Remember when people, Dan Patrick and others on the board, said they were going to get Jon Gruden? lol

I think we just said they were going after Gruden. If I or others inferred he would actually go there, my bad.

Gruden is waiting for the ND job


Mel Kiper- OC
Mike Golic- OL coach
Mark May- Water boy
Hannah Storm- whatever
Brett Farve- QB coach
Tommy Rees- GA

I can't figure out a DC

Jon grudgen can never be a college coach.

He'd offer 25 QBs a cycle and having to tell 24 of them no would drive him mad. He loves everybody.

Have to assume Alex Flanagan will be coaching tight ends. Amirite?

Sark's a better coach, though. Heck, he beat Kiffin twice head-to-head.

9,000 vbucks (all I have) says it's Sarkesian.

Whew. Dodged a bullet there.

Irish Pat and I need a talk to see who was actually Charlie Kelly first. I feel like it was me but then I left and I don't know if he tried to take over as the boards biggest jackass. Regardless him and I have to figure it out.

I think my position on the hire is pretty clear by now but I'll add this. USC is a top 5 job (fact, not opinion). Is Sark a top 20 coach, let alone close to the top 5? IMO, no.

People would flip a shit on this site if Sark was our head coach next season, and the ND job is on the same level as USC. That's why this hire is trending towards disaster.

Pat Haden says he interviewed 5 candidates, but only offer was to Sarkisian, who said this AM he didn't interview for #USC job.

Obviously not. But I don't even think he is even a top 20 head coach. My point is that this hire isn't good relative to the value of the job. If USC can't get a guy like Peterson, Franklin, or Sumlin to coach there, we don't have a lot to worry about.

Feel free to reassume your Charlie Day avatar. Just not the "biggest board jackass" title.

To be honest, I wouldn't have even been too impressed by Peterson getting hired. He put Boise in the spotlight, but they have been average ever since Moore, Pettis and Young left.

I don't see Franklin or Sumlin as clearly above Peterson or Sark for that matter... just me. The idea that SC may have gotten Lovie Smith... now THAT would have scared me a bit.

So, Orgeron quits after Sark is named coach. I assume Sark isn't coaching the team for their bowl game. So, USC will be on their 3rd head coach of the season, 2nd interim :laugh:

Correct. He has resigned, effective immediately I believe. And I understand why he would be upset that he got passed up, but he agreed to the interim HC position when Kiffy was shown the door. IMO, this little temper tantrum makes him look like a bitch. Be a man and complete your obligation. No one OWED him the HC job...

That is a bitch move by Orgeron. He professes his love for USC and his players but then throws a hissy fit and ditches them when he gets passed up? He should have at least coached the bowl game and then started negotiations for a HC job.
