Does USC need to be meaner to snap out of its doldrums? That’s something I explore in this analysis. Excerpt:
“There’s no one like linebacker Rey Maualuga, who might have generated headlines for hitting a quarterback on the field or a student at an off-campus party. The closest this year’s team got to pushing someone around came when offensive tackle Chuma Edoga shoved a middle-aged official and got ejected.
“In many ways, the Trojans’ persona is a reflection of Helton, the original Mr. Nice. But for the Trojans to snap out of their malaise, some characters need to emerge. Or re-emerge.”
Didn’t Jabari stomp on an Alabama players nuts? That’s pretty mean
Doing stupid things after the whistle blows does not make a great team. Dirty play does not make you a winner
Well, it did work for the Raiders back in the day
It’s just like quitting! You do or you don’t! Being mean or getting meaner is a state of mind and a choice. You can turn it on and off! Apparently, it’s still switched OFF! It’s a choice to quit and not to be mean!
You vote up your own posts ?
Helen up voted me. Shows 1.
Ah
Two players were so mean to a girl that they were kicked off the team.
You were spot on about DMH63. Yesterday he claimed to have race horses, was involved in bringing the Rams back to LA and Magic buying the Dodgers. He also said that his wife had connections to the BOT through a relative even though he had posted earlier that he was single.
The sad thing is, people were buying what he was spewing.
I’m still worried about USC55…did anyone catch anything in the obituaries, or in the local North Las Vegas jail system? I have a strong inclination to believe that DMH knows usc55’s whereabouts.
I’m, sure he can make something up
Yes, get mean, knock people down (legally) and let them know you are coming for more. Do not do anything that gets you penalized. And quit laughing, get serious and learn how to win.
I don’t know Mr. Wolf, when you called Lane Kiffin bland and a few other things he had your on campus press credentials revoked. Oh and that pesky report of injuries as an excuse.
I know you don’t want Mr. Nice to ban you from practices. Lynn Swannnn might agree to do it
EJ Price was mean with a member of the football staff.
More guile and deception.
From this staff ? HAHAHAHAHA
This team wouldn’t even do well at a girl scout cookie sale. No p or vinegar.
If you know anything about coaching, and personalities, then you saw this coming a mile away. Like Bill Parcells said yesterday during an interview when asked why many of his assistant coaches went on to be successful, head coaches. He said the #1 thing he looked for was leadership skills, and that’s why USC has failed with their last three hires. The team usually takes on the personality of the head coach, which is why the Trojans are soft, indecisive, and lack direction.
So hiring a slimy narcissist, a drunk and Mr Rogers wasn’t a good idea ?
Lmao. …you can see the results of that question, right before your eyes.
Maybe the next guy will be a slimy narcissistic drunken nice guy, that’s almost fits Petrino !
Hey, it’s not like SoCal paid them a lot of money……
There is a difference between being a physical team and being mean. The former is something that is practiced from day one and instilled into the team by the coaching staff. It is a philosophy choice that is worked on constantly. It is not something that you just decide you want to be on certain Saturday’s throughout the season. Mean is an undisciplined quality that can be thrown in at the last minute due to frustration and lack of preparation. UCLA is a good case in point. The Bruins have gone from being a very soft team to being middle of the road tough. I am not a Mora fan, but I do give him props for changing the culture in Westwood. They still have a ways to go. But noone can dispute that UCLA has a tougher football team than USC.
The longer Helton remains here the more behind the team & player development will fall behind where they should be. Look at the game tapes of this season and you will see a team playing below its ability & talent. You put a Tom Herman or Mark Diantonio in charge, you would see the difference. The big question is, will Nikias pony up with the money to bring in a head coach worthy of USC football?
Herman’s buyout is not something I doubt Lynn Swann will want to package in his offer. The buyout is $5 mil. and Diantonio’s is higher. A USC site is saying “if” USC doesn’t offer Miles, Swann will hit the NFL or Asst coaches with HC experience.The USC chatroom I am in with former USC players and other alums are saying Lynn will get Miles or a NFL guy! It will happen soon!
Look who’s back, Mr Racehorse owner. Mr. ” I was in on the Rams moving to LA and helping Magic buy the Dodgers. ” Are you still single or did you get married last night ? You can’t seem to keep that straight.
You have no inside info about anything.
