i know this, as do intelligent sports fans. most like to focus on what is force fed to them, which was Kiffin has not done anything. except..

1) great assistant under Carroll
2) improvement at Oakland
3) improvement at Tennessee

with the latter 2 being very tough situations. dude is 36 years old; he's just fine.
