Ahhhh...Lane Kiffin. What else can he do to top his latest transgression in the world of sports? Kiffin has gained notoriety in the past for accusing Urban Meyer of cheating without any evidence, saying that the best job that a South Carolina grad could get would be pumping gas, arguing continuously with Al Davis about Jamarcus Russel's suckiness (Kiffin was actually right in that instance) and leaving the University of Tennesee in a lurch by leaving the program in the dead of night, causing the students to riot.
Now Lane has done it again by poaching the Tennessee Titan's running back coach Kennedy Pola by hiring him as USC's offensive coordinator. The Titans are now suing Kiffin. According to the Titans, Kiffin and USC persuaded Pola to breach his contract with the Titans. Also, they claim that neither Kiffin nor USC called to ask the franchise if it would be alright to talk to Pola, which is a customary courtesy in the NFL.
Titans coach Jeff Fisher, a USC alum and avid supporter, claims that Kiffin did not call until Pola had already accepted the job as offensive coordinator at USC. Kiffin gave this lame-ass quote to the media: "We realize that the timing of this isn't perfect for all parties, but this is a great opportunity and promotion for Kennedy."
It is obvious that Kiffin breached a code of ethics and that Pola did breach his contract. We shall see what happens to "The Boy Wonder". I doubt this is the last we hear from this jack-ass since he finds it appealing to be a weasel and as controversial as possible.
