USC Morning Buzz: Defensive Duties Raise Questions

Remember when Shaun Nua was hired from Michigan to coach the defensive line coach, it was hailed as a masterstroke to get a Jim Harbaugh assistant coach.

So it seems a little curious that he is now solely coaching defensive ends, which was previously handled by Roy Manning. It doesn’t seem like much responsibility for someone with Nua’s background.

But this is the new restructuring with former Rams assistant Eric Henderson officially the defensive line coach.

“He’s going to be like a GA (graduate assistant) to (new defensive line coach) Eric Henderson,” a Pac-12 coach said. “Henderson will do everything. But Nua will get over it when he gets his paycheck.”

    2. That pineapplehead clown Shaun Nua is lucky to even be getting a check…he ain’t worth a shit

      USC should have fired his dumbass last year. When he’s fired he’ll end up just like Grinch, exposed as the know nothing idiot he is with no job prospects.

  2. What coach? I highly doubt any PAC 12 coach is going out of his way to communicate thoughts to a third-rate blogger aka Scott Wolf.

    It’s pathetic that Scott has been reduced to voices in his head as a source of content.

      5. “single wide?”

        The comment was directed at so cal. When his old man crocked he inherited a single-wide trailer from him that he now lives in. According to a source, the thing is an eyesore.

      8. “According to a source…”

        And she has the nerve to accuse Wolf of making up sources! As always, accusing others of what she’s guilty. Proving why she’s know to most here not only as the Village Idiot, but a BS Artist.

  3. Wolf you can only dream of getting Coach Nua’s paycheck, 401K match (100% up to 10%) and other fringe benefits.

    Keep dreaming.

    Coach Nua was stuck with Grinch system. DL will be fine in 2024.

    Anyone else read LAT endorsement of Gascon? It was hilarious and sad at same time.

    Anyone but GASCON is my motto.

  4. Nua coached the edge players at Michigan not the interior DL or the DL period.

    Wolf has nothing to talk about so he’s going to stir the pot, it’s just who he is.

    1. Not according to Scott’s post from two years ago when Nua was hired:

      “Nua is being credited today with coaching Michigan stars Aidan Hutchinson and David Ojabo.

      But if you read reports from Michigan, Ryan Osborn coached the edge rushers and Nua coached interior linemen.”

      3. Ryan Osborn was a defensive analyst at Michigan, whatever that is.
        David Ojabo was a OLB at Michigan, is that the edge these days ?
        Per the Michigan website, Nua was their DL coach, he was Navy’s DL coach, he was ASU’s DL coach, he played DE at BYU, so I guess he coached DL & DE at all these schools.

      3. But you’re not wrong, MG. More people here would love for Gabby to go even more than Kliff. (And many of us REALLY want Kliff gone.)

        You watch! The idiot will act as if this was directed to her, when it was merely a response to YOUR remark. She makes that mistake a LOT.

      4. Your support for my removal is little to none. I know it claps your ass when MG says something positive about my participation in this blog. You speak for a party of none.

        So why continue to read my comments if they trigger you……could it be a mental defect…..please explain?

        Plus, this blog occasionally needs some spirited bantering, and it helps Wolf’s click count.

      6. Yep….sure enough…..never heard of him. But that doesn’t surprise me. Some people know a little about everything but not very much about any one subject. I’m not like that. I know a great deal about a few things and very little about the rest. Some people might say that I live in my own little world…….maybe!!!

    1. When other teams start respecting USC’s pass rush and are forced to leave an extra player, or two, in for protection it will also ease the pressure on the secondary.
