When Marv Goux was a USC assistant coach in the 1960’s, the “jock rally” was created on Fridays before the game. After five decades, it looks like USC has turned the jock rally into a marketing tool and renamed it the “Sunset Rally.” Is any tradition sacred? It will be interesting to see how the whole DJ vs. band issues plays out Saturday. I hear … Continue reading USC Friday Buzz: Another Tradition Under Attack?
First, some housekeeping. I haven’t posted since the day Clay Helton got fired because of previously planned hospital visit. So I’ll start with what I know on the coaching search. Here’s what I hear from Heritage Hall: Mario Cristobal, Oregon. USC has identified him as its top choice. Matt Campbell, Iowa State; Luke Fickell, Cincinnati. The up-and-comers are the next choices. James Franklin, Penn State. … Continue reading We’re Baaaaack

Now it’s our job as coaches to identify those mistakes from last night and correct them” “It’s early in the season, I hope people will see us all the way through the … Continue reading Sunday Night With Clay Helton
Remember last year I continually wrote USC would be worse this season? But Mike Bohn wanted to talk about the support staff being increased. USC got pushed around the field despite a new strength coach. The media sucks up to Todd Orlando but USC has not had a sack in two games. Kedon Slovis has not improved and might be worse. And there is no … Continue reading Discuss The USC-Stanford Game
