those todd graham texts are hilarious.

[mrwicked]

Was that the year Cal and SC went to 3 OTs before Cal pulled it out? Those were the golden years

[AngelsLongBall]

Oh God, it's happening

If the Trojans are looking for someone who can continue their tradition of power football, while also adding an up-tempo style, the current Washington coach is their guy.

Lol.  I love how Sark hasn't done shit at WA and he is being mentioned all kinds.

 

I keep seeing James Franklin mentioned.  I think he would be a home run hire for SC.  Hope they don't get him.

[nando714]

Imo we need someone with zero connection to the university . Something out of the ordinary. Stop trying to hang out to the PC era. See Kiffin and see the ppl throwing Sarkisian's name out there.

Franklin, Sumlin, Strong, Briles, etc....

Silas Redd will play next Thursday. Weird idk how the carries are going to be split. Madden, Davis, Redd. The players had no idea until media day that kiffin was calling plays everyone was comfortable with helton & tee martin will have his say as well.

Buck Allen another talented rb who played well in spring and fall camp and had some good runs this season will see time at wr a la kelsey young at Stanford.

Coach O says the offense will try and get the ball in the hands of "more players"

Im excited to see how Martin & Helton do with the.offense

In Sark's defense did you see what he inherented at WA? A 0-12 team. They had BAD teams under Willingham.

Its been a process but progress has been made. Looking at his whole body of work hes done a solid job.This yr may be the yr he gets them over the 7 win mark. Imo he beats on of stanford/Oregon in the north.

New facilities, new stadium, he's been a good recruiter. He has something good brewing up there.

They will get blown out by Furd and lose by at least two touchdowns to Oregon.

He beat stanford last yr. He can do it again. Key is they get Oregon in a very loud husky stadium

[nando714]

 

 

Eddie O's first post practice presser. kinda weird. he even list injuries. 

 

Insiders say no matter who USC names HC Coach O will stay and Tee Martin. 

[nando714]

Rally mo this is for you lol

USC offered a position to Jeff Tedford on its staff this season after firing kiffin. He would help with the offense and recruiting. He declined, but is interested in the job as HC. IMO he took himself out of the running when he turned down the temp position.

First Clancy now Tedford. We're trying for Southern Berkeley!

Oh. My. God.

 

Seriously, though, Tedford might be able to absolutely kill it at USC with the players he could recruit. When he had moderately good players, he did really well. He just wore himself out to the point that he was making insane decisions on a regular basis. I'm of the opinion that he had some sort of a health issue.

 

The fact of the matter is that if USC stipulated they'd only look at him for the HC position if he took the consultant slot means that they don't really consider him a viable candidate. I dunno, maybe if he came in there and just lit it up, they would have.

 

I think Tedford could be a great OC and QB coach again. If you guys could get him as OC and had a really solid OL, it would work out really well.

[nando714]

Pat Haden was selected for the new Playoff Committee

[RallyMo]

He won't have to worry about any impartiality issues for a few years, so there's that.

[AngelsLongBall]

 

2014 or bust!

[nate]

Lol... perfect use of that meme.

[nate]

Tony Dungy was contacted about the SC job and he said no.

...we need to go younger imo

[AngelsLongBall]

Please no Dungy or Herm Edwards sorts.  I think they caught lightning in a bottle with Pete.  Don't think that's the template we should follow

The Pac-12 weekly teleconference became a one-stop shop for coaches to refute interest in the USC head coaching position Tuesday, with David Shaw of Stanford and Mike Riley of Oregon State each shooting down speculation they might be on any short list to fill the vacancy.

"It might be short, but it's one person too long," Shaw said.

Lou no current HC is gonna come out and say he's interested in the middle of their season

Unless its bobby petrino

SC -6 Thursday

Really doesn't matter. We never cover

[AngelsLongBall]

Parking is going to be a nightmare on Thurs.  I'm not sure if the Coli will be half full. 

[nate]

I figured Arizona would be favored by a field goal.  I guess because of the coaching change they are giving an edge to SC.

[St1ck]

No Kiffin is good for at least 7 points.

I'll be there. 4 day weekend
