Wow...

No one saw this coming. Looking back, someone should have connected the dots. Southern Cal loses cool Coach Pete. Who the hell could ever fill that guy's shoes?!?

Lane Kiffin, of course.

Kiffin does things differently than everyone else. He's a new breed of college coach. He Twitters. He Facebooks. His wife is gorgeous. His motto is, If you ain't almost cheating, then you ain't working hard enough.

Why send an old man to recruit a high school stud when you can send two smoking hot college girls?!?

Kiffin is the perfect guy to replace Coach Pete.

So it's good bye Tennessee and hello Southern Cal. So long, Southern Belles and BBQ. Hello, Crips and Bloods.

He is already getting face-kicked all over the place by the media. Some have questioned his actual coaching credentials (5-15 with the Oakland Raiders and 7-7 at Tennessee). Everyone is calling him a whore because he was in Knoxville barely a year.

But ask yourself this: Where would you rather coach? In the SEC with the likes of Florida and Alabama, as well as about 20 other schools with top notch facilities? Or USC, where you turn down more 4 star recruits than most teams actually sign? Who scares you in the Pac 10? Oregon? Some years, yes. Beyond that? With all due respect to the Arizonas and Stanfords of the world -- there's not much to keep you awake at night.

Unless the NCAA Feds swoop into town and actually kick the sheeeet out of the program, Kiffin will keep Coach Pete's dynasty up and running with no problems at all. He's got Dad to run the D. (And Pops will be the smartest guy in the Pac 10). He's bringing Ed Orgeron, widely hailed as the top recruiter in the land, along with him. And there are even rumors that he is hoping to get Norm Chow back back from UCLA.

If that happens -- anyone not named Florida, Alabama and Texas is screwed. Dad will coach the D. Chow will murder foes with his X's & O's.

And what will Lane Kiffin do? He'll take his cool and hip self, along with his trophy wife Layla, and he will recruit like a MOFO.

Southern Cal won't even miss a beat.
