Donte Williams wasn't able to save #USC's football season, but it was probably unrealistic to think anyone could. "It’s hard to change culture during the middle of the season. You change something at a program culturally, it usually takes about 2 years."https://t.co/rK5xn2kwXN — Ryan Young (@RyanYoungRivals) November 22, 2021 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js I guess I need to point out (again) that Ed Orgeron took over from Lane … Continue reading How Long Does Culture Change Take?
