If tampons get their way and Riley goes. I hear the next coach is

Indiana is one of 130 d1 programs.  Every year there’s an Indiana but no one has done what they have.

someone wins the lottery every year too.  So let’s put all our money in that.  No.  A more stable way is to save and invest.

in building  a program you have recruiting.  Facilities.  Coaching.  I think usc has slowly been doing these things.  Jenn saw they needed new facilities.  Probably already in the works.  They just opened and we won’t see those results for awhile

muscle replaced their s and c coach last year.  Again. Part of the build.

after years of coaches recruiting. Last year they brought in an entire recruiting staff and program.  It’s paid off.    But freshmen don’t win NC.  Cig uses 25 year olds.  Unique.  Creative.  But im not sure that’s sustainable.    It’s his approach.

Usc wants to build and recruit like notre dame.  Hs kids who stay 3-4 years.  Now 5.

continuing to start over doesn’t help

do I think a new qb can do well?  Sure do.  Their wr are all young. Many dl are too and their whole secondary is raw.  Freeman te. Wr and they appear to like their young rb group.  Think they have a few young OL too and a very good coach

overreacting to one game isn’t my style. Maybe it’s others.

is Gary Patterson the answer?  People who keep wanting to fire the coach are getting their Way. I’ve seen so many usc DC come through from Helton to Riley I can’t name them all.   Monty.  And that former cal guy and grinch.  Lynn.  Patterson. At some point it’s not them right?

they are a good team and they are a top 15-20 team.  Can they climb into the top 5-10?  Dunno.  But absolutely won’t happen this decade if they gut the program.  Again

I think the present group of freshmen should play as juniors.  Or redshirt soph.

Thats not a lot of time but it would be 7 years and that’s enough for a coach to establish. Make mistakes and progress.  I also think 8-4 in the big ten is like 10-2 in the pac.

So if a team is going 9-3 in this conference imo they are doing pretty well.  9-3 average.  Occasional 11-1 a few 10-2 and occasional 7-5 and 8-4 and you keep your job imo

he’s not far off of that

Does kalen?  Dunno.

but usc has had  Monte kiff.  Had that former cal guy. Grinch.  Lynn.  How many dc you gonna run through?

theyre building  talent.   As to usc. My opinion is you dont Fire 9 win coaches.  Nebraska firing solich was a mistake and began a long trip through the wilderness.  Ohio state firing earl Bruce was a similar mistake.   We can come up with many other examples.  I think if a coach is winning 9 games you keep tweaking and adjusting to get over the hump.  Especially if he’s winning 9 playin g in the b10
