Chinteresting because
1- hes a hell of a recruiter. Has probably been the best recruiter on Oregon's staff
2- he's not a great coach. His biggest "success story" for one of his commits has been...I dont know... Demodor Lenoir who was a very high ranked 4-star recruit and will probably be a mid-round pick. Fits in well with USC recent history of turning 5 star recruits into 3 star players.
3- I think I read he was the lead recruiter for Justin Flowe, who almost signed with USC. Could some Kaho-ing be afoot?
 
It’d be a great get for USC but a questionable move on his part just because we all assume Helton is getting canned at some point this year. Why go somewhere the coach is going to get canned and not know if you’ll be retained.
 
Where's this noise coming from?

"Legit source" or a bunch of internet recruiting nerds hugging it out on internet forums?
 
All things being equal, why would someone leave the job security of Oregon for the dead man walking situation of USC?
 
Scott Schrader. He’s been wrong a lot more recently about coaching stuff than he’s been right, however this looks to a lot more realistic than say Urban. He does seems fairly well connected to the players though, he’s been the first to mention things like Steele leaving UF-> Oregon ->USC.

the obvious answer is Williams relishes being named the interim head coach at USC by Oct. 24 and then he's likely receiving one/both of a guaranteed 3-4 year contract plus AD Bohn will ensure that the next head coach retains him "for program stability reasons".

I get it. He’s being paid significantly less than Heyward. And in addition to being the PAC-12’s number 1 recruiter, he has Graham, Lenoir, Wright and Holland on PFF’s top 30 returning defensive backs in the nation list.

Either Fill Night writes a big check. Or he goes to LA knowing in a worst case scenario a super recruiter won’t be on the unemployment line long.

He could be picked to stay and if Williams is confident he can get another job easily, then it’s not that big of deal. He has a track record that will go beyond what happens at USC this year.

Williams may find another job rather easily, but where those offers come might be the problem. It isn't guaranteed that a Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Ohio St., LSU, Clemson, etc. come calling. There's a chance his best offer after USC cleans house with Helton and the rest of them, might be a Nebraska, Kansas St., Boston College, type. Still Div 1, but not near the money he was making at Oregon and especially USC.
