So much for wishing another 8-5 year would keep him around.

Just read in that tweet that Donte Williams is getting the nod.

Time to bring Mike Riley out of retirement.

Donte Williams is the interim HC.

Will be interesting to see who they go after for the job. Peterson? Fickel? Fleck??

Certainly not Urban unless he pulls a real fast one on Jville but I would imagine they built all sorts of contingencies into his contract for stuff like this.

Donte is the interim. Curious who they go after and curious who they end up with. I bet we have to listen to the rumors of them courting Mario.

Reading Social media it seemed like a lot of people thought once a firing occurred that the OC would get the nod.

That they are giving it Donte makes me think they might see him as their own Mario in that they want an ace recruiter leading the program and selling that vision. Or at least that's what worries me about this because of their potential recruiting gains with him at the helm.

Looks like Mario is getting a raise. I’m not saying he goes, I’m saying his name comes up and we pony up more cash to get him to withdraw his name from consideration.

I feel for Donte. You know the players will lobby to make him the permanent HC, but I think there’s no way they go with another interim.

Are there any USC commits that we would go hard after? Maybe a CB?

Rumor is Donte worked behind the scenes to get Clay fired, so he could get the job. Don’t feel for that snake, this is what he wanted.

WOW!! If true, that is one heck of a behind the scenes drama. Et tu Dante? LOL!

FYI - Pete Thamel is tweeting these names as possible candidates: https://twitter.com/PeteThamel/status/1 ... 18081?s=20

Just my opinion but I think they should of given him a raise after the Stanford ass whooping.
