Alternative theory

And it's just a theory: Haden told Kiffin Pola would be a good OC candidate, but wrongly assumed Kiffin would go through the proper channels, or negligently failed to ensure Kiffin would do so. Hypothetical conversation:

KIFFIN: "Pat, great news! We hired Pola!"

HADEN: "Yeah, Lane, I know. I've read all about how you've pissed off Jeff Fisher. What the f**k?"

KIFFIN: "I thought you told me to hire Pola?"

HADEN: "Yeah, but not that way, you f**king imbecile!"

Of course, it's just a thought. Greg, you could be entirely right. I haven't forgotten that Haden was at USC when Marv Goux was in the midst of funneling ticket profits to Haden's teammates (and theoretically Haden himself).
