Lane Kiffin Will Return to USC in 2013

USC was blasted by UCLA on Saturday, which started the rumor mill and conversation regarding Lane Kiffin’s status as head coach for the future with the Trojans. ESPN Los Angeles is reporting that Kiffin was told he’d absolutely be back as head coach in 2013, regardless of the outcome against the Bruins, according to athletic director Pat Haden. “Absolutely,” Haden said in the message. The 7-4 Trojans started the season ranked No. 1, but have already lost three of games this month. Kiffin took the brunt of the blame for the disastrous season. “Obviously, we’re extremely disappointed in the season. We’re too talented to have this many losses, and that falls on me,” Kiffin said. I’m not sure you can remove Kiffin, esepcially with the Trojans still dealing with loss of scholarships from the sanctions levied because of Reggie Bush. Kiffin has one more season, in my opinion, to get the defense corrected. He should benefit from tempered expectations for next season. The post Lane Kiffin Will Return to USC in 2013 appeared first on FootBasket.
