It says Kiffen talked to Mora before talking to Yarber.

Nothing to worry about. Let’s take it as a compliment and move on.

It's a good sign

and an even better sign that Yarber stayed. It won’t be the last time another conference opponent will try to poach our staff, especially Adrian Klemm…

But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.

Yeah

It doesn’t really bother me. I actually kind of like it.

Did I miss something here or is this completely off base?

“USC made a play for UCLA offensive coordinator Norm Chow when Kiffin was hired two years ago. Rick Neuheisel, in his first season as UCLA’s coach, wooed USC assistant Ken Norton.”

From what I remember...

Kiffin did not even want Chow and that Garrett was the one that urged him to try and add him to his staff. Then the media completely blew it out of proportion that Chow was hired when in fact it could not have been further from the truth.

As far as Norton goes I dont think I ever read anything stating that Neu officially got word to speak with Norton. All I remember was that Norton bad mouthed UCLA in the press at the urging of Carroll…

I think you're correct on both counts

Kiffin and Chow aren’t exactly chummy…

The Norton thing was more subtle. IIRC Neu let it be known that Norton would be welcomed back if he wanted, but the poodle was made to mouth off in the press to kill that. So there was no official talk or job offer, but the intent was there.

It should be noted that Kiffen backed off

after his dad told him that he was supposed to go after Yarber before signing day.

I hate Kiffin

I’m loving that Yarber decided to stay, further proof that Mora did his homework and brought in top flight staff.
