    Typical Internet insider bullshit. The magic of Trojan football in the eyes of southern California recruits still lives as it always will while SC's program takes a plunge that can only be predictable given the NCAA Inquisition's severe racking. Those 2014 and 2015 recruits standing on the sidelines while SC suffered an embarrassment almost as bad as our 4th quarter collapse in last season's app(forget about that)...... thinking "I can come here and realize my Trojan glory-dream early without waiting in line". The only ones putting Kiffen on a hot seat are those idiot pollsters who decided SC should be No.1 at the start of 2012.

    The way USC is playing doesn't have to do with the scholarship reductions. If depth was the issue, this team would fade later in the season and at the end of games. This team put up 7 points at home to arguably the worse team in the conference. No excuse. Despite scholarship limitations, USC still has more 4 and 5 star players on the field than WSU has had in the last 2 decades combined. Kiffin is rightfully on the hot seat, however USC's problem is easier fixed than Texas. At least the penalty has an end and Kiffin doesn't have a strangle hold on the program. Texas on the other hand needs to change coaching staffs, but Mack is so entrenched at Texas, it's going to be hard to do what needs to be done.

    Completely irrelevant. The minute they hire a replacement and he sweet talks these very same kids, they'll all be on board again. They could hire Ty and Gilby as co-HCs and kids will still be lining up to go to SC.

    I'm sure you're right, but the NCAA racking also put the myth to SC's high ranking in 2012's preseason AP poll.

    If you thin Kiffin is not on the hot seat, then you are the idiot.
