The Titans Are Pissed! – 90 Points

Don’t you dare steal a largely-unproven running backs coach from the Titans!  But if you do, you better at least make a courtesy call first.

Jeff Fisher ripped into Lane Kiffin over the weekend after the new USC coach managed to poach the Titans’ RB coach, Kennedy Pola.  It seems there’s a great deal of money for Pola and a walk-on roster spot for his son in the deal.  Problem is, his contract with the Titans states that he needs written permission before he can even entertain another job.  So Fisher is pissed.  And he must be really pissed, because now he’s suing his former college for maliciously interfering in a contract situation.  Yikes.

Anyone remember an NFL team ever suing a college team before?  Has this ever happened?  I don’t think it has.

I doubt it’ll go anywhere, but maybe it will.  Seems strange that the Titans would sue if they didn’t think they could win.  But since all this looks like an overblown way to take a stand on principle or prove a point, maybe they won’t win.  Maybe it’s just the symbolism of it all.

Either way, I figure an NFL team suing a college one is probably worth some points… 90 to be exact.

Oh, and Lane Kiffin is a weasel and a snake, with virtually no more head coaching success than I have.
