I mentioned last night I spoke to a pretty well-known coach who knows and worked with Donte Williams and said it was a “good hire, for sure.” Here are some other thoughts from the coach: “It’s interesting they are giving someone a title (passing game coordinator) for being a recruiter.

It really says something that USC or Todd Orlando identified an Oregon assistant to bolster the coaching staff. Oregon has become the program to emulate in the Pac-12. Just a few years ago, it seemed like USC was the top program but that was … Continue reading USC Wants To Steal Oregon Assistant
