USC wants to hire Oregon cornerbacks coach Donte Williams but the Ducks are making a counteroffer to try and keep him. It really says something that USC or Todd Orlando identified an Oregon assistant to bolster the coaching staff. Oregon has become the program to emulate in the Pac-12. Just a few years ago, it seemed like USC was the top program but that was … Continue reading USC Wants To Steal Oregon Assistant
USC will join Notre Dame, Connecticut and Vanderbilt in the Legends Classic at the Barclays Center on Nov. 23-24 in Brooklyn. USC will play Notre Dame at the Coliseum on Nov. 28, which means the schools might play each other in both sports the last week of November . . . but 2,800 miles apart.

USC’s awful loss to Arizona State last night once again serves as a great reminder of the predicament Lynn Swann has left USC in at the moment. He tied up Clay Helton to a long-term contract extension with no buyout. He tied up Andy Enfield to a long-term contract extension with no buyout. And now USC is stuck with two mediocre coaches. Now maybe there … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Lynn Swann’s Parting Gift
