What about the guy they hired to coach the gumps but never put a team on the field for them as he got fired for strip blob problems? Not messy?

I was 5 in the 1992 season so I don't remember, but I imagine losing to both of the new members of the SEC that year, particularly when neither one of them was any good, probably sealed his fate.

That Arky team came into the game with us that year 1-4 and upset us at home when we were #4. They finished 3-7-1. Big yikes.
tell the whole story...an Arky team that had lost to the Citadel

I'd put Kiffin down for three, Tennessee, USC and Ole Miss, leaving a head coach at the airport may be justified and fully deserved, but the Trojans have been lost in the wilderness since, with great players, NFL draft choices, but very little in the form of titles, big wins or bowl appearances.

The relationship at LSU is a ticking time bomb and will go off at some point on time.

Trojans were already in the woods when they hired Kiffin.

Slick Pete got outta there jussssstttt ahead of the posse.

Whoever took that job at that point and had to deal with the NCAA issues was doomed before they even started and Lane was not smart enough to realize that.

In terms of why they haven't really been a factor since, well that's debatable and there are probably 100 small things that add up to the current situation for them

One interesting thing to me about Woody Hayes is that him punching the Clemson player and getting fired immediately after isn't like the 1st or 2nd thing that comes to mind when you think of him.

He obviously was an incredible coach, but the way he went out didn't damage his legacy as much as you think it would.
Mike Leach at Texas Tech was messy. Whatever happened to Craig James?
