INTERIM IN FOOTBALL, MEANS EXACTLY THAT


Let's just start with the definition: in·ter·im  (ntr-m)n.An interval of time between one event, process, or period and another.adj.Belonging to, serving during, or taking place during an intermediate interval of time; temporary: an interim agreement. See Synonyms at temporary.

Temporary, discontinuity, hiccup and  intermission some synonyms that may help you digest the true meaning.  An interval of time between one event, process, or period and another.


Don't be disilutioned that the interm, will become your head coach.
I have recently gone through this misconception, passion and emotion were contagious and resulted in Wins!  Hard not to when you can see the direct result, see players engaged and fighting for someone they love.  However, the end result was loosing one of the best recruiters and a "Interim" HC that had players playing passionately.  Brought in former players immediately for prep talks, amrcus Allen and Ray Lewis and even cookies back in the John McKay Center.


Remember its a business, and not just in the NFL, High School, College and the Pros.

No matter that Kubiak inherited  the 2-14 Texans, took them to playoffs had a stroke during a game, after the loss in Jacksonville, was fired, to be replaced by Wade Phillips who stepped in earlier after Coach was recouping. He also had 0-4 record.





Jack del Rio, stepped up and in for Coach Fox, 3-1 for the Broncos, meriting a game ball, Coach is back, so even though he also was persued by USC's Pat Haden for HC with the Trojans, he's back to D-cord.



USC's Pat Haden did the same, but to an interim who brought back USC football to the locker room, on the field and in the fans, after a loss to home town rival UCLA was abruptly replaced by WU Steve Sarkasian someone who had a PAC 12 record (24-21)  vs the "interim" Coach O's (6-1) record after taking the reins.


However, the Trojans (9-4) will be playing Saturday in the Las Vegas Bowl with yet one more (temporary) interim HC where they meet the (11-1) Fresno Bulldogs.  The last time these two met were at the Coliseum in 2005 with Pete Carrol at the helm.  The result 50-42 USC.
The dominos effect trickling as a direct result leaves Boise and Washington interims.

Many misconceived ideas arise, especially when the emotion and the W's come.  But remind yourself with what it actually means.
