And though it might have been more
compassionate for AD Pat Haden to take Lane Kiffi n out for dinner
fi rst before dropping the ?Donald Trump? bomb on his head, most
of Trojan nation probably agree that Haden?s airport ambush was
more than Kiffi n deserved. Do the math: 7 losses in the last 11
games is UNACCEPTABLE at Southern Cal. Former Ole Miss boss Ed
Orgeron was named the interim head coach but we?ll be surprised
if he can staunch the fl ow of blood. In addition to the chaos of a
mid-season coaching change, the loss of superstar WR Marquis Lee
is crippling for a USC program that was already coming apart at
the seams. Orgeron ain?t no Pete Carroll ? he?s only 1-6-2 ATS as a
pick or favorite in his coaching career and a stomach-churning 0-7
SUATS in games in which his team sports a .400 or greater record.
Hey, even when better men strode the sidelines for the Trojans,
Arizona was still able to give them fi ts. The desert Cats are 7-1
ATS in the previous eight series meetings, 8-0 ATS as underdogs
and have covered four straight at the Coliseum. However, unlike
traditional Rich Rodriguez teams, this year?s Arizona squad can
play a little defense, holding three of their four foes to season-low
yards in 2013. Rich Rod, who is 8-1 SUATS away versus a winning
foe off a loss, has also had an extra week to goad his Wildcats
into action by making them watch fi lm from their 31-13 no-show
at Seattle. It?s our polarizing database, though, that once again
comes up with the deciding factor: since 2000, there have been
only THREE interim coaches that took over an FBS program for
a coach that was fi red before the end of September. Collectively
they are 5-18 SU overall, including 1-16 SU in games versus .300 or
greater opponents. Yikes! Yes, regardless of how temptingly low
the pointspread may appear, it?s imperative to avoid the Trojans in
this current stage of shell-shock.

He was not winless in his time at Ole Miss. He didn't win much, but he did win a few games.
