05:33 PM ET 11.21 | USC fans have been calling for defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin's job after the Trojans fell apart against Arizona and Oregon before losing to UCLA. Kiffin happens to be the father of the head coach, making for an awkward Thanksgiving, to say the least. Athletic director Pat Haden says he'll make recommendations for the USC coaching staff, but won't force Lane Kiffin into making a change.

Fire Monte, and hire a full time OC Lane. It might be your best hope for future employment at SC.

Thanksgiving would have been real interesting in the Kiffin Household if it had been otherwise.
12-0 deal with it…

Monte should resign. Don't make your kid take the heat. The defense has been terrible. Own up and stop being a distraction.

Would those recommendations include a HC choice of Haden's choosing?

Nope. I think Lane deserves one more year for guiding us into sanctions and still pulling terrific classes. JMHO.

+1 on that. Don't make your kid choose between family loyalty and keeping his job.

Haden: "Lane, it's your call".
Haden, to himself: "And if you don't get it right then it makes my decision easier".

This year did not go the way it should have, but disaster??? 14 games over .500, I don't think qualifies as a "disaster".

I agree. Not quiiiiite a disaster, but...
When you enter the season as the #1 team, have the clear Heisman front-runner under center, and a bevy of 4-5 star recruits...You damn well need to do better than 5 losses, and the Trogans will finish with at least that many. Monte Kiffin isn't the only coach at U$C who needs to go.
