I'd be willing to bet Kiffin has more success as a coach after he's gone... care to wager?

This whole situation is a disgrace. Every year since the Super Bowl has been a disgrace, and theres only been ONE constant through all of that...

Why give up free money? Thats dumb.

I would collect unemployment personally but me getting fired is worse then me quitting. For Lane Kiffin its different. Everyone in the LEAGUE knows how ridiculous Al DaviD is so basically you ride it out and get money. Kiffin isnt saying anything that EVERYONE In this ENTIRE league doesnt already know about Al.

If there's no way he can be a good coach, why did Al hire him?

Did I say great? no, I said he'd find more success, so do you care to wager or not?

thats my point though. everyone knows about al and everyone has known. kiffin knew about al when he signed that contract so in my opinion its his own fault. and if he is so miserable he can quit. he will get another job somewhere and i doubt hes hurting for money

Now the question is, why doesn't anyone want the job?

define more success dude. if by more success you mean 5 wins then sure he will get it. all he has to do is find a team with marginally more talent. so he can pick from about 30 teams

He's going through the motions because he knows he doesn't have the talent to compete and he doesn't have control of the roster. He also has no real authority to cut guys or take disciplinary action, so guys come out in games doing stupid **** like violating the league's dress-code so they can look sharp on TV, and then forget to play football.

yeah man he has been like that for ever. he knows he's out the door.

Do you think Al David is having second thoughts about hiring Lance Kiffin?
