I said the same thing before btw, but I'm willing to admit when I was wrong. I've never seen a guy turn around a fanbase so quickly. I was in the Trojan club after the game, uber rich alumni club inside the stadium, and not a single person wasn't in favor of him getting the job.
True. O's got 3 years of performance that say he has no business being the head coach anywhere that matters. I like the guy, but hiring him instead of any of about 50 guys USC can reasonably expect to take the job if offered is insanity. It would get Haden fired, so maybe I do want Ed to get the post.
If this happens, I hope Del Rio chokes on it. His turning it down before is what brought Dooley to UT.
I agree about O staying on as an assistant. He knows he has little to zero shot of ever getting a quality job again. Why rot away at some directional school when you can still stay significant at a good school?
