USC fired head football coach Lane Kiffin in the early hours of Sunday morning, after the Trojans dropped their seventh game out of the last 11. As Kiffin and the team flew back to Los Angeles from Arizona, Kiffin was informed by athletic director Pat Haden that his services were no longer required. USC posted a release disclosing the news on its website, and a press conference will take place Sunday afternoon.

According to Scott Wolf of the L.A. Daily News, Kiffin wasn’t allowed on the team bus that shuttled players from the airport back to campus.
