At least the driver didn't get in the wrong Lane.

I hadn't heard the part about telling the bus to wait, but I had heard that he wasn't allowed on the bus or whatever- that he'd been called off the bus to get fired.
That guy has had the most perplexing career ever. It would've been wild enough that ONE team got duped into hiring him with such little experience (and for that matter, success). But three teams now have made that mistake, both at the NFL and NCAA level, including two of college football's most esteemed programs.

Anybody want to buy a house in Manhattan Beach, CA?
When the school hired Kiffin to be the coach of its football team in 2010, along with a salary in excess of $2 million it gave Kiffin a $500,000 loan, which he used toward the purchase of a $5.5 million mansion in pricey Manhattan Beach, according to TMZ. As part of the loan the school retained the right to demand repayment, plus interest, in the event of Kiffin's quitting or firing. And after the coach was terminated at an airport with the team bus running, that stipulation is now in play, the site has reported.
