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. Oh, someone claiming to be from USC did call Dungy and a member of the Denver Broncos coaching staff. Whoever it was just wasn't actual...

Lane Kiffin Was Fired In The Most Cold-Blooded Way
After last night's 62-41 loss to Arizona State, USC head coach Lane Kiffin was unceremoniously dumped like a bag of trash at the airport by athletic director Pat Haden. Judging from the details, he never saw it coming, and needed a ride home from LAX....
USC Fires Lane Kiffin
He went 28-15 in three seasons and change, with the last of the losses coming yesterday, a 62-41 trash fire against Arizona State. You could see this move coming from the last tree in Siskiyou County. We said as much in our assessment of Kiffin earlier this month. Read it below....
Has Any Coach Ever Done Less With More Than Lane Kiffin?
Watch enough football for long enough, and eventually you'll see everything. I believe this: In this calendar year alone we've seen a one-point safety, a Heisman finalist cop to having an imaginary girlfriend, and a 300-pound left tackle score on a hook-and-lateral, among other improbable feats. And...
Reports: USC Players Had A Locker-Room Brawl Over Matt Barkley's Honor
USC came into the Sun Bowl with a disappointing record—and without senior QB Matt Barkley. Barkley had missed the regular-season finale with a separated and sprained right shoulder, and was ruled out by the team's medical staff. The Trojans lost 21-7, and after the game, according to multiple report...
"Tim Tebow Is Gay," And Other Tips From 2012 We Didn't Follow Up On: The Year In Deadspin Deleted Scenes
A lot of our stories begin as tips from readers. (Have any? Send 'em here!) Sometimes, these tips don't pan out for one reason or another. Here are a bunch of emails we got in 2012 that never turned into stories, either because we couldn't confirm them or because they were so utterly ridiculous we d...
USC Was Way Late For The Sun Bowl Dinner, So Georgia Tech Got Pissed And Left
You think USC is excited to be spending New Year's Eve in El Paso, Texas, playing Georgia Tech in the Sun Bowl? Oh, sure, Lane Kiffin might have arrived yesterday wearing a sombrero and something less than a smile, but two Trojans players have already apologized for insulting the city, and now the e...

Why Does Everyone Care Which Exit Lane Kiffin Used When He Left The Visitor's Locker Room Last Night?
Yesterday afternoon's much-hyped grudge match between USC and UCLA went in the Bruins' favor immediately, and for good; the score was 24-0 midway through the second quarter, and, despite a spirited comeback to bring the Trojans within three, UCLA won by 10. The Bruins have the better record in the P...
Your College Football Open Thread, For Talking About Basically Anything But College Football
Is this the worst week of college football in the entire season? Emphatically yes, it is the worst. During football's penultimate week, many ranked teams are playing FCS opponents from around the neighborhood—South Carolina plays Wofford, Texas A&M plays Sam Houston State, Georgia won't even go beyo...

If Only For A Moment, Lane Kiffin Was Panicked
While USC cruised to a 38-28 win over Utah in Salt Lake City last night—scoring 28 unanswered points along the way—things did not start out smoothly for the Trojans. Back-to-back turnovers on the first two drives set the Utes up for easy scores, and Utah jumped out to a 14-0 lead before a rowdy, if...

Lane Kiffin Somehow Has Too Much Integrity For The Coaches' Poll
Earlier this month, the results of the first Coaches' Poll were released. No surprises—LSU first, Alabama second, USC third. In the preseason, the poll is useless except as a talking point, and anonymous unless a coach wants to volunteer that information. Arizona's Rich Rodriguez didn't mind, admitt...
Lane Kiffin Just Can't Wait To Steal Penn State's Star Running Back
It's practically open season on Penn State's football roster, as far as other Division I coaches are concerned. As part of Monday's sanctions handed down by the NCAA, any current Penn State player can transfer without penalty, and so long as another team has a scholarship opening, then all that's ne...
