If I’m UCLA, I’m taking a long look at UNLV coach Barry Odom. Anyone who can win nine games at UNLV is doing something right and when you’re at a program like UCLA, you are better off hiring a coach who can do more with less resources. It’s better than having an entitled coach who thinks the world owes him, aka Chip Kelly. Before coming … Continue reading USC Saturday Buzz: An Under Radar Candidate For UCLA
Chip Kelly’s desperate attempt to leave UCLA finally happened as he was hired as offensive coordinator at Ohio State. At least Kelly left behind the nation’s No. 83-ranked recruiting class. This is the doing of either the post-modern athletic director, Martin Jarmond, or UCLA chancellor Gene Block, because they should have fired Kelly in November. Super booster Casey Wasserman is also getting criticized for supporting … Continue reading Chip Kelly Finally Finds A School To Call Plays At
USC wide receiver Zachariah Branch will run the 60-meter dash today at the Boston College Eagle Elite Invitational indoor meet. The final takes place at 1:40 p.m. PT. “Honestly, I’ll just call my shot at this point, I don’t see USC keeping (Julian Lewis) in their class,” Loy said. And now for some history: RESTAURANT OF THE WEEK Speaking of 1956, here is what the … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
I’ve been unimpressed with USC’s No. 18 ranking in recruiting. But have you seen UCLA and Colorado? UCLA is ranked No. 83 by Rivals. Colorado is ranked No. 90. Now they are both ranked this low because they hardly signed anyone. UCLA signed 10 players. Colorado signed 8. But that’s not an excuse! You need more freshmen than that, even if you think the transfer … Continue reading Some Truly Ridiculous Recruiting Classes
The expectations were high when Colorado was going to hire a new defensive coordinator (read below tweet). But I was a bit underwhelmed when the Buffs hired Bengals secondary coach Robert Livingston. Livingston might turn out great but like everything with Colorado, there was so much hype I expected a bigger name or established coordinator. But this move makes sense. Why? Because Deion Sanders likes … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: An Underwhelming Hire
USC signed three players today. Two of the three were 3-stars per Rivals. Like I said, Signing Day in February just isn’t what it used to be. “What happens is when you don’t have the success that you expect, that you can circle that and highlight that, and it leaves a bad taste in your mouth, but it also creates a chip on your shoulder,” … Continue reading USC Notes: Did Signing Day Happen?
