I think it's a good hire, especially since we have a first year coordinator.  Kiffin can at least tell Wash if he's totally overlooking something.   Remember last year when Gus expressed bafflement at why we couldn't stop anybody?   At least Kiffin, with his decades of experience, can tell us the answer.  Something like "You have to get a new defensive backfield coach.  Those guys are totally confused back there."  At the very least, he can walk around the practice field and observe practice and tell Wash his impressions of the way the coaching is going. 

 

Thinking even further, I would have him scout our offense and come up with a game plan to stop us.  Self-scouting.
