USC Notes: Largest Staff In America?

Rob Ryan is in fact coaching at spring practices, which means USC does have three linebacker coaches. No pun intended but this is a bloated coaching staff. Ohio State defensive coordinator Matt Patricia will be paid $3.75 million in 2026, making him the highest-paid assistant in the country. I still think USC might have the most expensive staff with all the deadwood getting paid sizeable … Continue reading USC Notes: Largest Staff In America?

USC Morning Buzz: Spring Propaganda Season Underway

This is one of things that drives me crazy about spring football (at any school). A play that is not particularly special gets sent out and circulated everywhere and people pretend it is amazing. Spring propaganda remains undefeated. You know when a play like this matters? In the fall. Against an opposing team. Not in the spring.

USC Sunday Buzz: Some Hard Truths With Basketball

He can’t keep brining in an army of transfers every season and there needs to be higher standards about the character of players. I’m well aware the … Continue reading USC Sunday Buzz: Some Hard Truths With Basketball

Fox Sports Bungles USC-UCLA Broadcast

Fox Sports 1 pulled a debacle tonight. It did not broadcast the USC-UCLA game until 10.9 seconds were left in the first half. That’s because the Panama-Puerto Rico baseball game ran long (and it was a great game!). Fox said you could watch the USC-UCLA game on its app but several USC fans told me they couldn’t even get the game on the app. Why … Continue reading Fox Sports Bungles USC-UCLA Broadcast
