Still, it’s hard to see Folt embracing a Kiffin redux, given the attention/controversy that often follows him and her focus on cleaning up USC’s reputation since her arrival in 2019. The 46-year-old has grown significantly as a coach since his first go-round at USC, and remains one of the game’s top playcallers and recruiters. Kiffin would need to deliver a big season at Ole Miss, which seems increasingly possible with one of the nation’s most exciting offenses and quarterbacks (Matt Corral, a California native). “A return to Troy would be absolutely wild, but it would also be emblematic of Kiffin’s coaching career. Out of the blue, ESPN insider Adam Rittenberg has Lane Kiffin listed as a wild card for the USC job. The usual names have popped up across the national media as replacements for Helton, and this is a hire they absolutely have to crush before things get worse in Southern California. Now, the USC Trojans have ended the Clay Helton experiment and are searching for a head coach. He was let go, then went to Alabama as offensive coordinator, and has had a wild journey in the profession until becoming the head coach at Ole Miss, where he seems to be settling down and growing as a coach. Less than a decade ago, Lane Kiffin was running the show for the USC Trojans. USC has its first really stupid and absurd coaching carousel plot twist. These dramas can become very soap-operatic and silly. Auburn’s coaching search which put Bryan Harsin in the seat of power was a mess.
The University of Tennessee had a crazy coaching search when Butch Jones was fired and replaced a few years ago.
If you follow national college football, not just the Pac-12, you know how ridiculous and stupid coaching carousel stories can become.
