Monte Kiffin steps down at USC

[volnSC]

Of all the names floating around that JG has spoken with MK is not one of them.

 

[AJeray4TN]

I doubt the two are related. Don't think Gruden would hire Monte on his NFL staff

Especially if they would ever have to face Dexter Mccluster again.

haha...true

 

[VFLCodyGBO]

Uh...how do those 2 things relate?

Monte was grudes DC

 

[AJeray4TN]

Monte was grudes DC

Monte is 500 years old.

 

[AJeray4TN]

I'd rather have Methuselah as my DC.

Tampa Two baby!

 

[deckerkd]

I'm going with "no effect".

Just people stretching to find something of meaning out of nothing due to the lack of anything official from either camp through all this.

Nope. Kiffen had to fire his dad

 

[Boca Vol]

Monte and Gruden weren't exactly on the best of terms when their term in Tampa ended. No worries here.

 

[Slydell]

Monte was grudes DC

He is, also, Lane's DC. How's that going for USC?

 

[dyer_maker]

He didn't want to be fired so he left. Somebody has to take the blame for #1 to nothing.

That is one serious Gruden to UT smokescreen.

 

[howie87]

Monte is 500 years old.

He and Dick Lebeau are the same age... Seriously... They can still get it done...

 

[GaSouVOLS]

Just to further kill this (non)story...he's not leaving until after USC's bowl game.

 

[PennVol]

Monte wants to finally come back home!!

 

[Slydell]

Nebraska?

[508mikey]

Isnt he like 75 ? Who would want him ? retire and enjoy UT and USC millions

 

[GrudenDooley]

Never had a problem with Monte. Revolutionary coach in a post revolution world, that is all. He is and will be a legend.

LMFAO.....this is hilarious. See below.

Monte was grudes DC/savior/the reason Gruden has a SB ring

Fixed that for you.

Ya think?? Monte probably got sick and tired of his defense winning games that Grubage's offense lost for them.

Amen. :clapping::good!:

 

[Cartervol]

Monte is probably done...

 

[VolsFanRJ]

Monte resigned to save his son's butt. Their defense has been their problem this year and he knows if he doesn't step down so they can get it fixed, boy Kiffy will be on the chopping block next.

[PennVol]

Seriously can't wait to get my popcorn and watch Ed Orgeron take over this sinking ship of a defense and titanic it. This can only end with yaw-yaw and Lane getting in a fight on the field.

 

[captain chaos]

if tennessee lands gruden, in a twisted way they can thank lane kiffin....the bucs gave up over 30pts during that losing streak that led to grudens firing.



this from wikis monte kiffin page

Controversy has surrounded Kiffin's departure from Tampa Bay. After Lane Kiffin signed with Tennessee, Tampa's typically stout defense underperformed. The Bucs lost their final four games of the 2008 season, ending up 9–7, and missed the playoffs. Before this, no NFL team had ever missed the playoffs after achieving a record of 9–3. Reports stated that Gruden refused to allow Kiffin to announce his departure to Tennessee mid-season. Allegations were made that Kiffin refused to participate in normal coaching meetings. Neither Kiffin nor Jon Gruden have openly discussed these events
