Its funny how people think Orgeron should be the head coach just because he's won a few games. USC has beat Arizona, Utah, Oregon St, Cal and now Stanford while losing to ND. Stanford predictably was going to have some type of letdown (remember last year after they upset SC), ND sucks and @OSU was a decent win but not by usual SC standards.
Firing a coach can be an immediate stimulus just by itself. Look how much better ND was once they got rid of Ty. Then we found out Charlie Weis sucked. Look how much better UW was suddenly after firing Ty. Then we found out Sark sucked.
