Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Tennessee's Lane Kiffin has agreed in principle to become the next head coach at Southern California, sources close to the situation told ESPN.com's Chris Low on Tuesday. Kiffin would replace Pete Carroll, who jumped to the NFL as coach of the Seattle Seahawks. Kiffin, the former Oakland Raiders coach, led the Volunteers for only one season. According to the sources, Kiffin will bring his father and defensive coordinator, Monte Kiffin, and assistant head coach and recruiting coordinator Ed Orgeron to Southern Cal with him, and wide receivers coach Kippy Brown will be named interim head coach at Tennessee. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4820737 Quote Link to comment

Fuzzy Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Man, its like the past two years has been a coaching shakeup for the NFL and NCAA. Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Didn't see this coming at all. This will cause a recruiting shake up. Quote Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 so much for all that bullsh#t about restoring the pride and glory to Tennessee...they must be pissed in Knoxville Quote Link to comment
NUpolo8 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 That is a total slap in the face manuver to Carroll. Those two hated each other and Kiffin was due to be fired before he took the Raider job. Quote Link to comment
n.e.husker Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I think he will do well back home, he know the area and is a good recruiter. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 What a puke.. do Tennessee and USC play each other any time in the next four years? I would really love to see the players he recruited there kick him in the butt for pulling something like this. Quote Link to comment
HSKRNOKC Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Tenn has 14 4 star players unsigned... GET UM!!!! Quote Link to comment
krc1995 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 WOw- so did not see this one coming. I don't even know what to think except he should be ok with the NCAA investigation see'n how he may of got Tennessee into so warm water. Quote Link to comment
Captain K Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 It would be nice to see, other than getting fired, a coach unable to transfer to another school without sitting out one year (without being at the school for at least 4 years). Players can't pull this kind of crap! Quote Link to comment
Dhuskers Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I saw Tennessee has two jucos from cali that already signed the LOI.. Quote Link to comment
