Bad hire: USC is under the NCAA cloud, and Kiffin has caused TN to come under NCAA scrutiny. Hiring a coach with a record of disregarding NCAA rules is not generally a good thing when you are facing the hammer. Plus Kiffin has never proven himself to be a successful coach.
Good hire: He's got his dad as DC. And he is very good. He has Norm Chow as his OC. He is very good. It's hard to imagine that they won't be able to recruit and play well, esp. when USC is the only game in town on the West Coast.
