re: Do you think coach O will stay if he is not offered HC?

Well, he stormed off the campus at USC when he realized he didn’t get the head-coaching job. Thus, it depends on the circumstances. If he wins out or has one or two close losses and doesn’t get the job, then he’s probably gone. If he ends up with three or more losses, then he will obviously know that he has no chance of getting the head-coaching job and hopefully will agree to stay on, that is if the new head-coach wants him to stay on.
