Scott Wolf of the Daily News, a guy who has been incredibly plugged into the USC program, is reporting that he has two sources that are telling him that Lane Kiffin will be named USC’s next football coach.
(If this sounds like Ferris Bueller at 31 Flavors, don’t blame me...)
Kiffin’s name just vaulted to the head of the search -- a search that started today with Jack Del Rio, moved to Steve Mariucci, brought Herm Edwards into the story, and also had Steve Sarkisian’s name get bounced around.
Kiffin’s move to USC from Tennessee after just one season would be a seismic shift, and some Vols message boards are already having a nuclear meltdown.
