Lane Kiffin Fired on Team Plane

Yet another disappointing Lane Kiffin coaching job comes to an end...
By Joe Parello  @HerewegoJoe

I think most people had accepted than Lane Kiffin getting fired was just going to be one of those pleasant eventualities of the 2013 college football season.

Like Johnny Manziel acting out as soon as he came off his one-half suspension and Georgia losing one early, we pretty much knew this was going to happen.

But, we couldn't have imagined the humiliating way that USC would do it. Now, mind you, Athletic Director Pad Haden recently gave Kiffin the dreaded "vote of confidence," so you knew he was one bad loss away from being out the door. But, after a 21-point road thrashing at the hands of mediocre Arizona State, Kiffin didn't even make it back to campus with his job.

Your College Football Weekend Primer: Time for UF and ND to Wake Up

Gator coach Will Muschamp may have the best "anger face" in college football.
By Joe Parello  @HerewegoJoe

Look, a win is a win, and I'm just as guilty of saying "the U is back" as the next guy, but the Hurricanes didn't beat Florida two weekends ago. Florida beat Florida, as five turnovers and 10 penalties led to the Gators losing a game that saw them outgain the Canes by over 200 yards and possess the ball 17 minutes longer.

Luckily for the Gators, it seems like every time they need a wake up call, they get a bye, or they get to play Tennessee/Kentucky. Well, rest easy Gator fans, because after that ugly loss to Miami, your team gets a bye, followed by a home game against the Vols (A team that hasn't beaten Florida since 2004), and a trip to Lexington to play the Wildcats (A team that hasn't beaten Florida since the Cretaceous Period).

Weekend Football Roundup - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

There are already a few NCAA coaches on the hot seat. Lane Kiffin might be one of them.
By Jeremy Conlin (@jeremy_conlin) and Joe Parello (@HerewegoJoe)

Every Tuesday during football season, editors Jeremy and Joe will bring you the good, the bad and the ugly from the college and pro football weekend that was.

The Good

Peyton Manning

He threw for seven touchdowns and zero interceptions. That is all.

Chip Kelly, LeSean McCoy, Michael Vick, DeSean Jackson, Brent Celek, and Everything Else Involving Philadelphia's First Half Offense

After seeing one game, I think it's safe to say that Chip Kelly is the best coach in NFL History. Any objections? No? Okay good.
