The dudes who left early look even smarter. Taylor, Swift, Cam Akers and Dobbins are the biggest winners from Etienne coming back (other than Clemson, on course)

Etienne's decision seems like that was his choice, I can't imagine any agent, family member etc... telling him to go back to school

From what I heard his mother is a fiction writer so he comes from money (to what extent I don’t know) anyway so he may want his degree and then football after

The most appealing thing about Najee was the limited workload which he is giving away for nothing.
Saban and Dabo should be ashamed of themselves. When is the last time a RB with a draftable grade went back to school and raised his stock? It doesn’t happen.

This is a bit of an overreaction but we USC fans are battered at this point so I understand where
casper90403
and
tupac003
are coming from 
Joe Brady just signed a3 year $3M extension and he’s leaving. People want to coach in the NFL. Taking a step up and leaving isn’t a shock or rock bottom. It’s the fairly normal progression of things.
Football coaches also take informational interviews all the time to build relationships and learn. Doesn’t mean Graham is looking to leave. His wife has also made it clear that she and the family aren’t leaving Southern California but if he does we’ll hire a replacement. It’ll be fine.
IATT
to answer your question, yes it’s a good thing that you’re looking at him. He doesn’t really run a ton of RPO stuff which I believe is Pedersen’s offense so I don’t know how he’d fit scheme wise. Maybe as a passing game coordinator. But as mentioned above, it could just be Philly getting him in the room to learn about his offense and exchange ideas.

Until next year when under recruited and scouted guys get an opportunity and shine.
Plus Bama’s players particularly RBs and LBs always get knocked at the draft medical for too much wear and tear. How would another year of getting beat up while showcasing the exact same skills with less supporting offensive help, help Najee?

You can throw the ball without running the air raid but if he leaves we’ll hire someone else with a similar background.
Graham was an OC for3 years before we hired him and before that we had Kliff. There are other good OCs even air raid OCs out there.
Because it was always this year then bust for the whole team. Get this chip then go.
I was telling

how for a bit there Ed O was talking to SC boosters about bouncing too. Allegedly.It’s why I’ve been saying this whole time next year is gonna be interesting for them. Does LSU have this same love for Coach O if they go 7-5/8-4 next year?

You know that narrative will change if he goes 7-5. Not next year but two seasons of 7 to 8 wins....they will be on his head.

It would be interesting to see how they work this in practice and in coaches meetings and such. Seems so OD, but I've been out of the game too long to know how a dynamic like that could work with all those specialty coaches on one staff.

There have been a couple of teams with 3 play callers: passing game, run game, etc. SC and I think Michigan (correct next if I’m wrong Mich guys) have done it.

I knew of teams with OC + pass game coordinator, but then adding all those other coaches seems like too many voices/opinions to organize into a fluid game plan. HC would have to be anally organized it seems.

I swear I watched a game earlier in the year when a school had a two run game callers. One for 1st and 2nd down..and one for 3rd downs only

They really basically have the same responsibilities as normal. Just a title to add to the paycheck and some input on scheme.

worst case, he’s round 2
Then when teams see his passing catching ability and he runs that sub 4.4, pretty good shot at getting into round 1

He could have snuck into the first round. He was clearly in that first group of running backs along with Swift and Taylor. I think there is a bit of a drop off as far as draft. Goes after those three. I could have seen him drafted anywhere from 20-45

If you’re an NFL guy at RB, you’re killing your earning potential by not leaving early.
It’s stupid.
