I, for one, am not at all sorry to have seen Kiffin hit the road. Outwardly, I was optimistically hoping for the best from Kiffin last season - sort of hoping for a re-lit fire - after the off-season near-termination and coaching offer snubs but, in the back of my mind, I was worried and perhaps a bit disappointed that he was conning back.
As much of an offensive genius as he is - and he really is - and as good of a play-caller as he can be, his arrogance and, I believe, his insecurities keep him from coming close to realizing his true potential.
It seems to me that whenever he's on the sideline he is constantly, desperately trying to prove - to the world and to himself - just how much of an offensive genius he is.
As a result, he takes a few too many risks and is far too quick to abandon what is working in an apparent attempt to preemptively counter the adjustments the opposing defensive coaches might make before they actually make them.
