I Keep seeing headlines for USC fires coach, but it's always the wrong coach. How many are left before Kiffin?

"Yeah, I've thought about it long and hard," Barkley says as he picks disinterestedly at his Cobb salad. "I learned how to handle adversity last season, and maybe I could have done a few things differently. I could've had a bigger voice, given more input and taken it to the next level pretty much as the owner of the company might not just letting things happen.
"You put faith in your coaches, but when you see trends, things not happening the right way, and when the team rests on your shoulders, it's almost like you have to step up. You can't just let these things go by and watch them disintegrate in front of you. You've got to put the glue in somewhere. Looking back, I wish I'd been more forceful."
"Kiff kind of suited the play-calling toward Marqise," Barkley says. "It was rough at times, because defenses kinda knew what was coming. It was sort of predictive. Robert Woods is a great player. You want to be respectful of your coaches, because they are your elders, but when it falls on your shoulders, you probably should get involved."

Barkley?s comments on USC leadership don?t speak well for Kiffin
Posted by Michael David Smith on April 22, 2013, 11:16 AM EDT
APFormer USC quarterback Matt Barkley says he?s willing to put the blame on his own shoulders for the Trojans? disappointing 2012, when they entered the season ranked No. 1 and ended the season unranked. But while accepting that blame, Barkley has made comments that don?t speak highly for USC coach Lane Kiffin, the former Raiders head coach who?s heading into his fourth season leading the Trojans.
Barkley said in an interview with Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports that he wished he would have been a better leader last year. Which raises the question of whether there was a leadership void at the top of the USC program.
?I learned how to handle adversity last season, and maybe I could have done a few things differently. I could?ve had a bigger voice, given more input and taken it to the next level ? pretty much as the owner of the company might . . . not just letting things happen. You put faith in your coaches, but when you see trends, things not happening the right way, and when the team rests on your shoulders, it?s almost like you have to step up. You can?t just let these things go by and watch them disintegrate in front of you. You?ve got to put the glue in somewhere. Looking back, I wish I?d been more forceful.?

Pretty comical considering Kiffy supported Barkley just a month or two ago when there was talk that his draft stock was slipping, now Barkley is throwing him under the bus just days before the draft.

with millions of dollars on the line, I don't think it would be hard to through that giant douche under the bus for a week.
