Lane Kiffin's recruiting won't win any fans on CF, but it still amazes me how he has become chopped liver to the average DWF internet commenter. As far as I can tell, these are his offenses, in some loose order:
- left his "redemption" job at Tennessee after just one year for his "dream" job at USC
- is a smug white male who doesn't really apologize
- received his record-setting NFL job with Oakland with leverage of his father Monte's name and coaching legacy
- allegations that he cheated on his wife - they separated this year
The legacy surname is obviously true but never mentioned. Instead, Kiffin's failure at USC to win his way out of Pete Carroll's sanctions-laden hole seems to be the most popular theme of gloating. I suspect that this is somewhat of a proxy for the "smug white male" quality. Let me know if I'm forgetting some cardinal sin.
