Alumni Outrage gets Kiffin Canned.

You're a college student in sunny Los Angeles. You play football at one of the most prominent universities in the country. You are royalty on campus, never have a dry spell with ladies, and are backed by one of the most powerful alumni associations in college football.

You fly to Tempe, Arizona. It is hot, dry, and no entertainment for miles. You have to play football in 100 degree heat at a nearly condemned stadium that is a strong wind away from tumbling down. You get your ass handed to you on national television. The ass-whooping is followed by a lonely quiet plane ride back to LAX, the most organized and least stressful airport on the planet. This is followed by a lonely charter bus ride back to your beat up dark campus.

You notice something missing. Your head coach and leader is nowhere to be found. Ordinarily this would be unsettling. The man who you have busted your ass for and trusted your college education in is gone forever and you will likely never speak to or see him again. But at USC it may be a different story.

Numerous media reports indicate that USC football coach Lane Kiffin was a bad presence on campus. Players were unhappy, alumni were restless, and student energy was low. It takes a certain kind of guy to get fired in September. It rarely happens and Kiffin is a firing magnet.

Petros Papadakis said on NBC show "The Challenge" Sunday night, "It is rare to see coaches fired in September. With Lane Kiffin it has happened twice. In 2008 with the Oakland Raiders and 2013 with USC. That to me is very telling of the kind of guy he is."

Papadakis is one of the few qualified to talk about this. He went through two coach firings during his four years at USC. USC alumni are passionate, blood thirsty people who often accuse Papadakis, a college football analyst, of not being partial enough to USC. Professionalism and impartiality are overrated anyway.

Papadakis has been a critic of Kiffin since day one. He felt his resume was not impressive enough to land such a prominent job. Kiffin coached the Raiders in 2007. He was the youngest head coach in the history of the NFL and led the Raiders to a dismal 4-12 record. He was fired after just one season and was hired to coach the Tennessee Volunteers. After recruiting scandals and a mediocre season, be bailed to coach at USC. Kiffin had a 28-15 record at USC which is fine unless you're the biggest college football program in the west coast with more booster money than some SEC schools.

The pressure to succeed at USC is a blessing and a curse. It is great because there is constant money flow. Coaches are drawn to schools with money because they have great facilities and perks. It is also a curse because some coaches do not want the pressure of coaching at a school where the alumni controls the program. Another drawback is the loud crazy college football atmosphere is absent at USC. Instead of being full of rowdy students, USC's stands are full of old alumni who sit on their hands and don't make a sound.
