Hey, Oregon...

Alumni love coach o. He'll get hired if he beats ucla. Might be the wrong decision, but it will happen. One thing kiffin never understood was that kissing the alumnis ass goes a long way at USC. And any idiot can see that the players play harder for O than any coach there in a long time.

 

I don't know. This is still Southern Cal...plenty of talent across that roster. Stanford aside, Orgeron led them to wins over Utah, Oregon St, Cal, and Arizona. There are dozens of guys across college football who could have led SC to wins over those teams.

I think he's done a nice job as an interim, deserves a big pat on the back when he leaves, but he's not established himself as a good head coach in my eyes.

 

Think of Texas. Tons of talent, no attitude. Sc has always had that problem. Carrol got these 5 star guys to play hard. Orgeron does too. That doesn't make him a great coach, but I had at least a dozen alumns comment that it felt like a game during the Carroll era. The band has a song for coach o. The alumni is chanting his name. No reason Haden can't give him a cheap contact and see if he can keep this going longterm.

 

I never said let him replace brown at Texas. I'm thinking more Conf usa/American level jobs. He's earned a shot somewhere like that or a lower level aq school.

 

Bill Stewart was a great guy, too. How did promoting an unproven interim work for West Virginia?

 

Dabo Sweeney worked out ok

 

Dabo wasn't a failure at a previous stop before Clemson, either.

 

Oregeron was hardly a failure as a position coach.

 

Agreed. Somewhere he can recruit the under the radar type players.

 

I can't imagine USC will okay with a head coach who failed miserably at Ole Miss.

 

Agreed. It's not like USC was just playing good teams.

 

I'm telling you right now he gets the job if he beats ucla . It's a lock

 

I know, but Haden has a sample of what Oregeron can do as a head coach at a BCS Conference level. He's not going to make the mistake of giving him full control.

 

Then Fight On.

 

He was?

 

Yup

 

Seems ridiculously short-sighted for the powers to determine the future of the program on the outcome of the UCLA game.

 

This is a good bit.

 

Agreed. With the sanctions over that has to be a top 3-5 job.

 

You have lost your mind. Even Orgeron knows he isn't getting the job.
