    The Tennessee Titans have sued Southern California and its new coach Lane Kiffin after the school hired away Kennedy Pola, the Tennessean reported on Monday.

    Pola was hired as running backs coach of the Titans in January but left to become the Trojans offensive coordinator over the weekend. The lawsuit claims that Kiffin "maliciously" interfered with Pola's contract with the NFL team in inducing him to leave.

    The newspaper reports that the lawsuit claims: "as a result of USC and Kiffin's tortuous conduct, Tennessee [Titans] football has been damaged in an amount proven at trial."

    Titans coach Jeff Fisher was not happy with Kiffin's role in Pola's departure.

    "I am very disappointed in Lane Kiffin's approach to this," Fisher said on Saturday, according to the Tennessean. "Typically speaking when coaches are interested in hiring or discussing potential employment from coaches on respective staffs there is a courtesy call made from the head coach or athletic director indicating there is an interest in talking to the assistant.
