The O.C. Register sat down for a two part interview with USC’s defensive line coach and recruiting coordinator Ed Orgeron.

When asked why he decided to come back to USC with Coach Lane Kiffin, Orgeron responded:

We feel that USC is the best job in the country. I always felt that way. No doubt about it. I was here when Coach Carroll was hired. Lane and I were on the ground floor with Coach Carroll. We feel like USC is a very powerful place. You’re in the hotbed of recruiting. It’s a private institution. The weather, the people, the support, the tradition. I’ve never been to another university as powerful as USC. Nothing has ever come close.
