Interestingly Donte Williams was a GA for Sark at UW. All sorts of Sark connections on that staff

Sark used to coach there

[Tex-19 2,872]

I'd say they should hire Lane Kiffin..but that's clearly not gonna happen. Idk who they go for unless Chris Petersen wants to un-retire. I hope they chase Jimbo though just for lulz and to make Aggy sweat

Are you in his will or something?  You’ve been pumping him for big jobs for a while.  They did seem well coached against OU.

That list is still just as uninspiring as it was when it was our list 9 months ago. And Knight ain't letting Cristobal leave for a rival so cross that one off.

They are welcome to take Sark off our hands

That's essentially the same list that the talking heads thought Texas should look and we ended up with Sark.

some of these names......Franklin is 62-28 at Penn State why would they hire him when they just fucking fired a guy with the same record.....and is Christobal really going to leave Oregon for a shit show

Schiano is not leaving Rutgers he has it for life there no way he moves to another shit show especially because Rutgers will probably not take him back a 3rd time

Petersen is not leaving cushy TV for that fucked program

Never a better time for Campbell to jump than right now with the Big 12 having to pick up also-rans to stay alive as a P5 conference.

Jimbo at USC would be a hilariously awful fit for so many reasons. I'd love to see it.

Seems like Cristobal would stick with Oregon since it looks like he's getting the machine going. Imagine they can match any offer USC gives. OTH, USC is a blue blood and the recruiting would be lights out under a new coach with cred. Don't think Stoops will be interested and believe Petersen is done too.

[C-Man 27,227]

Urban goes 2-15 or 3-14 in J'ville and decides the NFL isn't for him -- takes USC job and kicks UT in the nuts (again).

Bring in Leinert and Bush?  What a joke of a time to make this move.  But good riddance, Helton.

Cristobal likes sunshine and the beach, so USC may have a strong pull. Of course, Miami should be open too. I love the way his O-Line played against tOSU. Toughness and grit

USC > Miami

It would be funny if we didn’t hire the same OC position he’s in now. And when he’s putting up the same numbers as sark our offensive genius won’t look so geniusy

This is going to turn into an LSU vs USC battle for Urban Meyer.

[ztejas 43,448]

This is a good look firing him 2 games in when they should have canned him after 2018.

Why the fuck would Cristobal leave Oregon?

USC is old money.  Oregon is new money. 

There are only a handful of legit blue-bloods.  USC is one of them. Oregon will never be. 

[mdmost 43,001]

Yeah but at Oregon you only have to deal with Phil Knight. USC, you have 50 Phil Knights and Phil Knight former NFL players to deal with. 

This seems like Fickell or Campbell's to lose. But Campbell isn't doing himself any favors. 

[n64ra 1,082]

I'm surprised the AD didn't drive Helton to the airport to deliver the news.

[Francisco 2.0 32,393]

I just can't see Matt Campbell coaching in LA.  Anyone else on the list, sure.  Not Campbell.

Oregon has recruited better for about a decade, has much freer capital for basically everything, and is committed to winning. Cristobal trying to rebuild USC instead of sticking with what seems to be a monster he's created up there makes zero sense.

NIL is now a huge factor for Oregon. Phil Knight can give you a shoe deal. The one kid got an NFT.

All the USC fans are stating Urban going to drop his Jax gig to join.

Wait until they start analyzing curtains. 

[Francisco 2.0 32,393]

Mike Gundy, perhaps.  Yeah, his politics doesn't fit the west coast, but if he ever wanted to leave Stillwater, it's time.  You can argue he should have pursued something in the SEC years ago, but those opportunities (maybe LSU) doesn't exist today.

I could see this happening. Although, USC had by far their best shot at Urban last year and didn't even try to take it (at least not to anyone's knowledge publicly). He was primed and ready...living in LA, working with a bunch of SC grads in his ear, shopping the coaching market, etc.

[Tex-19 2,872]

Wonder if this move could have ramifications for our staff next year. A lot of connections with those guys: 

I remember some Keary Colbert speculation for WR coach

Bryan Carrington

Helton was Sark's OC/QB coach at USC

Donte Williams was a GA for sark at UW

[Beau Vine 54,230]

Les Miles, anyone?

I doubt they want a guy who is never a threat to their main rival. Gundy had his window and it's long closed.

Hollywood gives a shit about USC right now? Oregon is already recruiting well. NIL takes them to the next level because they can pay recruits finally and not get in trouble.

It was minimum 3 seasons overdue, not including this one. 2 games in for most programs would mean they're serious about winning, but USC is just like Michigan, Notre Dame and yes...UT, in living off past glory. Just be good enough to sell "next year" until that no longer works..then make a token coaching change without really changing anything.
