Does USC have a head coach?
It sounds ridiculous but I think it’s a legitimate question. Who is the leader of the program? USC has an offensive coordinator and a defensive coordinator but who is running things overall?
When Desman Stephens got ejected from the game, who was in control of the sideline? No one.
The reason players were unfocused and celebrating while Dante Moore was hurt, is nodody is in charge. Lincoln Riley is buried inside his play calling, Gary Patterson can’t see past the defensive formation and that leaves an army of underlings lacking power or professionalism.
Does that happen under Curt Cignetti? Does it happen under Bob Chesney? P.J. Fleck?
- Just when you thought things couldn’t get any lower at USC . . .
For years, the radio booth has been a bastion of unprofessionalism but now comes this video, which shows the reaction to the targeting penalty. Pete Arbogast sees no penalty even after watching the replay, while the spotter, Burt Iwata, throws his hands in disgust at the officials over the call.
“It didn’t look like targeting to us,” Arbogast said.
Meanwhile, Shaun Cody, the actual football player, is forced to endure the whole thing but makes his feelings clear with his facial expressions. He’s the only voice of reason.
Jen Cohen has a lot of cleaning up to do with the football program.
Cody has issued the following apology: “I didn’t mean to undercut Pete. I never want to hurt a fellow broadcaster. That is not who I am. Not one of my expressions of disgust are reflections of who I am as a person.
I wish Pete a full and complete recovery.”

the denialisms and whataboutisms from the Fan Boys, Homers and Company Men are tiresome! people are bringing up Lagarette Blunt punching an opponent 20 yrs ago! and failing to mention Chip Kelly immediately suspended him for all remaining games of his senior season inclu bowl game! and what about Hillary’s emails?? i think its safe to say Arbo should consider retirement; when everyone sees it but you, no es muy bueno.
