Although I said last week I didn’t think USC would leave the Pac-12, I wouldn’t mind seeing Mike Bohn make a critical comment or two about Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott. With Scott’s contract up in 2022, now would be a good time for Bohn to drop some hints about Scott’s job security. That would really re-establish USC’s role as a power broker in the Pac-12. … Continue reading Now Is Time For Mike Bohn To Seize Pac-12 Power Vacuum

Sometimes, former USC assistants actutally do move up the coaching ladder. Scottie Hazelton, who was linebackers coach at USC in 2012, was named defensive coordinator at Michigan State. Hazelton was the defensive coordinator at Kansas State last season. Before that, he was defensive coordinator at Wyoming. Guess that year with Clancy Pendergast didn’t do too much damage.
