Kiffin should be fired tonight. That was the most pathetic playcalling I've seen all year.

Lane Kiffin is a total moron. Hard to watch Notre Dame have the game handed to them like this. He keeps looking at his clipboard as if he had something there besides run it up the middle and get tackled for a loss.

Sorry guys, we suck. Atleast it won't be SEC vs SEC in the Natty. :)

Worse part for me was seeing their leprechaun holding up his finger saying "we're number 1" and realizing he is right. Maybe not the best team in the nation IMO but it is what it is.

Why didn't he just kick the field goal? They had to have two scores anyway. What was Kiffin thinking?

Why did he use nearly the entire play-clock all four downs? Did he think he was only down by 6?

These are mysteries that Kiffin himself may not be able to answer.

Well that's just it...I'm not sure he was. Either that, or his head was stuck in his magical clipboard again. It's so bad, it's funny (similar to snakes on a plane).

Enough is ENOUGH! I've had it with these motherfucking coaches on this motherfucking team!

Logical reasoning would be to get within 2 in case ND managed to get a FG, leaving the window of opportunity open to come back for the win.

There's a part of me that enjoyed USC lose simply because I like the fact that Penn State ended up with a better record than USC and I still despise Silas Redd leaving PSU for USC.

There was only 1:57 left in the game. Since they were down by 9 and needed two scores, the logical thing to do would have been to kick the field goal to pull within 6 and then try an onside kick. Going for the TD at that point made no sense at all. He still would have had to try an onside kick even if he had gotten the TD.

It was just a dumb move. The term "Lame Kiffin" may not be too far fetched because he may be a "lame duck (I hate to say that)" coach.

I wonder if Steve Sarkisian would take the USC job if it were offered to him? Yes, he's only been a .500 coach at UW, but that's with a lot less talent. Most people would agree that he's a better coach than Kiffin.

That could REALLY shake things up in the Pac-12! If Sarkisian went to USC, Jim Mora might jump from UCLA to UW. You just never know. Anyway, I already went over some of this in the "Coaching Carousel" thread.

You must be joking, USC fans would probably riot if Sark was hired in any capacity. Also, Mora has already turned down UW once.

Isn't being on the short list, having informal talks and then issuing a statement that you have no interest turning down the job?
