For those of you that may not remember, or be familiar with Kiffen's firing, allow me to refresh your memory:

"[I]Kiffin was fired as USC's coach by athletic director Pat Haden following a 62-41 loss to Arizona State on Sept. 28, 2013.[/I] [I]Kiffin was fired following that ASU loss in the early morning hours after touching down at a private airport near LAX. The episode was famously reported as Haden axing Kiffin right there on the tarmac near the team plane. “I was a good 20 yards off the tarmac,” Kiffin said.

It was actually a private room near the team bus where Haden broke the news. Kiffin tried to talk his boss into being able to coach the rest of the season after a 3-2 start. Haden didn’t budge.

“I had no idea at all,” Kiffin said. “It totally caught me off guard. I got off the plane. I put my bag on the bus. I was going to sleep at the facility. Someone came and said, ‘Pat wants to see you.’ I left my briefcase on the bus.”  The next time he saw that briefcase, a staffer had delivered it to his house. Kiffin was driven home that night by a team security person".[/I]
