People need to look at past circumstances for any coach that is considered and stop going by record alone.
Kiffin took over USC at the beginning of their probation in 2010 when they were only allowed to sign 15 scholarship players a year for 3 years. That's 30 players he didn't have at his disposal. He was only there 4 years. NO coach, Not even your ideal pick to be the new VOL coach could have won in that situation.
Kiffin in not a great coach. His record at USC says that. He screwed over Tennessee to go to his "dream job" and then got unceremoniously fired after just three seasons. USC was his dream job, not Tennessee. You can assume he tried his absolute best at USC and still didn't last 4 seasons.
Agree. I have little confidence that Phil will hire a winner. I'm fairly convinced he'll show up with some retread from somewhere. God, I hope he surprises me.
