Watching the LSU game, I noticed he seemed to be limping badly while walking the sidelines. You just never know.

Let me preface my statement by saying, I am not a fan of the "old ball coach". However, he changed the SEC from a three yards and a cloud of dust offense, to a more wide open offense. And I haven't forgotten that he won an ACC Championship at Duke. A great and innovative coach.
However, quitting on the team in mid season, does not speak well for the "old ball coach". Granted, USC is not winning, but those are HIS players. He recruited them and to quit on them at this point in the season is frankly gutless. But there may be another reason he decided to "resign, not retire". After the way his team has played, he was more than likely getting some heat from the AD. I believe, just my opinion, that the "old ball coach" did not like someone pointing out that his team was just not getting it done. The "old ball coach", showing his arrogance, probably got fed up with the criticisms and said that's it, I am done, find someone else. Of course, there may be other reasons, as others have stated, but quitting on your team and stating I am resigning, not retiring, is a slap to all of HIS players. Just gutless in my opinion.
I think there's more than meets the eye that will later pop up. I can see both sides as to or not to leave during the middle of the season. Either way, he has left a legacy.This is what I don't get. He seemed to be a better coach than that. Makes me wonder if something is wrong with him.
And an even better playerLove him or hate him you have to admit he was a helluva coach.
