that ignortant as their head coach?
• osu99

  I had wondered if Kiffin would take that jump if offered but figured it was a minimal chance they'd go after him.
  Guess I was wrong.
  
  Nothing makes a statement for gaining control of your athletics program like bringing in a human NCAA violation machine.

  Phil Fulmer has gotta be laughing right now.
