[QUOTE="SoCal_GT_Fan, post: 10769, member: 365"] Living in SoCal and hearing the frustration out of the Trojan fans is music to my ears (since I was told how great the Trojans will be from here to eternity since the good ol' Bush/Leinart era). Would I want Lane Kiffin as our coach? [COLOR=#ff0000][B]NO[/B][/COLOR] 1) He does recruit well.... But its not THAT HARD to recruit well at USC. Of course, tell that to Paul Hackett but that's another story.... He's also whiffed on some real STUD recruits. DeAnthony Thomas comes to mind. Studs like that would have helped immensely. 2) He needed to fire his DC sooner. Technically, he didn't fire his DC (or his father to be exact) since he "resigned" after the season. But they just couldn't stop anybody on defense. Kiffin you see (Lane that is) is an "offensive" guru so he knows nothing about defenses and what not. His dad who's suppose to be one of the founding father of the cover 2 defense and with his NFL pedigree should have been able to stop any "amateur" offense but hasn't been able to do so. 3) He just rubs people the wrong way I don't know what it is. Could it be the fact that he's the son of a successful NFL coordinator and seemed to have glided his way to the top without a scratch to his armor? I'm not sure. 4) The offensive "guru" has an Offensive offense this year GT folks were up in arms with Vad's performance after the VaTech game. USC fans would have been ecstatic if any one of their QBs performed like that. These dudes are suppose to be 4-5 star QBs coming out of high school. Max Wittek (the guy who we all know well from the Sun Bowl) was overtaken for the starting stop by Cody Kessler who comes out hitting less than 50% of his targets. Think of Reggie Ball except this is at a factory school. The USC QB gets to throw to Marques Lee who's one of the best WRs in the country last year (better than Robert Woods who was Lee's teammate and 2nd round pick to the Buffalo Bills) and has a less than 50% completion percentage???? Also, the running game was mostly non-existent as well. That was driving lots of the older alumni nuts who were spoiled by the Marcus Allen and OJ Simpsons of the world running all over teams.
