You don't really know why they have coaches clinics. Wow.

I like how Mullen list him as former coach at sc, nothing about tsun

0 is angling to get the ULL job when Hud gets another job offer. He probably would be willing to go to La Tech, La Monroe, but I know he was angling for the ULL job.

He pissed off a ton of HS coaches while with the bears, I guess this is his way of trying to mend fences in an area he hopes to recruit in the near future.

We are just trolling bear fans. I approve 100%!

Who do we have coming in as an interpreter?

[Coach34]

We put on a coaching clinic every year for HS coaches from all over to attend and watch practice...we have guest coaches to speak

[FISHDAWG]

no I really don't know ... why don't you enlighten me instead of trying to sound six-pack cool ..... thanks for your answer below coach .... I thought Eddie O was a college coach

Is he going to end the clinic by saying "you're welcome for the 2007 Egg Bowl. I gift wrapped that one myself"?

Only if at the next clinic we have Houston Nutt as guest speaker and we can thank him for the 2008 Egg Bowl.

He should be a good speaker too, though (ignoring the fact that it might be hard to understand him at times). I've got to think how his team performed when he took over at USC is an indication that he has learned some stuff since his UM gig and he can probably tell coaches a lot about mistakes he made and what he learned from them. The little I've heard him talk after taking over as USC's head coach, he sounded a lot different. Not as far as accent goes, but he didn't sound clueless like he did when he was at UM.

Ill prob be railed on for this and that's fine but the bottom line is mullen is a smart guy and he knows that there is a very good chance that at the end of this season that we lose Collins... The Ogre would be a great DC and a good recruiter. If you don't think this is how things in coaching circles work then you didn't pay attention to how Saban handled the Lane Kiffin deal.

I doubt we lose Collins after this year. We are now in a new era of MSU football where we are paying our assistants. Florida State wanted Geoff, and we stepped up.

Whether Collins leaves or not- we're not hiring Orgeron. Not as long as Bracky is around. O is not that good of a DC. There's a reason why no one has paid to get him and a resaon why USC let him go.

Saban wasn't happy with their old OC. Kiffen is not a good HC. He was/is a good OC. That's the difference between him and Coach O.

Sort of. Good relationships with high school coaches is huge in recruiting. Want to get them on campus and network.

[601Dawg]

Can we somehow find a way to hire Coach O just as a recruiter

Is that really true? Was it just lucky that USC got hot after O took over? Or was Kiffen just that terible of a coach that him leaving made them better? I really didn't pay attention to USC even after O took over, so it could have simply been a soft schedule. Did you pay attention? Or are you just basing it off of him being a terrible head coach at Ole Miss (where he moved from a position coach to a head coach with defensive coordinator responsibilities at a have not in the toughest football conference)?

I do agree we're not hiring him. I don't think we'll be able to afford him even as a DC. He was getting more than we'll pay a DC as a recruiting coordinator/assistant head coach, and I'm guessing after USC's performance while he was interim HC, somebody will be willing to pay him to be a DC. Even if he turns out to be mediocre as a DC, you know he'll greatly improve your talent level.