YOU’RE A LIAR AND A FRAUD
And you are an AHOLE .. Go dip your d*ck in something you worthless troll. I am married, I am who I say I am, the reason I said the other, as I got tired of the BS from the ucla idiots. They claim I am some dude from Cal Poly and Vegas. My contacts run 46 years at USC.. I grad in 86. went back and got my law degee. Sadly someone you, the trolls act childish like you try and be the blog bullies.. To me you are nothing but miserable, I have done ok. I am well respected in USC circles. I worked hard. Something I am proud of. Being real shouldn’t be a crime.
Remember, Nikias wants someone that “Knows USC”, whatever the hell that means.
Several have said, Kelly and some favor Del Rio. One former player said OC Greg Schianno (spl) and some convo on Pola and Cowher.
They are not hiring anyone anytime soon, so sit back on your private special chat with all the insiders and be patient. This isn’t Haden in charge now.
Steveg .. Wanna bet ?
What is your bet?
Stomping on another player’s southern front seems pretty mean. Lotta good that did’ja.
You have anonymous blog posters and a plump blogger asking that real substantive players be more aggressive. Laughable really.
What happened to Wannstadt, Gruden, Fisher, (already in town). You guys come up with names like these guys would drop everything to come clean up the mess that is USC football. Get the house in order with some credibility and stability first.
❌Wannstadt
✅Gruden is unrealistic
❌Fisher is a mess
Cleaning house involves throwing out what you don’t want. In order to establish cred and stability, it starts at the top. New coach who has an identity!
That’s what these dolts can’t get through their head, SC has NO ONE competent to take over if they can Gomer. Now if Gruden was willing to take the gig, then you can Gomer today, but I don’t see that happening.
Gruden would be the home run, but he’s signed to ESPN till 2021. Are those contracts tough to to get out of?
Gruden’s contract demands and Espn buyout wouldnt work. Plus he would want full control of the fb program. Not going to happen!
There goes that
Gruden makes 6.5 million a year, maybe, since ESPN doesn’t release contact details. One would imagine that there is a buy out clause, but no one knows but Gruden and ESPN.
And if you keep believing what DMH the liar and fraud says, I’ve got some ocean front property in Kansas to sell you
Grudens out.
If we could navigation Grudens contract (2021) We should hit him up. Seems out of reach.
They need to start acting like Frankenstein.
And rebel against their maker?
Would that make USC fans the angry villagers coming with pitchforks and torches for Dr. Heltonstein? Or Dr. Hadenstein?
Yes, Doctor, it would.
Something tells me they are already rebeling against the maker.
You can now add Jeff Fisher to the list.
❌ Fisher is a mess‼️
Throw that one out in the county dump!
Lol..
Please no Fisher.
No.. Lol.. I was talking to a client from USC who shared Jeff was unhappy with Sneed and the Goff pick, JF wanted a Wentz and Sneed wanted Goff. Jeff is a great guy, but his time with the Rams has passed. Same like Miles at LSU .. You get burned out and either quit or get fired ..
I don’t see Jeff with the enthusiasm to coach in college.
Ditto!
Me too.
LOL, You really expect USC to hire Kelly ? Which one, the ND clown or the blimp with the 49ers ? Maybe you mean Tom Kelly, he’s dead but he’d be the best choice of the 3 Kelly’s.
When was the last time USC made a home run hire, Howard Jones ? And don’t say PC because at the time, he was an out of work assistant.
This from a Rah-Rah who believes Andyain’twinning’s Pac-12 conf. W/L record and NCAA BB tournament ONE & DONE record make Andyain’twinning a winner.
Go play with your little truck and your small peas….
#where’schuckiebuggs
You can quit stomping your feet! You’re angry because he took your ball!
Ummmmm…..Yes.
If only the mad hatter could actually field an offense/QB that can score.
Fu** it, go in on Mike Dantonio. At least feel him out.
Is Peyton Manning interested in a Coaching Gig?
Neither ” gets USC ” though Herman is from Simi Valley
Jeeezus!! how much meaner can the Trojans get? I mean, having 2 players arrested for rape in 2 different states, doesn’t that qualify as being mean? SMH
Best to take a long look and a long list of the best and highest price talent out there esp. that currently or recently in the NFL.
Best in college right now not tied to a top tier program is Bobby Petrino with the reality of what and who he is – next is Briles.
