I can't read articles by that jowly BYU sycophant.
This article is a different take, condemning him.

It actually made me sympathize with Kiffin. Fans are always the first to call for a coach's head, earlier than is warranted, and most of them tackle their own jobs with a lot less integrity than the coach they are condemning. Players cut and run to the pros. AD's cow tow to fans and boosters. Coaches get no loyalty when the going gets tough. That's okay; it's also okay when they leave for better jobs.
In any event, no one should have to stay in a job as an act of charity. If Kiffin felt this was his chance to make it, he did the right thing for himself and the cosmos. This is why they have buy outs in contracts. He hasn't breached any contract, committed any torts, nor comitted any crimes. Sometimes people need to make violent life changes that on the surface appear selfish and lacking integrity, when really they are taking a road of greater integrity vis-a-vis themselves and a new community.
