WRT the comment that a monkey could coach USC to an 8-4 season, Lane Kiffin coached the Trojans to 8-5 and 7-6 seasons sandwhiched around a 10-2 season, culminating with a 3-2 record his fourth year during which he was fired. The 35-21 28-15 record (winning percentage of 62.5%65.1%) is actually slightly worse than an 8-4 season average (winning percentage of 66.7%).
EDIT: Oops, I was actually quoting his all-time college head coaching record, which included a 7-6 season at Tennessee. But that doesn't change the conclusion that he failed to beat the mark that a monkey was posited to be able to reach.
