Kennedy Pola, new Titans RB coach, is leaving the Titans a week before training camp to be the offensive coordinator at USC.

Wow. Wow. Maybe it shouldn't anger me but when I read this headline my opinion of Pola dropped tremendously and my opinion of Kiffin stayed on the sewer floor where it already was. Fisher's response to Kiffin sniping off his assistant was a lot more respectful than I would have been, nevertheless, the mustache has deemed Kiffin unprofessional by his standards. What a couple of pieces of #$&@. This comes three weeks after the initial interest from USC was documented by the Tennessean here, http://blogs.tennessean.com/titans/2010/07/02/pola-not-looking-to-leave-titans/. Seeing as that Pola actually only met CJ once or twice this will have little affect on the Titans running game this year, but Pola might as well have released a statement saying "I never wish to return to a coaching position in the NFL."

The person to be mad at is Kiffin, not Pola.

Kiffin’s the one with the etiquette breach here, seeing as he never actually contacted Fisher about wanting to take away his RB coach. And also, Kiffin’s just so much more hateable. But seriously, I won’t begrudge Pola for pursuing a good opportunity.

This article expands and expounds on the situation somewhat: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Lane-Kiffin-angers-everyone-in-Tennessee-slight?urn=nfl-257961

"I never wish to return to a coaching position in the NFL"

OR, If he does well at USC, 31 NFL teams will offer him a job if they need a running back coach while one team won’t.

Unprofessional? Most likely.

NFL Career Ending? Not by a long shot.

Coach Fisher got what he deserved!!!!

Coach Fisher got what he deserved…. He screws over Ernest Byner to hire this guy and now Palo Booty warrior’s him. The classic case of what goes around comes around. Coach Fisher then plays an Obama administration spin job of blaming it all on George Bush err, Lane Kiffen to deflect from his screw job hire that bit him in the end.

Very Left Response!

As a Titan/ Volunteer Fan; it’s time for me to say something. This Sewage L.K. Piece of _ _ _ _, apparently has read a lot of hate mail. It appears he wishes to continue to blame the state of TN for how bad the media treated him. Like he didn’t deserve all of that bad press, AS HE LOVES BAD PRESS anyway.

This news about Pola is not Fisher’s fault as in today’s society, everything revolves around the dollar and we realize the Titan’s organization can only pay a specific amount for certain coaches.

I AM DISAPPOINTED IN JEFF BEING FROM USC, BY NOT PUBLICLY ATTACJUBG LK; but Jeff doesn’t like to be the news.

Yes all parties @ USC are unprofessional. I’m not surprised by either of their actions and now I want USC TO BURN ever more. I can’t wait to watch Colorado or Oregon vs USC. I hope that programs suffers to the BOTTOM Of the Pac 11 & has to regress to the WAC!
