Morning Buzz: USC Provided Nice Landing Spot In Coaching Carousel

I hear when new USC defensive line coach Eric Henderson was offered the job, he made it clear to the Rams he was willing to stick around because the defensive coordinator’s job was about to open with Raheem Morris becoming the Atlanta Falcons’ head coach. But the Rams declined to offer Henderson the defensive coordinator job and instead promoted linebackers’ coach Chris Shula to defensive … Continue reading Morning Buzz: USC Provided Nice Landing Spot In Coaching Carousel

Kliff Kingsbury Finally Leaves USC (Again)

The long, overdrawn saga of where Kliff Kingsbury goes is finally over. He is becoming the offensive coordinator of the Washington Commanders. This will be the second time Kingsbury left USC. And what exactly did USC get out of him? Did he improve the offense or Caleb Williams last season? But if Lincoln Riley leaves USC, you can bet Kingsbury’s name will surface as a … Continue reading Kliff Kingsbury Finally Leaves USC (Again)

A Legendary Baseball Team Loses A Member

Bill Lachemann, a long-time coach with the Angels, died Saturday. He was 89.

Saturday Notes: There’s Always Time For Al Davis-USC References

Kliff Kingsbury, who was supposed to become the Raiders’ offensive coordinator, has withdrawn from consideration and is now a top candidate for the same job with the Commanders. This leaves the door open for Chip Kelly to go to the Raiders. Remember, he has already interviewed. Kingsbury wears me out with his interviewing and drama. "When I told Al Davis I was gonna be the … Continue reading Saturday Notes: There’s Always Time For Al Davis-USC References
