Hey 9000, this paragraph from Wikipedia:
“In 1979, he helped lead the Rams to Super Bowl XIV,[2] where they were defeated 31-19 by the Pittsburgh Steelers.[3] In 1984, he rushed for a 49er team record 1,262 yards during the regular season, and also caught 28 passes for 230 yards, was selected to the Pro Bowl, and played in Super Bowl XIX in which the 49ers defeated the Miami Dolphins 38-16. Tyler was the first player ever to lead two teams in rushing in two Super Bowls.”
Bush was a virtual NFL bust.

Slowless, “When Reggie roamed the field” reminds of the 2006 NC game when Bush inexplicably lateraled the ball into a fumble recovered by Tixas……LOL.

In light of recent admissions and flat out losses in courts by the NCAA, I think we can ease up on Reggie Bush. Even the “Bush Push” is now legal
Recently it was revealed that the NCAA never interviewed the Reggie’s parents. Most of the NCAA’s case rested on the testimony of a sleezball would be agent and phone records that were not proof of any wrongdoing. The courts have found the NCAA defamed the running back coach.
Reggie saw the money and ran. He took his NFL job seriously and saw the hack job coming. He refused to talk to the NCAA not because he was guilty, but because he’d moved on. His exploits on the field are legendary. He belongs in the Hall of Fame.

They might be a little better next year under Alex Grinch because they are probably going to have better players. But they will never be really good under him. He could probably go somewhere else and resurrect his career but not at SC.
He’s already lost the team. They don’t believe in him anymore. Once you lose the team mentally and emotionally, they will not play with any confidence. At the start of 2012 the players thought Kiffin was the Messiah ready to take them to the promise land. After losing to Georgia Tech in the Sun Bowl at the end of 2012, Kiffins career at SC was over. He had lost the team. His career at SC may have lasted 5 more games into 2013 but really his SC career was over after the Sun Bowl. That’s why I really think that they should go for another DC.
