OT: Lane Kiffin continues to "disappoint" Tennessee

Submitted by formerlyanonymous on

Lane has poached Tennessee Titans running backs coach Kennedy Pola to become his new offensive coordinator. Apparently he didn't inform Jeff Fisher or the Titans staff that he'd been talking with Pola.

"So I am very disappointed in the lack of professionalism on behalf of Lane, to call me and leave me a voicemail after Kennedy had informed me he had taken the job. It is just a lack of professionalism."

Go figure.

Keep burning bridges and it will bite you in the ass someday, I can't wait for the day Lane's world comes crashing down.

If Kiffin is as shady with his money as he is with every other aspect of his personal and professional life, he could easily become one of those "WTF Bankrupt" stories.  After which, of course, the hot wife leaves, if she is still hot.

I know I shouldn't feel this way, but somehow the image of an older, disheveled Lane Kiffin, who has burned all of his bridges, is broke, and can't get a job is strangely comforting.

Shouldn't Fisher have expected more from the guy who was actually employed on his staff?  If Pola never told him he was talking to SC, it seems weird to expect Kiffin to (and to then run to the media to complain about it if he didn't).

This just seems like an odd thing to gripe to the press about, especially considering Fisher is an SC alum who was thought to be a pretty strong candidate for the head coaching job there before quickly deciding to stay in the NFL.
