Does she know he only likes to hire coaches who work for schools along the same highway?
We'd put ***-whoopings on the Rams in 2023 and 2024 if FHCMM got that job lol
That scenario sounds amazing.
It does. WTTF could become Welcome to the Fort. He could re-brand as unusual, rather than uncommon. Goats make sheep, sheep lose games...the possibilities are endless.

He'd probably need to start recruiting Colorado though.
MM would probably do pretty well up there. No big programs to recruit against. Going up against New Mexico, UNLV, Hawaii and Wyoming sure beats the Hell out of USC, Washington, Stanford and Oregon. It would be right in his wheelhouse. He could cry at post game pressers and nobody would notice.
"I'm here to tell you that you are my dream."
From all accounts MM is a great person with high character and good morals. That said, that pregame speech was so cringe-worthy.

Hey, that speech gave Burrito a tingle up his leg! Or was that a tinkle down his leg? I forget which......

I remember the speech but not the game. It was Nebraska last year or was it one of the games in 2016?
It was before the RMS in 2016 iirc

Why not both?
Everything at the Athletic is paywall haha. That's their model.
Here’s the $20 million question hanging over USC’s new athletic director
Firing Clay Helton seems like an easy call from a football perspective. But considering all the other issues at USC — and the amount of money the school would have to part with to make it happen — it's not so simple.

Helton is probably coming back next season.
Mike Bohn strikes again!

Must mean that Urban wants another year on TV before coming back
Or Bohn didn't manage to soothe talk a booster in giving $20M.

Yikes, I’m admittedly ignorant to everything that’s happened there, USC is a ****ing mess. I know we should want them to be good because the PAC 12 but watching them consistently fail so splendidly is quite enjoyable. I didn’t realize they owed Helton that much money, he’s probably enjoying all these rumors, he’s getting paid either way.
Bohn has been on the job for just two weeks. He couldn't have uncovered everything that is wrong with the Trojan AD in that time frame. Trojans just have 11 seniors on that roster so based on that, Helton should have one more season at USC. He'll have two proven QBs in a QB friendly offense in that offense's second year. I just don't see any good reason to fire Helton right now.
The good reason to fire Helton right now is to hire Urban Meyer and immediately become the Pac 12 favorite in 2020. $20m to make Helton go away would be a small price for that program to pay for the kind of hype they would receive if Meyer was hired.
If CU can afford 10 million to fire macintyre, USC can afford 20 to fire helton.
We could barely afford the negotiated down Macintyre buyout!
He’s undefeated against CU. So, there’s that.
Looks like he's busy - https://www.latimes.com/sports/usc/story/2020-01-14/usc-athletic-officials-fired

When Mike Bohn was hired as the first outsider to lead USC athletics in decades, sweeping changes were expected inside a historically insular department recently racked by scandal.
Those changes at Heritage Hall have begun, according to multiple people familiar with the situation who were not authorized to speak publicly. Three of USC’s most senior officials in the athletic department are out, including Steve Lopes, the CFO and COO, who’d long been considered second in command.
Their removals stem in part from concerns over recent turmoil, including the “Varsity Blues” admissions scandal, The Times has learned. One department official, Donna Heinel, was indicted on federal bribery charges last year.
Ron Orr, a senior associate athletic director who led the Trojan Athletic Fund, is also out, along with associate athletic director Scott Jacobson, who also worked in development and fundraising.
