Lane Kiffin

I'm sure none of you except Sol know who this guy is. His name is Lane Kiffin and he's the current head coach of the Raiders. At first I thought he looked creepy and Scott Peterson-esque, but I think he actually looks like more of a killer than Peterson. All fat faced white guys are starting to look the same to me anyway. P.S. check out this incredible update on Amburr.

The story of the day is that this guy sucks. He sucks so bad his team wants to fire him but instead of doing it directly, they're going to talk about how they're going to do it for a couple days before they really can him. Meanwhile his inability to coach well can be talked about endlessly, putting his future coaching prospects back into the collegiate realm.

Maybe he is a shitty coach, I wouldn't know cause I'm not an expert at football (see my soon to be 1-2 fantasy football record). It's just kind of sad that he has to listen to everyone criticize him while he waits to get fired. Getting fired is bad enough. I just don't understand firing a coach for having one shitty season either. Some teams are bound to have shitty records, because other teams are really good and routinely beat on them. Everyone has their day in the sun, except the Browns because God hates Cleveland sports.

Yeah, I never really understood it either. I mean I know that NFL fans and owners are about winning now, but I guess I always thought it was so myopic and small-minded not to consider the value of continuity (of personnel) in what's probably the ultimate team sport. Romeo Crennel didn't have much success in his first couple season with the Browns, possibly because he was trying to make Butch-Davis-drafted guys fit into his system. But he's one of the few who wasn't canned for not winning immediately and once he got guys more tailored for his coaching philosophy and got some guys he wanted, the Browns went 10-6. Although the Browns seem to suck again this year, so maybe he just got lucky.
