Lane Kiffin returns to Southern California after one year at Tennessee
By Beth Rucker (CP) – 1 hour ago

Lane Kiffin is returning to Southern California as the Trojans' coach after just one season at Tennessee.

Kiffin was chosen Tuesday to replace Pete Carroll, his mentor and employer for six seasons. Kiffin was the Trojans' offensive co-ordinator before his brief stints with the Oakland Raiders and the Volunteers.

His father, respected defensive coach Monte Kiffin, and longtime USC assistant Ed Orgeron also will leave Tennessee to join him, USC said in a statement.

ESPN.com first reported the surprising move by Kiffin and the Trojans, who needed just one day to fill one of the most desirable jobs in college football. Carroll formally took over the Seattle Seahawks on Tuesday after winning 97 games, seven Pac-10 championships and two national titles over the past nine years.

I understand that you cannot let a job like this get past you, but he was only on the job for a year at Tennessee. What about the kids you promised in your negotiations? Tennessee is a good coaching job. In my opinion, this hurts his integrity. Everyone knew that old Goofus would leave USC for the right NFL coaching job at some point.

Boy that was dirty on Kiffin part, sort of like Saban did Miami.

Dave, that's the first time I see that picture of Sarah Palin. Where'd you get it???
