USC Morning Buzz: When To Shuffle Things?

Other than Tyson Helton’s departure to Tennessee, the USC coaching staff is intact. But the amount of rumors of departures/firings might be unprecedented for a team that won 11 games. Here’s the key: Will any changes be made before Signing Day?

If USC is going to make big changes, will it worry if recruits care? Then again, with only three coaches who actually recruit, maybe it will not matter. All I know is there are rumors every day about staff shuffles.

      • I was reading an article on CBS about recruiting finishes and they think USC will finish #2 on signing day.

        • I hear from a average * rating that is possible. From a total class R.Abrams believes 5-7 depending on number we can sign. I think around 4-5 .Thinking we have between 20/22.
          Kicker and McKenzie are 2018.class count.

        • I’m in..we’re number 2 in avg per recruit already..if we get everyone on the list, we could end up with a very good class.

  1. This all changes the moment JDR is announced as our new head coach, defensive coordinator, special teams coach, DB coach, and offensive line coach. Currently holding breath.

    • Assuming this is all as super secret hush hush as you are suggesting, then you are doing a very poor job of keeping it super secret hush hush.

    • I have not heard anything about JDR in a week last I heard swann and company reached out to him at what capacity who knows.

        • Wow I know his name was brought up for usc. Also heard it’s why certain recuirts signed early

          • Lots of chatter now of Pendy leaving..if true.. Then JDRs hire will go public.. Recruits know whats happening, I remember you shared that, and I was told the same. My intel has been good.. See what happens..

          • Your intel said Clay Helton was stepping down to OC and he was taking head coach position.

          • What?. Intel said JDR will be on staff as OC or Helton would be demoted.. I question that, With Pendy possibily leaving opens up a JDR hire as DC . and as we all know its a HC in waiting hire. Either way Helton is not in Swann’s future plans.. Pendy and Bradford really wouldnt be a huge loss.. Im a wait see kinda guy.. Im not looking for attention.. I get enough at home and give enough.. Im just hoping changes for the better are coming.. Helton is limited in his options with hiring staff.. With JDR we get a great guy with years of contacts from the nfl and cfb.. ..

          • Yep recruits are starting to talk I think you maybe correct with JDR coming as dc. I’m assuming details of contract are being worked out. Explains why Bradford looking for a job. I’m hearing pendergast is gone too, from players.

  2. Solomon Enis telling people he’s waiting to see if a spot opens up at SC…yeah, recruiting is hurting..Hahaha!

      • Thinking twenty when everything washes out..+or- 2. There is a lot of chatter about a big DE out of MO, would be nice get with Trout. And hopefully Solo.

        • Read ‘Helton’ was lookimg at 2 grad transfers for the line…Now I cant find the 247 link.

  3. Steve Spurrier Jr. – WKU QB coach is next to move west…lol!

    USC will be fine…
    “Its the Jimmy;s and Joe’s not the X’s and O’s”
    We have fine talent Right?… ;D

    (Tongue in cheek.)

    Oh Magoo!

  4. LIKE I SAID BEFORE stuff is brewing at USC if your a 5star or 4 star player your crazy to turn down USC this team will win a national championship very soon. then they will keep wining them.
