USC sits in last place in the Pac-12 baseball standings.
The Trojans have been eliminated from the first-ever Pac-12 baseball tournament, which only takes the top 8 teams.
Is Jason Gill going to survive as USC baseball coach? Should he?
I had baseball boosters tell me this year was going to be different. It’s not. USC wilted in Pac-12 play. As usual.

- I’ve been critical over the lack of recruiting by women’s basketball coach Lindsay Gottlieb since being hired by USC a year ago. USC has signed just one high school player from the Class of 2022 (Aaliyah Gayles).
Well, Gottlieb has hit the transfer portal hard, picking up four players: Destiny Littleton (South Carolina); Koi Love (Arizona); Kadi Sissoko (Minnesota) and Kayla Williams (UC Irvine).
Here’s the problem: These players are not game-changers. For example, Littleton played for national-champion South Carolina, but averaged 9 minutes and 2.6 points per game. Love averaged 4.7 points and 3.4 rebounds at Arizona.
The transfer portal is a good way to get a quick fix but what is Gottlieb’s long-range plan? One high school commitment in 12 months is pathetic.
This is especially troublesome when you see five other Pac-12 schools have top-10 recruiting classes for the Class of 2022.
Gottlieb is desperately trying to hang on to a million per year gig.
As for Trojan baseball, that died decades ago and apparently will not be resurrected.

Bohn-head’s approach is to let things really bottom out … go tits up, before taking action. 24-24!? That’s not even on Bohner’s radar yet. A 16-32 season would be Bohnerino’s sweet spot.

The bozo baseball 24-24 record is an overall record. Its Pac-12 conf. record is a hapless, bottom-feeder 8-18. Maybe the baseball program should go cupcake schedule independent or join a Div. III conf.

Let me take a shot LJ.
1) Thirty-seven receivers but just 1 ball; 2) Who’s blocking; 3) SUCC is essentially 90% of the 4-8, 2021 team; 4) New HC unfamiliar with the Pac-12 conf., and a new QB with little or no game experience.
The 2022 bozo FB team reminds of the Clowns that when to Tixas Stadium to SHOCK THE WORLD and lost 52-6 (And no TD’s).
Just saying for a friend.

1. Yes, having too many really good skill players is a horrible problem.
2. Returning 5 guys who started games including two players who will be drafted.
3. 35 players from last year are gone. It’s a entirely new roster. Those who stayed can play, those gone couldn’t. LR sent them on their way.
4. Easily the best coach and QB in the conference, new or not. Every single team in the conference would trade in a heartbeat, you’re lying if you say no.
Good attempt, well not really, but at least you tried. Glad you could hang onto beating the worst USC team of all time. It’s going to be a long time before you win again.

Totally unacceptable for USC baseball to get swept this weekend at home against Washington!!! Last place in the conference, and now eliminated from the conference tournament should make this an easy decision for Mike Bohn.
Too many excuses from Coach Jason Gill who should have never got the job in the first place after having just an average program at Loyola. There are too many good coaches in college baseball at the moment to choose from we apparently settled on much less than a top tier coach in Gill.
Watching this team they clearly lack pitching talent, and there is no life, no fight, and no will to win on this team. Pitching is the key to success in college baseball Gill has lost out on many good arms going elsewhere.
3 years is enough for Jason Gill. The program is now worse than before he came here. The Covid year is no excuse why didn’t your recruit some pitching you had plenty of time to do that. The other teams in the conference had to deal with Covid also by still building their program, and recruiting the right players.
Mike Bohn USC baseball has a huge place in college baseball history. The program deserves better. Hire a top tier coach this time. You made Lindsay Gottlieb one of the top paid coaches in the Pac 12, and you can certainly pay more for what still should be a top program in the country.

I was at the game yesterday. SC was down 2-0, and they come back get it tied at 4-4. Then SC goes ahead 6-4 at the top of the ninth. SC was in control. Pitching let SC down. They gave up 4 runs at the top of the ninth. Gut wrenching

I can’t resist this. Sorry. Charles posted a piece featuring a Carol Folt quote decrying “racism.” She’s against it. And, worse, she composes her sentences in such a grand manner it appears she thinks a whole lot of people are on the OTHER side of the argument.
Here’s an idea for her: When they offered her house in a racially diverse neighborhood she refused it —and insisted on living in SANTA MONICA (75% white —3% black). Maybe now is the time to move out of her mansion in Santa Monica and live downtown …where she can help deliver food and medical supplies to the thousands of suffering people on the street. And prove —once and for all —how much she really cares.

Baseball is tough because of title IX. Not every kid gets a scholarship, most get half or less. I believe it’s 12 full scholarships available. But other schools are doing it, Vandy gets it done.
Honestly, going to an in state school with good baseball programs is a huge advantage. LA has all the talent needed to have a super competitive team every year, but they aren’t coming to USC. It has to be cost related. Maybe new NIL rules can help with that cost gap.

Why is it every time I get through the comments I don’t remember the original post? Oh yeah, baseball and woman’s basketball need new management. This point is clear; USC used to have the best coaches they could get because of the lure of the school, but that was before the scandals which made the school a clown college. Money can buy coaches but prestige motivates players and USC doesn’t have that right now.
