Herm is a clown, and lover of mediocrity, and bs salesman...the idea that he can sustain what Carrol built is ludicrous and I'd bet small amounts of high quality beer with anyone on it...

I think he'd be one hell of a recruiter, and elite talent wins.

Lets say you are a blue chip QB prospect, and you have aspirations of being a star in the NFL. Why in god's name would you ever, ever play for Herman Edwards and potentially hinder your progress?

Now if you are a world-class punter, long snapper or running back, it's a different story.

He's going to come into a kid's living room, talking about the league, all of his connections, players he's coached, playoff victories, and tell that kid that he understands what it takes for him to get there and succeed. It could be a pretty powerful presentation.

Also, Herm is a good guy, and parents will respond well to him.

Herm would be an outstanding recruiter. There's little question about that, IMO.

As long as he hired high-quality coordinators and allowed them to do their jobs, especially the OC, who would need to employ an aggressive philosophy with the type of talent he'd have at his disposal, Herm would be an outstanding hire for USC.

What high-quality coordinators has Herm ever surrounded himself with? Herm isn't going to get his NFL coaches to go to college and make half of what they would in the NFL.

He's also never had a coordinator with an aggressive approach.

What you are essentially saying is that he needs to be a completely different coach than he's show in the pros. Despite his infomerical like salesman persona, he's not getting the same recruits Pete did.

takes more than that

he wouldn't sniff a bcs title game with saban, meyer, etc...

and the idea that he's recruit as well as Carrol just because of his clown personality is questionable as well...Carrol has had the best assistants in the country for years, when has Edwards ever shown an eye for quality assistants?

like i said, I'd take Oregon as long as Herm was coaching usc....

god i hope this happens

How many big games has Herm won?

Whom did he ever outcoach?

Maybe this would work in basketball, run five elite recruits out on the court and then stand there and adjust your tie.
