Afternoon Notes: The Best Job At USC

Can you imagine if more people cared about the fact USC basketball coach Andy Enfield made $2.8 million in 2016-17?

That places him among the top 30 nationally for college basketball salaries.

In return, USC has won two NCAA Tournament games in six seasons. And two NCAA Tournament appearances.

He has only finished better than fifth once in the Pac-12.

But no one cares. And he keeps making a lot of money.

Put it another way: He almost makes as much as Clay Helton ($3.2 million) without any pressure.

  • Former USC guard Kevin Porter measured in at 6-5 1/2, 213 pounds at the NBA combine. He had a 6-10 wingspan and 5.1 percent body fat. Too bad he barely made a ripple at USC.
  • Gil Brandt, the former Dallas Cowboys vice president of player personnel, lists Michael Pittman as one of his five best senior wide receivers next season.

1. Collin Johnson, Texas

2. K.J. Hill, Ohio State

3. Tyler Johnson, Minnesota

4. Juwan Johnson, Oregon

5. Michael Pittman USC

    1. Or, to put it a bit differently, Pittman, St. Brown and Devon Williams should make J.T.’s job a lot easier. [But wouldn’t it be fun if we ran the ball 55 times against Fresno State]?

      1. That would blow freddie’s little mind….🧨💥
        But what do you think tedford will do, he’s a run first guy last year, it would make sense for him to try to slow the game. But can he move our 4 man defensive line alignment with those 3 big Polys playing at the same time?

      2. Fresno State will definitely try to run on us —but I think they’ll have a hard time. I like our new d-line coach (“D-lineman are not polite, nice guys! That’s not who we want to be!”). And I’d love the idea of surprising them with a run-heavy offense —but that will require some serious upgrades in run blocking.

      3. If they don’t make first downs, they just might be in a world of hurt. My big issue is it always seemed to me Clay would take his foot off the gas WAAYY too early and it would come back to haunt us. I hope Harrell is a pedal to the metal kind of guy.

      4. Harrell has said he likes to play “exciting” football —I’m pretty sure he means 4 quarters of it, not “we’ll play fast til we go up by 10 points, then we’ll convert to field position football.” The latter philosophy always gets you beat.

You boys better rethink your Bible…try reading the whole thing…..then, pray about it, then, get a complete understanding, not just the one cowardly people like you hide behind to cover their wrongdoings.

      1. Dude, who really cares about you? Lost you? You’ve lost yourself…I came to the knowledge of these things about myself long ago and turned to Him in earnest prayer. You’re hereby ordered to do the same as penance for your errors…don’t repeat them. That’s called discipline…..we’re supposed to achieve that relatively in older age, but you missed the message. So, I am sent!

  3. Sanctimonious,
    You remind me of when Donald Duck & Daisy Duck went to marriage counselling. First they did a joint session. Then Daisy was in by herself for an hour. Next Donald meets with the psychologist. Shrink says to the Donald—“is there a chance this marriage can be saved?”
    “No way says the Donald–SHE’S PHUCKING GOOFY”

      I’m so impressed that I need a shot of “wisky,” to regain my equilibrium.

  4. You’ll understand Goofy, when you’re included….you’re a non believer, but you’ll find out one day, by God’s hand…he knows who you are and where you are, even though I don’t….although, I’m up to in person interviews instead of long distance banter….you up to it? I know Pudly isn’t, but, in due time he will learn too. If he doesn’t, ballgame. It’s your choices, as I have called upon the Creator to avenge me….

        We really shouldn’t be so tough on sanctimonious. Or, as I observe…one short thought, one short sentence, one short post.

  6. USC’s unqualified, athletic director approves mediocrity, so Andy Enfield, and Bozo Helton’s jobs are safe.
