re: So It's Been A Couple of Months Now (USC)

Just a quick Google search, at least the USA Today reported the mutual interest. I'll look up more during halftime.

Eta: what crispy said. Sorry, not all of us have to hire a no name coordinator from our own staff.

Eta 2: and to answer the OP, a couple months in and the recruiting class isn't half bad.

It was his first year as a head coach and he had a chance to jump to the SEC to a team that supports it's program with money, fan support, and finished 4th not too long ago.

It's not like he has a long history of success.

Get real. No way in hell USC beats the team that was one point away from toppling South Bama.

Dave Odom was our old BBall Coach, I know that for a fact. You mean to ask who is Harry Odom.

Okay dude

Don't know why you're so worked up over this

Did you miss the thread with the BR article calling him Dave Odom?

And do we still have a straight answer for the logic behind the Muschamp hire?

Wish I would've seen this thread earlier, my post should've directly followed your question.

The team asked for a young and hungry HC with a lot of energy. They got that, they got Muschmap. Then let's look at what happened.

1.) Muschamp took over and assembled the best group of Asst Coaches that anyone in the SEC did.
- 3 former National Recruiters of the year (Thompson, TRob and BMac.) He then kept the centerpiece of what was left in our former coaches in Coach Elliott to help with the transition.

2.) He took a 2016 recruiting class ranked in the 70's and built them to #24 on the 247Composite within 2 months.

3.) Right now our 2017 recruiting class is ranked #15 in the 247Composite, #8 on the 247 Site Rankings, and #10 on Rivals.

4.) We are in the lead for 4 of the Top 75 247Composte players in 2018 (Thomas, Belk, Sandidge and Wynn.) We'll end up with a Top10 recruiting class in 2018.

5.) We up'd the budget by $10M for the new football operations building after Muschamp got here.

6.) We are 1-0 and, with a SEC road win in a game we weren't favored in. We allowed 160 fewer yards than last year against Vandy.

7.) Our FR WR, Bryan Edward, broke a SC Football record for most receiving yards by a FR in an opening game.

8.) Our FR RB, AJ Turner, avg'd 5.4 YPC his first game, which lead all SEC FR RB's with 10 or more carries in week 1.

Yet, some of y'all are acting like Muschamp wasn't a great hire.

Are we gonna win every game this year?!?!? probably not. Are we gonna win more than last year?!?! Definitely. However, right now we are rebuilding this team/program and very soon we'll be back on top in the East, like we've been for most of this decade. So talk all y'all want right now, but the #CocksComing and there isn't anything anybody can do to stop it.

Herbstreit also predicted it LINK

Herman wasn't in line for any job he wanted mid season last year when we began talks with him. He was in the middle of his first season as a coach at Houston and was largely popular off his accomplishments as OC at Ohio St. At that time, he was interested because he wanted a job at a Power 5 school and there was no guarantee he would be getting one in the near future. No one knew how well Houston would finish up their year, or that he would be even more sought when the season ended. The Citadel game, the success of Houston last year, and a conversation with Jeff Scott, a friend of his that coaches at Clemson, convinced him this wasn't the right job for him. We were not his long term goal as a job. We were always going to be a stepping stone for him if the right school came up, but he was set to be the coach here until the Citadel game.
