Titans sue Kiffin

Post by mph » July 26th, 2010, 8:47 pm

So the Titans are suing USC and Lane Kiffin for poaching running back's coach Kennedy Pola a week before training camp starts. The Titans are alleging that "USC and Kiffin maliciously intended to -- and did -- induce Pola to breach the Pola contract."

I love this story on so many levels.

1. It's Kiffin. How could you not love the fact he's getting sued?

2. Fisher is a USC alum. Does he send a bigger check to the alumni association this year?

3. In the end this is a huge, yet ingenious, PR stunt by the Titans. You could probably count the number of Titans fans who aren't hardcore UT fans on one hand. You think the Titans fan base isn't enjoying the chance to publicly stick it to Kiffin? Lest there be any doubt:

"The lawsuit doesn't hold back in criticizing Kiffin for "furtherance of a culture of violation and avoidance of respect for the sanctity of contract, which Kiffin similarly practices ..." in inducing Pola to breach his contract.

The lawsuit notes Kiffin "abruptly departed" his coaching job at the University of Tennessee in January after just 14 months, which angered Volunteers' fans. Kiffin also lured four other Tennessee coaches to join him at Southern California, and the lawsuit also notes how Kiffin tried to hire Eric Bienemy away from NFL's Vikings, forcing Minnesota to redo his contract to keep the assistant."
