I think at least 3 of his prized recruits will decommit if Kiffen is canned. Quite frankly I wouldnt be surprised if they decommit just because the team just doesnt perform year in and year out. I sure hope Muschamp has his phone ready when Kiffen is canned.

And yes you did read correctly...Kiffen has 5 5 star recruits already committed.

I thought that's what Kiffin said that Haden told him...not that Kiffin would ever lie about anything..

Bill Plaschke of the LA Times says he actually called Haden after the game to confirm Kiffin's claims and Pat did just that.

That's what has been reported. If he does get canned, which I don't think will happen, it depends on who they get to replace him For some reason I can see Gruden going to LA. I don't see Gruden going to Tennessee, as has been reported.

Gruden already turned down USC in January of 2010 just before Lane Kiffin was hired. He has no ties to that program at all. If he does return to college coaching it will be Tennessee but it is much more likely that he either stays with Monday Night Football or takes over for Andy Reid in Philly or Norv Turner in San Diego...and Kiffin isn't going to be fired begin with.

If they leave they will be replaced by kids that are just as elite there is basically a waiting list for USC right now. Our class is almost done only two USC commits we would look at right now Jason Hatcher and Jalen Ramsey.

Also Haden said yesterday,

"Lane is my head coach, 150 percent, now and hopefully for a long time," Haden told the Los Angeles Times. "I see the future. I see the potential. I know what he's been fighting through and I like what he's done."

Yeah, it's not every coach that can take a preseason #1 team and have it 7-4 after 11 games.

like others have said he needs to fire his father. Lat year the main reason they lost games was because of the D the same with this year. The talent on defense is also not what USC is used to they should have not been ranked number 1 in the first place.

It's USC... why would they decommit? One of the best places in the USA to go to college and the scenes are even better.

You could put a no name coach there and they would still pull in 5* recruits.

dadx4 · 11-19-2012, 06:11 AM

They won't decommit because their checks have already cleared.

fredsanford · 11-19-2012, 06:44 AM

Why would they fire him before the probation ends?

This has been my point but it seems like emotions exceed all around here

none, it is still usc and an nfl pipeline

rpmGator · 11-19-2012, 08:30 AM

The part of Mike Shula is played by Lane Kiffen...

lean_gator · 11-19-2012, 08:50 AM

None. But when a coordinator at UF leaves, recruits go crazy! Funny how that works.

There aren't as many hot easy bimbos in Gainesville and you don't get the movie star treatment. I think the crackdown on the potheads will hurt recruiting also. Seems the best athletes smoke pot or have poor grades or both, which we can't recruit.

Uh oh. Does this mean Washington and Colorado are gonna be reeling in the 5 stars?

AmbroseGator · 11-19-2012, 08:57 AM

I love it. Hopes he stays for a long, long time. As someone said already, USC will get their recruits. That can't be helped. But with Kiffen at the helm there could be plenty of 3-4 loss seasons for them on the horizon and that suits me just fine.
