As a USC alum, Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher wouldn’t have minded so much if new USC head coach Lane Kiffin wanted to hire a Titans coach a week before training camp — he just expects a courtesy call. But Kiffin couldn’t even do that.  Fisher told the press that since he doesn’t known Kiffin well, he was “not going to pass judgment on his character.”  But Fisher would still rip into Kiffin pretty good:

I am very disappointed in Lane Kiffin’s approach to this. Typically speaking, when coaches are interested in hiring or discussing potential employment from coaches on respective staffs, there is a courtesy call made from the head coach or athletic director indicating there is an interest in talking to the assistant. So I am very disappointed in the lack of professionalism on behalf of Lane, to call me and leave me a voicemail after Kennedy had informed me he had taken the job. It is just a lack of professionalism. … I’ve always gotten a courtesy call from a head coach or athletic director in the past … I am surprised.

Every single season in the NFL all the draft prospects usually attend the NFL combine which puts lead the best young football athletes in the country through a series of tests to measure their skills on a series of levels, but perhaps the one test that gets the most attention is the 40 yard dash.

Unfortunately, the 40 yard dash time of certain athletes in this NFL combine can be devastating and really change their draft status in the upcoming NFL draft, but sometimes a complete opposite happens in the 40  time of a certain athlete can really catch the attention of NFL scouts and change the draft status for a certain player.

This time around that certain player might be USC safety Taylor Mays who was thought to have run an unbelievable 40 yard dash time of 4.24 seconds, which would’ve been the fastest time ever recorded at NFL combine since they started to keep track.

MMA fans, you have been vindicated. And I’m not talking about the hardcore fans that actually understand and appreciate the sport. I’m talking about the bottom feeders in the mixed martial arts fanbase, the ones that get all liquored up in their Tapout gear and boo everything short of a disembowelment that takes place in the cage. You’re no longer the most embarrassing fans in sports. That mantle has now been taken over by fans of the University of Tennessee football team, who figured Lane Kiffin’s move from Knoxville to Los Angeles was a good reason for a riot.  So much for the whole ‘Southern hospitality’ thing.  Sweet tea and BBQ has been replaced by angry mobs and burning mattresses.

There seems to have been a small riot outside the University of Tennessee football complex Tuesday night after Lane Kiffin resigned as Vols head coach to take the cushier USC job.

A dick move, but does it deserve a riotous response? I mean really, a SWAT team with tear gas? Fire trucks to extinguish burning mattresses? An unruly mob screaming ”%$&! you, Kiffin!” at the top of their lungs? Calm down guys, you’re starting to make Kiffin look like the classy one here.

But Volunteers fans do have a right to be pissed. They can’t seem to keep a coach around longer than one year recently. Players are just as upset, as linebacker LaMarcus Thompson explained to reporters after Kiffin’s impromptu press conference:
