Coach O went 6-2 there as interim, brought life to program. But wasn't hired because USC had a competent AD.

Coach O goes 6-2 as interim here, brought life to program. But our AD is so incompetent, that he feels the need to give him a chance instead of hiring an up and comer/proven coach. Now our program is in a very fast downward spiral because of it.

Thanks Joe Alleva.

Are you saying Clay Helton was a homerun hire?

Helton was an interim coach too. And don't forget that he was doing terribly until Darnold started playing. And they've been pretty underwhelming to start the year.

I'm not 100% positive but wasn't Sarkisian the hire from the "competent" AD?

It's not popular on the board right now but Helton is an example for having patience. He was an interim, given the gig. He started last by being blown out 52-6 and was 1-3 at the end of September. USC fans thought he was in over his head and wasting all of the talent on the roster.

Again, I know that right now no one wants to hear anything other than fire everybody but something to think about.

Wasn't that competent AD fired?

This might be the worst argument ever made. USC is a terrible example for your point.

Don't just bring up stuff to fit your narrative. As bad as O sand JA ,USC is not what we are doing to emulate. That's a dumpster program that has seen it's best years pass by.
