USC Morning Buzz: Football Is Simple For Elite Coaches

Wouldn’t it be nice if Lincoln Riley adapted this attitude at USC? Here’s an Athletic excerpt that reveals Curt Cignetti’s attitude against Alabama in the Rose Bowl.

If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column

USC director of football recruiting operations Zaire Turner has been hired by SMU, where she will be senior director of recruiting. She was brought to USC by Chad “Charmin” Bowden. I wrote about USC presdident John Hubbard a couple times in the past week and could probably write about him every week. Here’s another gem: Hubbard used to have his own private cubicle in the … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
