Has anyone heard anything about Graham Harrell or Todd Orlando since the end of the season? Not a word on their departures from USC. Harrell has really gone underground, especially when you consider he was making more than $1.2 million and got a three-year contract in December, 2019. He will probably try to get an NFL job but it might be difficult to get a … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: What Happened To Graham Harrell And Todd Orlando?

USC’s leading tackler last season, linebacker Kana’i Mauga, announced he will enter the NFL Draft. I have to say that USC’s got few linebackers on the roster and fewer good ones. This is feeling like a problem area like the offensive line. USC has signed only one linebacker so far, Garrison Madden, who is a three-star from Georgia.

Even if Andrew Vorhees (who went from … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Offensive Line Prospects Wanted

Josh Henson He gets hired as offensive line coach and gets new title (offensive coordinator) and doesn’t even have to call plays. Andy Enfield USC is ranked No. 8, its highest-ranking in 30 years. So why didn’t Enfield bet on his team by playing some marquee teams? UCLA does it every year.

The deal to hire Houston offensive line coach Brandon Jones but Lincoln Riley hired Texas A&M offensive line coach John Henson on Sunday. I’m told Henson will make close to the $900,000+ being paid to USC assistant coach Donte Williams so a big play was made to get him to Los Angeles. Henson was also an offensive line coach at Oklahoma State and LSU. One … Continue reading USC Hires Offensive Line Coach
