USC Coaches Meet The Press

Lincoln Riley said today the QB competition will be open during spring practice.

“We’re going to let those guys duke it out,” Riley said.

Spring practice will begin March 19. The spring game will be April 20 at the Coliseum at 12 p.m. The spring game is the only practice open to the public. It will be on the Pac-12 Network, unfortunately, so the network gets you one last time.

New defensive coordinator D’Anton Lynn was asked about UCLA hiring DeShaun Foster.

“I was just as surprised as everybody else, but super happy for DeShaun,” Lynn said.

Lynn said Riley is committed to improving the defense.

“I could just tell that he is determined to change that narrative, and he is determined to play elite defense by any means,” Lynn said. “And I believe him, and I believe in him.”

Defensive line coach Eric Henderson said it was a “no-brainer” to come to USC.

So did linebackers coach Matt Entz, who came from North Dakota State.

“You gotta understand the power of the logo here at USC,” Entz said. “When this program is operating at maximum capacity, it’s good at college football.”

In 1992, Larry Smith said something similar and it was used as a reason to get rid of him.

 “Names and logos don’t mean anything,” Smith said. “You don’t beat someone just because of your name and logo.”

New secondary coach Doug Belk: “We have to change the narrative. We have to set a new standard.”

  1. If Lynn had stayed at sucla he very well may have been chosen to be the sucla coach over Foster
    When SC is “operating at maximum capacity it’s good at college footballl” said coach Entz, and just when was the last time the Trojans were “operating at maximum capacity,” Coach?

      2. After the Orange Bowl game jealous Pete fired Naamie Chow and hired his basketball buddies to run the offense and you saw the result in the Rose Bowl on 4th and one. After that every year something would happen to stop us from winning the NC and the team slowly declined until that awful 2009 season when Pete was routed by the Indians 55-21 in the Coliseum.

    2. The emblem means zero. Most of the recruits were too young to remember the Pete Carroll Dynasty. They think of USC as that underachieving team with Suckiffian & Helton as the coach.

  4. – Just saw a clip of a drunken Kelce at 2:00 at the KC Parade making a fool of himself, and later spotted having more beer at a restaurant
    He also was quoted after the game using profanity very loosely.
    This is the best Swift, a wordsmith, can do?

    1. As Buddha said, it’ll never last.

      A year or two from now, they’ll split and not only a song, but an entire album will be about their relationship & breakup.

      1. You clueless dipshit…. Quit making shit up … You have to fucking idea where the relationship goes. Speaking of relationships, you spotted the shar pei walking the parking when you called her over and asked “How much.

      3. I am getting under your skin….. Obviously, it’s working to perfection….. You’re taking the bait AGAIN, knucklehead.

        So let me get this straight, if someone is trying to antagonize you they must have mental issues…

        I guess your past words would qualify you as someone with a mental illness. Your owns words are working against you again.

      1. gabbby,

        The new year is over and so are the things i want to change for this year, it is time to bitch slap you around, for the millionth time, First off it/she/he/chiuahua, it is not my job to have to research. If the writer brings it up, then if he is a good reporter, he can name all that would be in the running. Second, feces of the face, why are you such a piece of feces? No one likes you when you stop taking your medicine. Ur assessment about my knowledge of football is your opinion. However, when I see stupid, like you, I will not comment due to the fact that you do not know shit from shinola. So take a hint, shut your flappin trap until you either take your medication or they hook up the electrodes to your brain and give you your normal medication of shocking the brain. Take a hike bozo.

      1. Slo Cal is doing his best to deflect from his mental illness…..posting cartoons and lame videos just caves in his narrative…. the knucklehead is far too dense to recognize the optics.

        The guy needs to relax and find something that brings joy to his life. The constant whining and crying can’t be good for his overall health. Perhaps someone can offer him some friendly advice……I have tried!

      3. Yeah, yeah, trying to pretend it’s more about John than you. Nice try!

        None of us are shocked. 80M were naive enough to pretend everything was OK with Joe in 2020 and that he was fit for office. Now, it’s finally documented that he is not. Don’t cry. (As if! That’s like asking the sun not to come up.)

      4. You are one fucked up dude…..the shit you try to twist to fit your narrative is fucking really stupid…….under trump 11 million were unemployed, 5k a day were dying and all he cared about was his vanity, a China trade deal, and crying voter fraud before the election took place. trump lost because independent and suburban women knew Biden was the lesser of the two evils. Many at the time viewed a vote for Biden as a vote against trump…..They got it right ….so fuck off old man

        Here’s a concept, try picking better candidates who are electable. …trump for prison

        PS….you fools lost another house seat……love it!
