USC Morning Buzz: Not Everything Should Be Copied
I asked a Pac-12 wide receivers coach to expound on what I said yesterday about UCLA’s cornerbacks being awful, which is relevant because USC needs to hire a secondary coach if it wants to improve the defense. “When I watched UCLA’s tape, I watched their corners and I thought they were awful,” the Pac-12 coach said. “They were terrible. (D’Anton Lynn) has to hire a … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Not Everything Should Be Copied
USC Night Notes: Changing Of Guard
Patrick Auerbach is out at USC after 23 years. He was Associate Senior Vice President for Alumni Relations and was behind the controversial plan that dissolved the regional alumni groups in 2020. More than 70 USC alumni club officials wrote a letter opposing the plan. That plan had the full support of USC president Carol Folt but Auerbach’s abrupt departure suggests things soured sometime during … Continue reading USC Night Notes: Changing Of Guard

First, Entz isn’t getting head-coaching offers like that. He might have … Continue reading Morning Buzz: Is Being Linebackers’ Coach At USC Better Than Head Coach At NDSU?

Thanks, Enfield!
A rare near-sellout at the Galen Center of 9,806. The much-anticipated debut of Bronny James. And USC can’t even beat Long Beach State, losing in overtime, 84-79. James finished with four points, three rebounds, two assists, two steals, one blocked shot and no turnovers in 16 minutes. USC is now 5-4 overall. Remember this guy?
