Let's play a game...
1) Has never been a successful head coach at any level.
2) The term "grow into the position and become an excellent head coach at USC" was used when describing them.
3) Had multiple embarrassments that became national news during game weeks.
4) Gave up more points than any team in USC's history.
5) Gave up more passing yards than any team in USC's history.
6) Gave up more rushing yards than any team in USC's history.
7) Had an embarrassing loss at home against a team they had no business losing to.
8) Was highly ranked and then fell out of the top 25.
9) Had massive fan backlash due to their results.
10) Coached a USC team with absolutely no offensive identity whatsoever.
11) Coached a team that was deemed a massive underachiever.
12) Hired a close friend as an assistant coach who has no business being a coach at a school like USC.
13) Had a defensive coordinator that is under fire for lack of development or results.
14) Coached a team that has shown no improvement (and even some elements of regression) as the season went on.
15) Was an assistant coach under Pete Carroll.
16) Has been accused of being a lush.
17) The term "failed upward" has been used to define their career.
18) Is considered an excellent recruiter but has never proven to get the maximum out of their players.
19) Often deflects the blame to others, including the players. Lacks the ability to accept accountability.
20) Was hired because he "gets" USC.
21) Stubbornly refuses to surrender play calling duties.
22) Horrible clock management especially during final moments of close games.
23) All-time winning % barely north of .500.
24) Failure to make positive adjustments at halftime.
25) First cfb head coaching job in 2009.
26) Proven track record of mediocrity.
27) No major bowl appearances and weak bowl results.
28) Teams either unranked or ranked lower than beginning of season (LK exception in 2011).
29) Consistently out-coached.
30) Assistant coaches performance weaker than they've shown in other positions under other head coaches.
Are the above in reference to Lane Kiffin or Steve Sarkisian?
Thanks Pat.
