USC Morning Buzz: Did Anyone Trust Hue Jackson In 2011?

001pryor-usc_medium

I haven’t followed Hue Jackson’s career closely since he left USC in 2000 but after his surprise selection of Cody Kessler in the third round of the NFL draft last month, he asked everyone to trust him. In 2011, Jackson was head coach of the Raiders, who used a third-round supplemental pick to take Ohio State QB Terrelle Pryor. Did he ask Raider fans to trust him too? Five years later, Pryor is now catching passes from Kessler as a Browns wide receiver. I can pretty guarantee Kessler will never play wide receiver in the NFL.

  1. CLE is the most truly dysfunctional franchise in the NFL. 5 – 6 head coaches in 8 years 4 – 5 gm’s. In fairness Kessler could ride this offering a long way due to those two glaring facts.

        • Yup that’s il/elle a real twisted clown. Hating USC is all he does – no dates, no wife, no kids, no career, just bile, envy and never ending idiocy.

          • Still Avocado, your nasty, childish rant aside, SUCC earned the bozo u moniker – I mean 5 head FB coaches in 3 years.

            BTW Commie SUCC, how is Mr Dixon adjusting to his new 100 sq. ft. condo?

          • Man boyo you really AND I do mean really need help. you’re one sad piece of work.

          • Not with my facts. I believe Commie SUCC you need 3 or 4 more Fireballs. Then you can do your Wooden routine.

          • .No instead I’ll watch as all of us here will, you unload with your usual acronyms and identical nonsense you have toward USC

  2. Wolfman calling people out for mistakes and any type of unprofessional behavior is first rate comedy.

  3. “I can pretty guarantee…” Blogger bags on someone; then writes like a 3rd grader.

  4. Hue Jackson is one of the worst coaches I have ever seen… how does he keep “falling upward” ???? Very inexplicable like … Lane Kiffin, or… the blogger.

    • We’ve see it before with Lane Kiffin falling upward to the USC head coaching job.

  5. Maybe he can blame his mistakes on his new phone like I did. But proof reading is a professional skill and I am an amateur.

  6. Nobody cares, Scottie. Relevance? Trying your best to prove that Cody was a crap QB? War’s over. Wermer dropped the big one….

  7. Hey Wolfbag…did it ever occur to you that Al Davis made that pick, since he was the owner/gm of the Raiders? Hang on, don’t answer that. The obvious never occurs to you.

  8. Hue Jackson will either look genius, or like a fool, because no credible scout or analyst though Cody Kessler wold be drafted before the 7th round .

    • Hi, Fred. If you’re a gambling man, Ill take the “fool” side of a friendly wager. 🙂

    • Tom Brady was the 199th pick in the sixth round by the New England Patriots. I’m not saying that Cody is the next Tom Brady, but it just goes to show that the “draft experts” are not actually experts.

        • I’m going to give you pass GueyToy since English is not your native language. But try and follow the conversation with a little more intelligence please.

          • I loved your inteliigent evaluation of Husky football coach Chris Peterson!

          • That’s Petersen with an “e” moron. Oh yeah, ESL.

            And he currently has a 15–12 record at UW while profiting $6.4 million in salary. Nice call.

          • Is ESPN’s Kevin Gemmell a moron?

            “Was 2015 Chris Petersen’s best coaching job?

            The record is average. Literally, right down the middle.

            At 6-6, it would seem like this was a down year for the Washington Huskies, who needed an Apple Cup win over Washington State in the season finale just to become bowl-eligible. For their efforts, they’ll take on Southern Miss on Saturday in the Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl.

            But make no mistake, 2015 might have been the best year of coaching Chris Petersen has ever done, though he’ll never talk about it. Getting Petersen to brag about himself is like getting a Kardashian to shun the spotlight. So here’s fair warning: The following quotes contain zero chest thumping or self-serving, ego-inflating rhetoric.

            “It’s really about the kids,” Petersen said. “They have worked their tails off and they haven’t flinched. Yes, we feel like there were a handful of games we should have won. We just couldn’t get over the hump. We couldn’t execute. The nice thing is you can see the frustration. And trust me, if you’re feeling frustrated, you’re feeling the right stuff.”

            Petersen came to Seattle following the 2013 season with one of the finest coaching resumes in America. In his time with Boise State, he was twice named the national coach of the year and won at least 10 games in seven of eight seasons. Twice, his Broncos went undefeated.

            So 6-6 in his second year with Washington, his “worst” season as a head coach in terms of record, probably doesn’t do much to move the excitement needle for what’s been accomplished. But it leaves plenty of room for bubbling optimism about Washington’s future.

            Since arriving, he’s preached the two “Ps:” patience and process. In his first year, he inherited a team that just said goodbye to a veteran quarterback, a Mackey Award winning tight end and a Doak Walker finalist at running back. They were young in the secondary and lacked experience at most other major skill positions. They went 8-6.

            This year, starting a true freshman at quarterback, running back and left tackle, underclassmen on the right side of the line and five more underclassmen on defense, the Huskies made the kind of mistakes you’d expect from such an inexperienced team. But you could also see the growth and development throughout the season.

            Inconsistent? Sure. Young teams usually are. But when everything was clicking, it was very easy to see the potential of this group for 2016 and beyond.”

  9. You were correct when you said you hadn’t followed Jackson’s career since 2000, you should have stopped there. Who owned the Raiders in 2011…ohh yeah a guy named Al Davis (still living at the time). Who traded that pick…Al Davis, the same guy who drafted the terrible and fat QB out of LSwho Jamarcus Russell. This post was either demonstrates your lack of journalistic integrity or your laziness, you pick.
