USC is by far the better job and was a school he spent more time coaching at than UT<br /><br />Also, when is the right time for a coach to take a better job? Obviously coaches shouldn't pull a Brain Kelly or a Rich Rodriguez and take the job before their former team plays in a BCS bowl game. But after the bowl games are played and well before National Signing Day and the start of next season is also considered a bad time as well? <br /><br />http://gameofinches.blogspot.com/2010/01/lane-kiffin-did-nothing-wrong.htmlAdam Kaplanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04536112782512101012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19079811.post-49333512208149138312010-01-15T00:51:25.965-05:002010-01-15T00:51:25.965-05:00There is certainly not the 30 years/gold watch sta...There is certainly not the 30 years/gold watch standard in any business today. Certainly not the world of sports. The athlete who is with one team their entire career is certainly the exception and not the rule. I can think of very few. The world of coaching is no exception, but then again...think about it coaches/team managers get fired with regularity, sometimes they deserve it, sometimes they are just the scapegoat. Maybe some feel it is harder to hit a moving target.<br /><br />PS, funny comment about picking Seton Hall because it had a Nathan's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19079811.post-74318218553127092042010-01-14T18:51:47.901-05:002010-01-14T18:51:47.901-05:00Saban has found a home at Alabama and will be ther...Saban has found a home at Alabama and will be there for a long time.
