((HT: ESPN on ABC/USC Athletics))
The debate may really pick up now...
Has Ed Orgeron earned the removal of the word "interim" off his coaching position at Southern Cal...???
This might be the proof...
FOSG Lindsey Thiry was in the locker room and collected these quotes from the roster via her Twitter:
We want to run through a brick wall for Coach Orgeron. -Hayes Pullard
I speak for the whole team and we absolutely love Coach O. -Cody Kessler
Clay Travis thinks the top two for the job should be Kevin Sumlin and James Franklin...
The HQ isn't all that hot about either and, in talking to those who are buying tickets these days, they like Orgeron...
Should be an interesting tug of war...
Interesting sidebar via Lisa Horne and her Twitter:
Per KABC, two people had cardiac arrests on the USC field and 1 person suffered a broken leg
Coach O is causing hearts to go a-flutter...

PM Grambling UPDATE: No Players, Another New Head Coach
((HT: KSLA-TV))
The flame out of the once-proud Grambling football program is reaching "profound dumpster fire" stage...
Day two of the football players inactivity has reportedly led to the dismissal of interim head coach George Ragsdale and the appointing of new interim head coach Dennis Winston.
The Tigers have traded their OC for their DC. Ragsdale will be reassigned within the athletic department...
Ragsdale was, apparently, on his cell phone calling players this afternoon wondering aloud if they were going to attend practice. The answer was an easy "no" for the squad after meetings this week didn't go well with the administration of the university.
Here's the latest this afternoon...

Sean Isabella of the Monroe (LA) News-Star newspaper caught up with Ragsdale who left campus ten minutes before practice was supposed to begin this afternoon:
"...safety Naquan Smith gave a surprising admission Thursday during a public demonstration by the students.
“As a team, we feel like we wanted (Ragsdale) to actually step down,” Smith said. “(The team) is behind us because they know what we’ve been going through. They know the struggle. We said we’re behind each other 100 percent.”
Ragsdale took the high road and said he still had faith in his team despite the turmoil.
“If that’s what they felt, they wanted me gone,” Ragsdale said. “I loved them whether they wanted me gone or not. Maybe they didn’t like my coaching methods.”
Thursday afternoon campus police had placed barricades up blocking the roads to practice facility before the scheduled 5PM practice. News media were told that they were to leave campus and any players were off limits for interviews...
Grambling is scheduled to play Jackson State this week, and the HQ would love to know what this game is going to look like...
