re: If O wins out he gets the job, period

What kills me is how people like you automatically assume we do not love Coach O or want him to fail. We want Coach O and the tigers to kick everyone's arse that we play. We just do not feel he is the most qualified candidate for the job. You cant guage his success as interim to determine if he is the guy for the job. He is taking over a team loaded with talent and coaching.....much as he did as interim at USC. His only true time as head coach didnt fair so well. Has he changed or improved? Without a doubt, however do you risk the money and momentum of our program on someone like this? Absolutely not. There is a reason nobody has been knocking down the doors to hire O as head coach. If Ed was to go have success at a mid major school, by all means throw his name in the hat for the job. Until then, you have to go with the more qualified PROVEN coach.
