TMartin @ USC

[dreVol]

The other equation, and this is not to say it was the wrong decision for USC, but if the fan reaction had not been so angry then Haden wouldve let him finish the year. Kiffin did a terrible job, but it was predictable that they would slide quickly because they have absolutely no depth after the scholy reductions. I'm sure they are all blindsided by this in thinking that it wouldn't be an inseason decision.

From reported accounts, it sounds like Kiffin thought he was bigger than the program and acted accordingly. USC isn't playing for a championship this year (conference or national), so there's no sense in keeping a cancer at the top of the football program.

Not to mention, Haden has no problem cleaning house when he wants to and he's previously fired a coach mid season.

Orgeron will keep most of the recruiting class together and if he can win a couple games that's icing on the cake. Meanwhile, Haden will have ample time to survey the coaching landscape. USC also positioned itself as the first top-tier vacancy this year. They should be able to avoid getting into bidding wars with other programs that may be looking for new leadership this year (Texas, Penn State, Nebraska).

Jeez. There's more to life than coaching where you want to. His wife wanted to stay and he would make 2x as much money at USC than he would have coming here.

School loyalty comes in a distant second to providing for your family. Ask Jay Graham.

Three hundred thousand dollars a year (or whatever they were going to pay him) in Tennessee is enough to provide for just about any family. Not buying that one.
