I'd say that is a BIG BOOM!

This is bigger than I expected.

Everyone is asking that question now. I'm sure the experts will let us know.

Bonnette reporting he's getting the assistant AD title here in addition to DPP, looks like we just plain out-bid USC west or he just didn't like the staff there.

Well is a smart move for us either way, to hunt him down. Plus, if "AD in waiting"... I like that.

Lots of people out west unhappy with that program...from the hiring of Sark to his firing to hiring Helton as the fulltime coach...lots of question marks with their leadership. Wouldn't surprise me if Austin got there, saw what things had become, and decided to kick rocks

Someone on 247 just pointed out that USC just hired Lynn Swann as AD so he might have wanted to bring in his own people.

Everyone's just speculating, but it makes sense.

I'm happy he's back though...regardless of the reason.
