That's Heisman candidate Cody Kessler to you, pal.

 

kessler = matt barkley 2.0

[AngelsLongBall]

Don't sully Matt Barkley like that!

[AngelsLongBall]

Bringing that victory bell home!!

The Cho3en one meet Biggie

Ucla really knew what they were doing Saturday

Clay Helton named permanent HC

[AngelsLongBall]

Goddammit. That is the epitome of an emotional hire. **** you Haden, retire already. Don't remember getting boatraced by Oregon the week prior?

Such a lazy hire.

I'm sure haden was planted by Notre Dame to bring down this program.

I can't wait till stanford goes in dry this Saturday

[mtangelsfan]

Not a fan of this hire.

[AngelsLongBall]

Having had a couple hours to calm down and reflect on this hire....**** YOU HADEN!!!  Agree that this is a lazy hire.  One which we will probably have to reopen in about 3 years. 

 

Look, Helton seems like a great guy.  A great leader.  Will be a fantastic head coach.  Some day.  Not today.  Not at SC.  His opening would be to go back to Memphis or Houston (when Herman leaves) and cut his teeth at a program like that.  Even though they beat ucla there still were offensive plays called that were complete head scratchers.  Stale play calling that got bailed out by the D and special teams actually showing up and making plays.  The majority of rushing yards came on the final drive when the game, for all intents and purposes, was already decided.

 

Do not like this hire at all.  You can't sustain emotion.  You need fundamentals, talent and coaching.  I could see us beating Furd, but I think we take it to the hilt in the Jerry Bowl 2016

Ouch

That's a lazy, garbage article.

Look who wrote it.

[TeemuTrout]

I'll wait until next season to complain.

[nando714]

I'll wait until next season to complain.

Why not Saturday? Or the bowl game? Will Helton get mulligans?

Gotta give him a chance to assemble his own staff and put forth his own system.

I wonder how much of the hire had to do with the university not wanting to pay off an entire coaching staff and start over. I don't know what SC's assistants are paid, but I'm guessing that it is up there with the top schools in Division I. All of those coaches were in the first year of whatever deals they had, which made the rest of the contract due if they were fired.

Possibly, but I doubt it. Second year of a four year contract.

ESPN ticker just said SC wanted to interview Hue Jackson. Are you ****ing kidding me? Haden really needs to GTFO. Jackson was an epic failure during Hackett's tenure. King of the 3rd and long draw play. They'll eventually never expect it!!

Don't forget Greg Schiano.

No one wants to work for Haden. He is a micromanager. He sits in on team meetings, coaches meeting, willing to give his 2 cents on starters, etc. Not to mention the way he fired kiffin, the way he handled sark...who wants to work for a guy like haden? As we found out from the last 2 "searches" not many

Imo who is retained. Tee Martin (wr), tui (qb/te?), chris wilson(dl), sirmon (lb), Heyward (db)

New rb, ol, defensive coordinator, OC...(hopefully)

[Hollyw00d]

Haha I hope Greg schiano takes the reigns

Good luck getting recruits at SC with that assclown

You're a day late to the dance, guy

[nando714]

Really no expectations for tonight. Just hoping for a competitive game. Stanford is really really good. Especially that white running back who should be invited to new york

[AngelsLongBall]

so glad we removed the interim tag on Monday!

[nando714]

Haden didn't want a gimmick offense ALB. He must loves what he sees

On a serious note. How the fvck are they only down 10? Terrible first half
