What other criteria would you have him judged by at this point? What great accomplishments would you list that would make this a can't miss hire? On the surface, would you rather have a Coordinator from Notre Dame or a TE coach from Oklahoma?
I hope that Beamer is the greatest coach ever at USC and wins us multiple SEC championships, and he very well may, but there is nothing at this point to suggest that this is the path we are on. Maybe next year this guy changes his mind if Beamer does well. We will see how this unfolds in the future, but there just isn't much to go on today.
