Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher took a shot at the head coach of his alma mater, Lane Kiffin, over USC’s hiring of Kennedy Pola away from Tennessee. Pola, who was hired as the Titans running backs coach in 2009, will serve as offensive coordinator on Kiffin’s staff. Fisher says the way Lane went about the process is bush league.
“I am very disappointed in Lane Kiffin’s approach to this,’’ Fisher said. “Typically speaking when coaches are interested in hiring or discussing potential employment from coaches on respective staffs there is a courtesy call made from the head coach or athletic director indicating there is an interest in talking to the assistant.
“So I am very disappointed in the lack of professionalism on behalf of Lane, to call me and leave me a voice mail after Kennedy had informed me he had taken the job. It is just a lack of professionalism.’’

Weak? Yes. Unprofessional? Hell yes. Will Lane Kiffin change after being called out by Jeff Fisher? Not a chance in hell. Kiffin doesn’t feel right if he’s not involved in a controversy. Some people use coffee to get themselves going in the morning, Kiffin prefers angering people to kick start his day.

Kiffin, what a clown. I wish Auburn played USC this year, we would spank that clown.
