i'd think carroll has a better shot had doing well the next few years than kiffin.

Oh dont get me wrong. He comes across as a little jerk to me. But at the same time, how much coaching will he have to do?
His dad is one of the best defensive minds in the history of the game that developed a defense that is used in some fashion by a majority of teams in the NFL. Norm Chow's resume speaks for itself.
What does he really have to do? Recruit and be the CEO. Sure there is more to it than that but he has a great staff around him and he has rich boosters and one of the most storied programs in NCAA history. He will have every opportunity to succeed is all I am saying.
