One of the mysteries for a lot of ex-USC football players is why Dave Levy did not get hired to succeed John McKay.
Levy said he was never told why he didn’t get the job but he believed USC president John Hubbard wanted someone who was not as close to McKay.
“He had clashed with McKay and wanted someone with fewer ties,” Levy said.
Another factor: Hubbard and Robinson always played racquetball together at USC and that sealed the deal in the eyes of some athletic dept. employees.
- Don Coryell lasted only one season with McKay at USC (1960) as an assistant coach. He left because he used to get frustrated with McKay’s constant changing of the game plan during the week.
“Coryell was misunderstood,” Levy said. “On TV, he always looked upset and had a scowl on his face but in the seven-and-a-half years I worked for him I never heard him say a harsh word to be assistant.”
When Levy decided to get back into coaching after being an administrator at USC, he joined Coryell’s San Diego Chargers staff during the Dan Fouts era.
- The Blood Bowl between the Daily Trojan and Daily Bruin has been moved from UCLA’s Drake Stadium to the USC Intermural Field and will start at 8 p.m.

I remember being assumed by that Coryell scowl. His expression seemed to never change throughout the game. And I think he usually wore short sleeve polo type shirts even in fairly cold weather. The Chargers under Coryell and Fouts were really entertaining. “We pass to set-up the run.” “We scored too early. Left a minute on the clock.” Nobody spoke like that before those Charger teams in the mid seventies to early eighties.

Gabriela having another conversation with herself, under a couple of her many names. She took up the entire Friday Notes column. I guess at a nickel per post it’s worth it to her.
What a nutjob! But she’ll claim others are dumb, senile or crazy and ignore all the people who have suggested she seek professional help. (Go ahead and lie about that AGAIN, Gabriela.)

This is an issue between you and Gabby. Stop bringing other names into it. If you are truly a “man” then you need to make the same perverted comments to his face. You talk the talk now walk the walk and meet him, or you need to call yourself a pussy who hides behind his keyboard. This has gone on far too long. Test Gabby and see if he’s actually a “wuss”.
Go ahead, make up some more lame reasons to get out of it. You’re nothing but a little instigator, with the Napoleon complex…..embarrassing

Glad to see Woof has been reading our posts (ie we were on what he is relating a long time ago – the McKay/Levy/Robinson situation has been discussed in books, documentaries, and articles I believe)!
Coryell and what he did for football is woefully underappreciated. For those unaware, not only was he an assistant for USC, but then had a superb tenure as the head coach at SDSU, leading to an equally successful albeit ownership-stupidity truncated stint coaching the St. Louis Cardinals (a team featuring great players like Dan Dierdorf, Conrad Dobler, Terry Metcalf, Jim Otis, Jim Hart, Roger Werhli, Mel Gray, and Jackie Smith), leading them to consecutive division titles and three straight ten win seasons (doing that under the Bidwells being a trick worthy of Houdini).
Any interested in learning more about him or how successful Dave Levy was (being part of a staff with Joe Gibbs, Jim Hanifan, Ernie Zampeze, et al, that made the Chargers the most entertaining and at times best team in the NFL 1978-82) might consider looking up the NFL Films “Missing Rings” documentary – Dan Fouts, Kellen Winslow, and Hank Bauer do him justice.
