Ed Orgeron says in the interview below that he is willing to be a defensive line coach as he seeks a return to coaching. USC’s run defense could definitely use him. Now let me say this because I am not naive. Lincoln Riley and Ed Orgeron are like oil and water. Riley wouldn’t hire him and I’m not sure Orgeron would work for him. But … Continue reading USC Notes: Here’s One Way To Help The Leaky Run Defense
One new alibi from the Lincoln Riley apologists is that it is tough to win road games, especially when Riley is 0-6 against ranked teams on the road since he was at USC.

Remember last week USC defensive coordinator D’Anton Lynn said general manager Chad “Charmin” Bowden was a “big help” sharing information on Notre Dame’s personnel? Well, 442 yards later, how much help was Bowden? Maybe this is why he is a general manager and not a coach. Talking seems to be his specialty. TRIVIA TIME There have been 512 games played in the storied history of … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: The Secret Weapon Fizzled
