HOW THEY TELL IF RECRUITS WANT TO BE AT USC OR NOT

"I watched it over the weekend, just to see if it's the same, and it's really still the same," he said. "I guess we waste time continuing to recruit them. We know within the first 10 minutes whether they're the type of guys that want to play here or there." --

Lane Kiffin, LA Times. 

 RECRUIT NOT NAMED walks into the football offices at Heritage Hall. LANE KIFFIN enters, eating the butt end of a sandwich. He throws the wrapper on the tile floor without looking.

Kiffin: Hey, numbnuts. You want to be a part of this? 

Recruit: I'm sorry, my name is--

Kiffin: You don't get a name until you take your shirt off. Tell him, Ed. 

ED ORGERON bursts through the floor and leaps into the picture covered in plaster and some kind of blood. 

Orgeron: NOWTAKEAHYA SHIRTOFFAH SON!

Star-divide

The recruit takes off his shirt. Lane Kiffin picks up a Diet Coke from a desk, finishes it, and drops it on the floor without looking. 

Orgeron: NOWTAKEAYAH PANTSOFFAH SON! 

Recruit: Um, I..why do i have to take my pants off? 

Orgeron: BECAWZA WILDBOYZAH DONNA WEARNAW PANTSAHBOY! 

Kiffin: You heard him. Take your pants off and show us your wild boy. 

Lane Kiffin stares. He picks up a huge turkey leg, takes one bite out of it, and drops it on the floor. it leaves a smear of grease on the side of his cheek. He does not wipe it off. 

Recruit: Are we going to go on a tour or something, because--

Orgeron: NOWYATAKEOFFA DAMANPANTEEZ. 

The recruit stares at the secretaries and coaches milling through the offices. 

Recruit: I don't have anything on underneath this. 

Lane Kiffin: We need to know you're committed. We need to know you're ready to walk in here naked and ready to be reborn. If you're ready to be a Trojan, you'll walk through that door with nothing on but your pride, son. 

Kiffin removes a Red Bull from a drawer, drinks half, and then tosses it over his shoulder. 

Secretary: Goddammit! That wasn't even empty. 

Kiffin: I DON'T HEAR FURNITURE. Drop 'em, slapnuts. Let's see if you're ready. 

Recruit: Okay. I'll do it. 

He takes off his underwear and stands naked in the office in front of no fewer than 20 people. 

Kiffin: Sucker! 

Orgeron: HOHOHOHOOHHOOHOHOHBOY! 

He and Orgeron grab the recruits clothes and start running toward their offices. Security guards take the young man and throw him out of the doors and into the campus in broad daylight. They watch him peeking through the blinds. 

Kiffin: What's he doing? Is he running, or is he strutting? 

Orgeron: DAT BOY ISSA RUNNINFORAH DAHILLS. 

Kiffin: He can go to UCLA, then. A Lane Kiffin man has no time for shame. 

Orgeron: DASSARIGHT. 

Kiffin: Maualuga was walking around asking for girls' numbers, for Pete's sakes. 

Orgeron: CONFIDENCEISSA MOSTIMPORTANTAH CLOTHINITELLYA.

Lane Kiffin sniffs at a hot pizza on his desk, picks it up, licks it once, and drops it on the floor cheese-side down. 

Kiffin: CLEANUP ON AISLE BIG BALLS! I'd do it myself, but I'm allergic to work losers do. 

He walks out of the office.

Maybe...

the recruit got a moral victory out of this encounter.

What the SEC already knows: Lane Kiffin isn’t the name of a coach, it’s a punchline.

One question for orson...

Are we going to receive a visit anytime soon from the Ghost of Road House Patrick Swayze on what has transpired the past few months? WE NEED TO KNOW THIS!

I still can't believe we get to face these clowns every year now.

So if I'm interpreting this allegory correctly...

the Raiders are the Diet Coke…Tennessee is the turkey leg…and that slice of pizza is Seantrel Henderson.

Kiffin never finishes what he started, I get it, I feel so clever just for getting it!

I'll bet

Lane Kiffin acts a lot like how you described him in your post…

by ALGator on Feb 4, 2010 1:36 PM EST reply actions  

Had the recruit passed the test

Kiffin would have just pointed him to the giant novelty check leaning against the wall, rather than presenting it formally.

Yap about checks

supplied inspiration for the creation of Archer? I fully expected Coach O to go diving on the floor after that half spent Red Bull. Oh yeah, new Archer tonight!

Orgeron-Related

From the Si.com article on Seantrel Henderson’s recruitment:

Enthusiastic wooing came from ace USC recruiter Ed Orgeron as well. Henderson, who saw The Blind Side with his girlfriend on Thanksgiving and has been compared to the movie’s star, Michael Oher of the Baltimore Ravens, for his size and backstory, recognized Orgeron’s distinct Cajun voice from the movie. Orgeron had landed Oher while head coach at Ole Miss.

“He’s gonna kill me for saying this, but he was telling me about being on the set of The Blind Side and how hot Sandra Bullock was,” Henderson said. “When she hugged him at the end of the shoot, he said he just held onto her.”

by Boy Howdy on Feb 4, 2010 2:19 PM EST reply actions

Lane Kiffin was not happy...

… to find out recruiting in NCAA football isn’t like recruiting in NCAA Football 10. His program tradition rating is totally A-, though.

by Joey C. on Feb 4, 2010 4:34 PM EST reply actions  

Why wouldn’t Kiffiin be happy with recruiting when he pulled in the top class in the country according to Rivals?

And he’s done well at recruiting at USC before and at UT, so your comment makes zero sense.

Which is high comedy coming from an Bammer. I was talking about SC and pending sanctions with some colleagues who are LSU alums, and their considered opinion was that if Alabama’s never had the death penalty, SC sure as hell isn’t going to get it either.

Mind you, at least one of them actually tried the “we just weren’t opening the playbook to avoid giving anything away in conference” story to explain the close call against Washington last season, so it’s unclear how adept they are at predicting the future.
