First, despite his flaws and mistakes, I really wish Davis would keep Kiffin. He and the team could grow together and appear to be headed in the right direction.

But if this has to happen…..part of me thinks it’d be better to wait until the bye week so the team isn’t thrown into complete disarray gameplanning for San Diego and the new coach has two weeks to take hold of the reins. On the other hand, maybe it’s better just to get it the hell done with so everyone can move on.

and the offensive guys gets fired and the D gets promoted?

Whatever this team has the makings of being good but constant change is never good. Plus WHO wants to come in and coach in a place like this.

Good luck Lane and Thanks for trying to do a job that wasn’t winnable.

For all of Kiffin’s faults, let’s not forget that he had the integrity (not a word associated with this organization) to protect his players concerninng their development. What he saw in practice led to his game time decisions regarding how exposed he would allow them to be. I liked what he was doing with both Russell and McFadden. Sure it was frustrating to watch these guys held up from the offensive possibilities they possess, but better that than allow Russell to turn in another Alex Smith. The Peyton Manning model of QB development was impressive. To bad we happen to be fans of an organization that spins out of control every 1-2 years. How could I ever get mad at Kiffin if he comes back here with another organization and stick it to us the way Shanahan has done over the last 13 years.

seems to be harping on Kiffin’s perceived conservative play calling. That play calling gave us the lead until the Defense fell apart in the 4th. Why, why, why doesn’t anyone yet see that on here? That the D lost the game?

Kiffin was diplomatic in his press conference after the game, saying the blame rests on everyone. And it does, kinda. There is logic, even if I don’t agree with it, to not calling a time out. He’s working on Russell’s pass, and it had some good points this week. I think keeping Kiffin is important, especially during the bye, to work on Russell’s pass.

I also think that Ryan blew that game on purpose, and if Kiffin get’s fired, I really think Davis told him to blow it so he can fire Kiffin.

I guess no news is good news.

"There’s no way I’m quitting, and that’s got nothing to do with money, at all," Kiffin said. "That has to do with our players. I talked a lot of these players into coming here at some point – obviously, money has a lot to do with that – in free agency over the last two years. A lot of our coaches, I recruited them and their families to come here and build this thing together. So the last thing I’m ever gonna do is quit, the way that you guys are talking about quitting or even quit behind closed doors, as far as my energy or my passion towards getting this thing turned around.

"Because I believe we can turn this thing around. And there’s a lot of good things going the right direction, and I think we’re gonna turn it around."

So can we please stop saying he quit on this team when it’s obvious he wants to win.

I would agree that Kiffin shoud have been a bit more agressive in the red zone. Russell can through and is smart.. but like someone said here Ryan throughs in the towel in every game we are winning. He sucks, he always puts in the prevent d WHY never let of play hard for 4 Q not three and he has done the same thing sense he has been here. If you where the head caoch and had no control over what your d coach did what would you do. Protect your young players
WSe need Al to DIE before we will se winning seasons again BECUASE he will always fire the head coach.
