Man, there is this guy in America, "Lane" "Kiffin." This guy is as much a narcissist as Premier Trump. Has diarrhea of the mouth just as bad. Is as big an asshole. Owes his career just as much to daddy. The damage he can do is limited because he works in the toy department of life.

Kiffin became the youngest National Concussion League head coach ever and then got fired in his second season. He then took over as head coach at the University of Tennessee and started running his mouth before he coached a game. He stayed at Tennessee like a year and then bolted to become head coach at the University of Southern California. Got fired on the tarmac of the airport after his team returned from a loss at that gig.

Became offensive coordinator at Alabama. Head coach: the Greatest Coach in the Whole History of the Earth, Nick Saban. Saban is a stickler. Kiffin drove Saban to distraction; Saban "ass-chewed" Kiffin more than once on the sidelines in full view of the whole earth. Still spoke highly of Kiffin, though: said he absolutely was ready to be a head coach (again). And a couple weeks ago Kiffin got another head coaching job, albeit at the 'Bama of Boca, Florida Atlantic University. Kiffin decided the decent thing to do would be to stay on with Saban and prepare the team for the national championship playoff before assuming his duties full-time at FAU.

And it was the decent, responsible thing to do, or it would have been if Kiffin had done it properly. But, Kiffin being Kiffin, he was an asshole about it. He didn't call a great game for 'Bama in the Peach Bowl; he interviewed assistants for FAU jobs during prep weeks at Alabama; he was late to team meetings, missed the team bus, was "checked out" generally and gave an interview in which he described life under Saban as so miserable every year seemed like a "dog year," worth seven human years.

Now, excuse me you little bitch, your reputation deservedly was in tatters when Saban offered you the coordinator position, he gave you the chance to rehab at the Harvard of scholarly tackle football and you took it. In addition to taking chunks out of your hide Saban also never bad-mouthed you, in fact, did the opposite. It is testament to what a complete asshole you are that no more prominent school than lowly FAU wanted anything to do with you, but it is a head coaching gig and you took it. And then irresponsibly checked out of 'Bama during a crucial time. What-An-Asshole.

Saban fired him. Just, "Get the fuck away from me." Saban now has to prepare his team for the national championship game with a new offensive coordinator. NOT what Saban would want to do if he had his druthers. But he didn't have his druthers, he had Kiffin.
