SI gives USC a D in their coaching hire.

In an attempt to replicate the Pete Carroll era, USC hired an immature 34-year-old who's gone 12-21 as a head coach. Football insiders seem to respect Kiffin, but it says something when the new coach's biggest calling card is the assistants (his father, defensive coordinator Monte, and defensive line coach/recruiting czar Ed Orgeron) that came with him. It feels desperate and shortsighted.

I'm not happy with the Kiffin hire. But a 12-21 head coaching record. Yikes. But then again, I thought Sanchez and Favre would implode each of their respective teams by now, but they're both in the final four.
