Lane Kiffin Must Be The Luckiest Person in The World

After I finally figured out all of my computer problems yesterday, I logged onto Twitter and found out that USC hired Lane Kiffin to be their next football coach.

I thought this had to be a joke. Why would USC hire Kiffin? What has he proven? What type of advantage does he bring to USC? King of sounds like the same questions we were asking last year when Tennessee hired Kiffin, right?

That's why I thought this had to be a cruel joke. Why would USC hire a coach who shows zero loyalty? Why would USC hire a coach who scoffs a secondary violations he's committed, right before the NCAA makes their final ruling about the school? And how the hell can Lane Kiffin keep getting better jobs?

Well come to find out, none of this was a joke. Lane Kiffin left Tennessee after only one year and a 7-6 record to take the USC job. Yes Lane Kiffin keeps getting better jobs. Forget Lou Gehrig being the luckiest man on the face of the Earth, Lane Kiffin is the luckiest man on the face of the Earth. He's been so lucky if I was him, I would go immediately to Vegas and start playing craps. Let's take a look at the Lane Kiffin timeline.

Kiffin began his coaching career as a low level assistant to Tom Coughlin in Jacksonville back in 2001. He then moved on to USC where he was the tight ends coach, i.e. recruiter. Then after Norm Chow moved on he was promoted to offensive coordinator. In reality though he called no plays and never designed the gameplans because Steve Sarkisian was the real offensive coordinator. Then Kiffin was given the Raiders job at the beginning of the 2007 year, but that was after everybody including Sarkisian said no to Al Davis. After a season and a half, Kiffin was fired by the Raiders. We all remember the Al Davis press conference. Then last year Tennessee took a gamble on Kiffin, leading us to where we are now.

So I will ask again, is their anybody luckier than Kiffin? Goes to the Raiders after doing nothing at USC as an assistant. Given the Tennessee job after doing nothing in Oakland. Now he's given the keys to the Cadillac at USC after doing nothing at Tennessee. Lane Kiffin, the luckiest person in the entire World.

Now go buy that lotto ticket, Lane.
