USC Trojans head football coach Lane Kiffin continues to piss off most everyone in Tennessee. Kiffin caused an uproar in the state earlier this year when he left the Tennessee Volunteers after just one season to replace Pete Carroll as the head coach at USC.
Now he has irked Tennessee Titans long-time head coach Jeff Fisher, who is a Southern California alumn, by not asking for permission talk to Titans running back coach Kennedy Pola before hiring him away to be his offensive coordinator.
Here is what Fisher said to The Tennessean on Saturday:
Fisher told The Tennessean on Saturday. “Typically speaking, when coaches are interested in hiring or discussing potential employment from coaches on respective staffs there is a courtesy call made from the head coach or athletic director indicating there is an interest in talking to the assistant.
“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.”
Kiffin continues to show his true colors and lack off class. Many football fans hinted that it was karma that the NCAA hit the USC football program so hard for Reggie Bush’s family taking money from an agent.
UPDATE: Titans File Lawsuit Against Lane Kiffin, USC
