USC Should have stayed with coach O. Another bad move by Hayden. When this hire tanks, we can kiss Hayden goodbye with him.
Orgeron was Muschamp-Like at Ole Miss, so I don’t see how this isn’t an upgrade.
I have a conspiracy theory that the top brass at USC wants to to pull a Robert Hutchins--that is, drop football in favor of more emphasis on teaching and research as Robert Hutchins dis in 1939, when he was president of the University of Chicago. The Chicago Maroons of the Big 10 had only a few years before produced the first Heisman trophy.
If they announced today that they were dropping football, the reaction from students, fans and alumni wold make the Columbia University riot of 1968 look like a bocce ball match at a retirement home. But if they hire a coach who will develop a mediocre team, the fan base will go down and when they finally do drop football, no one will care.
