Jay Glazer of Fox Sports said this morning that some NFL teams are interested in USC offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury as a head coach. “Teams are actually looking at his contract to see if maybe we can lure him before he really starts at USC,” Glazer said. From going 35-40 at Texas Tech to head coach in the NFL. What a country! Meanwhile, here is … Continue reading USC Sunday Buzz: NFL After Kingsbury?
Like clockwork, USC plays a team that is not a tomato can and loses. Oklahoma beat USC for the second straight season and both games were on neutral courts (last year at Staples Center, this year in Tulsa). USC is 5-5 overall. The good news is the Trojans play Santa Clara and Southern Utah next, which is more to Andy Enfield’s liking. Wasn’t it supposed … Continue reading Oklahoma 81, USC 70
So Oregon picks up the highest-rated recruit in its history. A kid who went to Dorsey and Oaks Christian and doesn’t even have USC in his final four choices. Is Lynn Swann paying attention? Oregon also has four-star recruits from Mater Dei, Narbonne and Calabasas. And Rivals just ranked the Ducks’ recruiting class at No. 3 nationally. USC is No. 33. Meanwhile, I talk about … Continue reading Kayvon Thibodeaux To Oregon

USC offered a recruit this week who apparently had Utah State as the leading choice. The die-hards and over-the-hill … Continue reading USC Saturday Buzz: Scholarship Offers Keep Coming

The 240-room hotel was purchased by USC in 2000 and USC Auxiliary Services assumed operations in 2010. Before the Radisson, it was a Hilton hotel. It will operate as an independent hotel now. Don’t be surprised if USC eventually … Continue reading The Radisson Will Now Be Known As USC Hotel
Former USC defensive backs coach Greg Burns is returning to the Trojans. He was at Oregon State last season. I haven’t been around Burns since 2005 but I know Pete Carroll talked Tampa Bay defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin into taking him off his hands in 2006. That was a disaster and Burns last only one season. He has since been at schools like Kansas State, … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
