Not to your comment Roger, but to Don's

Monte Kiffin? Are you serious?

You think that NU should bring in a 72 year old coach that was unsuccessful
twice working for his son and dealing with modern college offenses.

His own resignation at USC cited that he didn't understand the modern
college game and that he wanted to go back to the pro's.

I think your scarlet covered glasses are showing in this selection.
