Impostors Posing As USC Reps Reach Out To Potential Football Coaches
So you know those reports that say USC has reached out to Tony Dungy and (possibly) Jack Del Rio to replace Lane Kiffin? Yeah, well, those overtures never happened.

Lane Kiffin Was Fired In The Most Cold-Blooded Way

Has Any Coach Ever Done Less With More Than Lane Kiffin?
Watch enough football for long enough, and eventually you'll see everything.
