I won't pretend that it's an easy decision for Lane Kiffin. When he says he's struggled with it, I believe him. The part of the process driving me up the wall is the amount of people pretending that Kiffin is a victim in this situation. He's currently suffering the consequences of his own actions, nobody else's. Every year coaches are presented with opportunities to leave or stay. Nobody else has dragged it out this way. Nobody else has considered leaving his team in the middle of a playoff run. It's a unique situation, not a fundamental flaw in the sport.
