I was not serious anyway. Northwestern ain't no fool. Who wants a retread coach with nothing competitive, innovative to offer ? After UCLA, I presume he can still seek part time employment as high school football consultant. Again, I am being sarcastic because even with that, any high school program would take a huge risk seeking his advice, not even for $15 an hour fee. The UCLA contract has made him a millionaire at the expense of other things the athletic department could use with that money. Unbelievable indeed.

Late last year, when some of us met Jarmond at the NYC's Madison Square Garden. I honestly thought he was indeed contemplating dismissing Kelly because the buy out phase had elapsed. He talked as if something was really happening behind the scene, reminiscent of USC's multi pronged stealthy moves to lure Oklahoma's heralded coach to La La land. How they did it then worth every penny, every maneuver, every secretive phone call to seal the Riley deal that jolted Norman fans in stunned disbelief when news broke. I truly thought Westwood was orchestrating a sequel equally shocking to its crosstown nemesis. As it is, the extension merely prolongs the football woes. Nobody dares to pull the trigger.
