Kiffin was sacked as USC’s head coach five games into the 2013 season after a loss at Arizona State.
He knew before it even happened.
Kiffin did a good job helping Coker get his confidence back in the second half, though he did have some help from Clemson’s defense. “First, I get fired on the tarmac, and now I get left behind at the national championship”.
There was no need to worry about Kiffin’s plight, however. It seems that Kiffen eventually found a ride home, tweeting a picture from aboard a bus early Tuesday morning.
Assuming Nick Saban and his staff stick around Alabama for 2016, Kiffin will face his old team in a season opener which is sure to produce plenty of juicy story lines. Saban didn’t mind the company of his offensive coordinator.
So there you have it. Next time you have anxiety about meeting a potential boss, client or partner, just channel your inner Lane Kiffin when you enter the room – business will be booming as you win more and celebrate success.
Kiffin was integral in Alabama’s come-from-behind win. Howard entered the game with 394 yards receiving in Alabama’s 14 previous games.
