I am having trouble believing what I am reading about Lane Kiffin.
If what Al Davis said is true Lane Kiffin committed career suicide.
This guy has to know better his father is a long time defensive coordinator in the NFL.
Here are some of the bullet points made by the 79 year old Raiders owner.
Davis claims that Lane wanted to fire defensive coordinator Rob Ryan after last season. “I can’t win with this guy “ Kiffin said to Davis.
Davis also claimed that Kiffin was strongly against drafting quarterback JaMcarcus Russell. Kiffin thought Russell would have weight issues and not a strong work ethic.
Kiffin also wanted to take the Arkansas job that Bobby Petrino got.
It’s obvious to me that Lane Kiffin wanted to hire his father and Al Davis said no.
And that caused friction between him and Davis. The reason I have a hard time believing all of this is because he was raised by a father that was a coach in the league for a long time. And he worked with Pete Carroll at USC a class guy that would not have hired him if he was this immature.
