Lane Kiffin was a coach at USC two years ago when fellow USC coach Steve Sarkisian reportedly turned down the head coaching job for the Oakland Raiders. In stepped Kiffin to accept the (unenviable) position.
Bad move?
Yes, no, maybe. Kiffin was publicly berated and humiliated by senile Raiders owner Al Davis for more than a year before Davis cut him loose and refused to honor his $2-million-a-year contract. Davis, of course, was careful to throw as much salt in Kiffin’s wounds as he could as he fired him on television.
Poor guy, this Kiffin, right?
Wrong. If reports out of Tennessee are correct, Kiffin this week will be named coach at the University of Tennessee at $2.5 million a year, and this just a little more than a month after the Raiders’ sack job.
We should all be so unlucky.
Now, when things like Kiffin’s firing and humiliation happen to me, they stay happened forever, and I’m forced to move on and grovel for some kind of meager existence.
Bottle up your magic, Lane, and send me some–quick!
