That was the slogan of a very popular t-shirt among young USC football fans a couple of years ago. It was a preshrunk cotton middle finger to Trojan haters. It meant “Yeah, our coach is an arrogant prick, and we love it because we’re better than you.”
Those t-shirts disappeared as quickly as the “Mike Williams Is Gangsta” shirts did in 2003 (those are so obsolete you can’t even find a picture of one online anymore). The words “Lane F**king Kiffin, Bro” are now something that Trojans were muttering as they trudged half a mile through a muddy parking lot at the Rose Bowl on Saturday afternoon, shuddering at the sound of obnoxious 8-claps echoing through the raindrops.
The worst news was yet to come.
About 45 minutes after Matt Barkley was knocked out of the game (and possibly the season), Lane F**king Kiffin was telling reporters that he was coming back next season. Athletic Director Pat Haden then confirmed it shortly after.

VIDEO: Lane Kiffin, 11-20-12
USC Coach Lane Kiffin speaks with the media following Tuesday's practice as USC prepares for its regular season finale hosting top-ranked and undefeated Notre Dame.
It's hard to believe Kiffin will last at USC
When USC coach Lane Kiffin, asked about his job security following Saturday's 38-28 loss to UCLA, casually mentioned that university higher-ups told him he would be back next season, it was as if everyone in the room arched an eyebrow in unison.
Really?

I didn't want to get on it, but after yet another game...

According to Lane Kiffin, USC’s starting quarterback Matt Barkley won’t play against the Fighting Irish Saturday. Barkley suffered an injury in USC’s loss to UCLA this past Saturday, and it’s apparently a shoulder sprain. This is big, big news for top-ranked Notre Dame.
