USC Finally Hires Gary Patterson

It took awhile but USC finally announced the hiring of Gary Patterson this morning.

Like I said before, here is what someone who coached with Patterson told me about him.

“It will be a good hire if they get the old Gary Patterson and not old Gary Patterson,” he said.

Either way, it will be an upgrade from D’Anton Lynn.

And once again: To give Patterson a fighting chance, USC needs to restore physical practices. That is what will change performances.

  4. I can’t stress how important it is to have a defensive coordinator who NEVER coached in the Big Ten …

    1. Coach Riley: “Gary knows all there is to know about defending against Michigan, Ohio State, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa….”

      1. Cant wait to see how this experiment turns out. What took so long? Well, they tried everyone else and no one would take the job who had half a brain because they know LR doesn’t know D$ck about Defense. And given how LR’s viewed, they wouldn’t take the job knowing he will be gone in a couple of years and have no job security. Add to that, our decades long run of poor defensive efforts and poor defensive player recruiting- has made anyone worth their salt wary of coming here. GP had no worries as he’s 66, has got nothing to lose so he could care less what happens 2-3 years from now. But how is a 66 year old dude gonna recruit and attract quality defensive players….

      2. KAM: Gary will wow the Moms of defensive recuits with his disco moves.

        DAN: And win the recruits over talking about how great Welcome Back Kotter was.
