Interesting... You're thoughts on the hire?

I was trying to put that into the original post but working off a phone sucks.

Anyways, I like it on several accounts. Someone with experience with no previous ties to SC. If true, hired within days so a decision can be made on Helton before the season is through and early signing period arrives, and he has PAC 12 experience.

Woooo Weeee, A lot of smoke that Urban is headed west to coach.
Is is true, or is there fire w/ that smoke?

I’m not up to speed on ties between him and Urban, so I will tread here cautiously with that, but boy are those rumors flying.

Twitter is blowing up about him being the #1 choice....

Urban Meyer is “undoubtedly" USC’s No. 1 choice & USC will do "whatever it takes to get him” as its next coach, sources told @Stadium. “We think the guy that can do it is Urban,” source said. "He did it at Utah, Florida & Ohio State, but the question is if he’s really interested"

Doesn’t hurt that Bush and Leinart are with him several days a week.

With good reason. Urban may be a sleezeball, but he's a hell of a coach.

Report: USC ready to 'do whatever it takes' to land Urban Meyer
"USC football is reportedly setting its sights on a new football coach, and particularly one who is no stranger to winning at the highest level of the game.

Sources reportedly told Stadium's Brett McMurphy on Friday that Urban Meyer is "undoubtedly" the Trojans' top priority for a potential new coach and that USC is ready to do "whatever it takes" to bring the former Florida and Ohio State coach onboard.

USC football is currently under the direction of Clay Helton, but support for Helton has diminished amid recent struggles for the Trojans on the gridiron. USC posted double-digit wins under Helton in both 2016 and 2017, but the Trojans fell off significantly with a 5-7 finish in 2018 and are now 5-3 this fall. The program already saw the resignation of athletic director Lynn Swann this September."

Some are saying Bohn is a great hire others saying terrible. Only time will tell, but I figure one way to gauge it is how are Cincinnati fans reacting.

Cinci has been doing some good things over the past several years...

Looks like his first task is finding a new HC- he can stay away from ours.

People don't realize how good he is- this is actually his first season with every kid being one of his recruits.

Some of us realize. His name has been mentioned a lot on home boards but I seriously doubt he would come out west. His system is in place and he is having success.

Quality hire.

So did this happen?

nm- just saw that he was announced today

 

[iesheepdog]

Okay, now that this is official, let’s get Helton out of the way.
