Of course, Leinart coming back means USC will definitely start at #1 next season. But on the other hand, if Norm Chow leaves, the new QB will not have the coaching experience that Chow brings.

Of course, as a USC fan, I could not care either way. If he had left for the NFL, USC would have been able to raise another great QB. And now that he is staying back, there is and even better chance of USC going the distance.

But of course, fingers are crossed! :-)
