Actually, Clay Helton won the Bowl Game against Fresno State.
If USC didn't think enough of Ogeron to keep him, when they already had him, I don't want him, either.
Not only that ... But no other school extended him an offer, either.
Why some of y'all "fans" continue to believe guys who no one else wants would do so well at Miami is completely beyond me!
We already have a coach who was viewed as an excellent recruiter, and an "up and comer". He's failed!
Nobody but relatives and close friends of his really think Ed Ogeron should be the HC of a major football program. ****, the dude can't even get a job as a DC, but you think he should be the next HC at Miami?!?!?

Look what Orgeron did at USC, went 7-2 beat #5 Stanford, and #20 Fresno State, lost to crosstown rival #22 UCLA & Notre Dame, and finished the season ranked #19 . Not too bad for interm coach.
He won 2 national Championships at Miami, coached some of the Best Defensive Lineman at Miami and he's an incredible recruiter. If he hired the right Offensive Coordinator, and with the current talent on this team we'd be back in the Top 25 within the first year..
I know the negatives as well, failed at Ole Miss (not everyone succeeds their 1st time), blow up while at Miami (bad time in his life, mo incidents since then)..
As I mentioned in my earlier post, this team needs to play with a passion that the current staff doesn't bring to the table.. The D needs to play with an Attitude, that nobody can move the ball on us (ain't happening with this Pansy Scheme), and The Offense needs to have the Attitude that nobody can stop us from moving the chains (Coley is a?, we moved the ball On FSU that 1st half and it was brilliant, but the 2nd half adjustments went to FSU)... Orgeron would bring that attitude, he rallied USC in '13 to 7-2 record, they could've folded, but they went out and beat some pretty good teams.. The worst thing the administration could do is bring in another passive Coach
I think they bring back Ed Orgeron.. Yes, I
know he failed miserably at Ole Miss, but he did a Great job as Interim Coach at USC.. How often do we hear if it wasn't for my mistakes at the other place I wouldn't be where I am today? They learn from their mistakes, MJ didn't make Varsity his first go around, look at Tom Landry's record to start, the list is endless..
Orgeron has history here, he's a great recruiter and he brings passion, which to me is probably the biggest thing missing on this team..
^^^ Orgeron would be another really interesting choice. He'd be a very risky hire, but could bring back that swagger. Problem with him is he has a bad history with violating NCAA rules, so I doubt James would want him. If he could keep Coley, or get another good offensive coordinator he could really thrive here.
you're right. the only thing we are missing is the "swagger." once we get that back, we'll be back on top.
Keeping Coley is a big if. Teams all over CFB and the NFL have been trying to pull him from the staff. Golden has pulled every trick in the book to keep him here.
I pucking love this place.
