Lane Kiffin to USC

[Danzig]

why won't he have success? first off, he's still a relative unknown regarding head coaching ability. he's got just over 30 games under his belt running the show, so the jury's still out-unless you go by w/l record. he's 12 and 21 between oakland and tennessee. then you factor in that usc has had a less than stellar year this year after losing many assistants-and now they'll start from scratch with their players. you also have some other pac-10 teams that are much stronger than they had been lately. add in any punishments soon to be handed down-not exactly shaping up to be a good recruiting year for usc with carroll leaving, potential loss of scholarships, etc. i'd also think that not everyone goes for the in-your-face type of attitude kiffin has-and he wasn't exactly well liked there as an assistant.

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