Thanks for bumping this.
I'm hoping the Saban / Kiffin experiment goes down in flames. Kiffin is involved, so probability of my schadenfreude is high.

Looks like USC is looking into it closer now.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Ex-USC player suing Kiffin, Trojans
With new coordinator Lane Kiffin on board, Alabama’s offense is off to a prolific and potentially historic start.
Thanks to Kiffin’s past, however, an issue has popped up that’ll serve as at least a minor inconvenience, if not an outright distraction.
Multiple media outlets reported late Monday night that Brian Baucham filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court Monday in which Kiffin and his former employer, USC, are named as defendants. The Los Angeles Times writes that the former Trojan football player claimed in the suit that Kiffin and the school “were negligent by forcing him to play in a game when he was ill and that they did not follow the school’s injury-plan guidelines, leaving Baucham with cardiopulmonary damage and brain injury.”
On September 22 of 2012, nearly a year to the day prior to Kiffin being fired as USC’s head coach, Baucham fell ill during a game against Cal and was taken from the stadium to a local hospital via ambulance. He remained in the intensive care unit on a ventilator for two days before being released a short time later. He never played another down of football.
The lawsuit also claims that USC medical personnel told the player he was in no condition to play, but that the coaching staff played him anyway. “USC and head coach Kiffin were clearly negligent and acted with conscious disregard for Brian’s welfare and safety by forcing him to play … despite his verified medical history and seriously ill condition,” one of Baucham’s lawyers, Bruce M. Brusavich, told the Associated Press.
The suit is seeking unspecified damages for the former cornerback, who just recently received his degree from the university.
Kiffin has declined to comment on the suit, while USC’s athletic director offered the Times a very generic statement.

Pressures within a team sport aside, whatever happened to Nancy Reagan's advice: Just Say No.

I do hope that Michigan goes to the Alabama well again and "steals" Kiffin as their next HC. That's the best case scenario for a replacement for Hoke.

hahaha omg. That was gold, and I wouldn't mind staring at that blond in the red dress all day. First thing I laughed at was the trophy case with the lone tiny football they cheerleaders throw out at HS games thankfully they had a caller comment on it. Nice to get an Urban Meyer name drop in there as well!
