USC president Carol Folt told some donors last weekend that she will not be involved in the football coaching search. This is similar to what Steven Sample and Max Nikias would say when there was a coaching search. And remember, Folt said “no” when asked if there were any limitations on what Mike Bohn could or could not do with the football coaching position in … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Carol Folt Steering Clear Of Search?

Donte Williams wasn't able to save #USC's football season, but it was probably unrealistic to think anyone could. "It’s hard to change culture during the middle of the season.

He is definitely one of the worst defensive coordinators in … Continue reading Sunday Buzz: Some Incredibly Poor Decisions Haunt USC
