How many of Kiffin's 5 5 Star recruits decommit?

[horanic]

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.

Pat Haden the AD said yesterday regardless how they inish the season that Kifin will be the coach of USC next yr

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

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."

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.

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]

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

[fredsanford]

Why would they fire him before the probation ends?

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

none, it is still usc and an nfl pipeline

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

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

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.

[oxymoron]

Kiffee must have some really embarassing photos of Haden. He'll wreck that program within 3 years.

Amen!!!!

Kiffin will be at SC until the effects of the scholarship reductions are passed, meaning two more seasons, for a host of reasons:

In no particular order:

1. Kiffin's buyout is enormous. Not even Pac 12 channel money can save it. Between him and his Dad they make 5.5 million.

2. The AD, Pat Haden, will have a harder time filling the HC vacancy with scholarship reductions still lingering. Wait two years and the floodgates will open.

3. Kiffin has at least recruited well, meaning the next coach has a lot to work with.

4. These years were awash anyway, meaning Kiffin was there mainly to withstand the program through the sanctions years. Keeping him around, even after mediocre years like this, will create the demand to can him that SC admins wanted all along.

if they cange their minds, does UF even want them at this point?

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.

Zero and I'll put money on it
