The Tennessee Titans are suing USC and Coach Lane Kiffin over the hiring of offensive coordinator Kennedy Pola, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean newspaper reports.

According to the report, the Titans contend that USC and Kiffin “maliciously” interfered with the contract of Pola, who was hired by USC on Saturday. Pola had joined Titans Coach Jeff Fisher’s staff in January.

From the report: ‘The lawsuit was filed in Davidson County Chancery Court and it claims Pola breached his contract with the Titans after being induced by Kiffin. Pola, hired by the Titans in January, was hired by USC over the weekend as the school’s new offensive coordinator.
