re: Rumors Abound

USC tends to go with guys who have California/Weat Coast connections. Sark had been an OC there and then HC at UW. Kiffin, while pulled out of Knoxville, had been both OC and HC of the Raiders. Carroll was born in Cali, played college ball in Cali, and coached there, too. I could see them going after Chip Kelly.

LSU should go the OkSt route again, honestly.

Honestly, if we fire Richt at this point, I think it's reasonable to say that Kirby Smart is the odds on favorite for the job. Honestly, it could be a lot worse. He is probably the one who would have the best chance of keeping our defensive staff together, he'd bring Scott Cochran, and he apparently has a very, very extensive Rolodex of other coaches from his time among the ranks. Without a doubt, he'd assemble one of the best recruiting staffs in the nation.
