Morning Buzz: USC Is An Easy Job If You Don’t Mess It Up

I didn’t hold back talking about Lincoln Riley on the Petros and Money Show on Tuesday afternoon.

You can hear the lively conversation about USC football by clicking this link and going to Hour 2 at the 17:52 mark.

  • I’m not defending Penn State coach James Franklin but the past two-plus seasons he is 28-6 overall.

And remember that got him booed by some fans at a dance marathon in February that raised money to cover 100 percent of all medical expenses for families with childhood cancer at Penn State Health Children’s Hospital.

And he got into it with a fan after losing to Ohio State last weekend.

Lincoln Riley is 12-12 in his past 24 games at USC. Has he been booed anywhere by Trojan fans?

Now Riley hasn’t shown up for any public events like Franklin but is there even a USC fan angry enough to yell or boo him in public or at a game?

USC is such an easy job. Unlimited financial resources. Great tradition. Awesome weather. Located in a recruiting hotbed.

And an incredibly patient/indifferent fan base.

But to his credit, Riley has screwed it up.

“This is a toss-up game between two coaches who can easily blow games for different reasons.

“Does it matter that Franklin hired Andy Kotelnicki as his offensive coordinator. Who? Kotelnicki comes from a highly creative offense at Kansas so maybe Penn State won’t be so vanilla at the Coliseum.

“I don’t think USC defensive coordinator D’Anton Lynn is going to like facing this offense unless Franklin shackles Kotelnicki. Riley hopes Franklin won’t want to face Lynn.

“Two head coaches feeling heat. Both overpaid. This game has a lot of intrigue.”

That actually held up pretty well.

      2. Nope. God cares about who is in charge, the nations laws, and how people live out their lives. “Blessed is the nation who fears the Lord. ” Psalm 33 The entire book of Deuteronomy is about politics.

      I said prayers to Our Lord and Saviour and to his Holy Mother thanking them for allowing Trump to win and to give American one more chance. America, can’t screw this up. We need to return this country to him.
