Answer Monday! (Part 3)
We are still mulling nicknames for you-know-who.
Q: Trojan Conquest said:
In your "Grading the Program" after a whole week of Kiffin you graded Recruiting a B+. It would help to know how you will grade this after signing day. What scale are you using? Here's mine:
A+ Top 5
A Top 6-10
B+ Top 11-15
B Top 16-20
F anything over 20
A: I don't think 11-15 would be a B+ because USC had 14 commitments when he got hired and was extremely close on several other players. Plus when USC usually has a top 5 class and Kiffin is supposed to be a great recruiter, I think the scale needs to be a little tougher.
Q: Peter Parker said:
Is Patrick Hall enrolled at USC and how is he recovering from his injury? Thank you
A: He is enrolled. Doctors have not cleared him for spring practice. A more likely scenario is training camp.
Q: LV Trojan said:
Scott: Seeing how important the offensive coordinators position is, I would have thought that Kiffin would have had at least two good additional candidates outside of Norm Chow (which I could never get my head around Chow coming back). It's certainly important for recruiting the offensive recruits. I'm beginning to believe that Kiffin will name himself and add another coach to assist him, maybe a quarterback coach. What do you think?
A: Lane Kiffin will call plays so that limits who he can hire as offensive coordinator and means a big-name candidate is highly unlikely. Someone along the lines of Jim Chaney (who will remain at Tennessee) is more likely now.
So you gave him a B+. What is that, 6-10? What's an A+ versus an A? A+ #1 in the country, A 2-5? I'm OK with that.
nickname for Lane Kiffin: well based on his driving record in Tennessee, how about "Sleepy"?
Coach O could be "Grumpy"
Monte could be "Doc"
Garrett as "Dopey"
Barks could be aka Snow White. the possibilities seem never ending...
Scott
I think you are being a little too unrealistic with recruiting grades.
In the midst of a coaching change, generally bad press regarding said change and potential NCAA sanctions (remember, EVERY opposing coach is likely telling recruits "Don't go to SC, they're going to get hammered."), I think a top 10 class should be an A and a top 5 class should be an A+
you have to keep context in mind when you grade the class.
and BTW, I think SC will be fine in regards to the NCAA
.....and Charlie Bucket would be Tinkerbell the fairy.
Victory Lane!
Since he's cheaper than Pete, Penney Lane
That's pretty sloppy. It's just a secondary violation, but it's a violation nonetheless. He worries me.
Easy... Lil Lane. "Smoke week, talk *&^% like Lane Kiffin."
known to ride with several tipsy co-eds, Kiffin is.
therefore, Car Pool Lane, he should be.
herh herh herh.
Lane Kiffin, starring in "Octavius, Leader of Troy" ...
"The young Octavius came into his inheritance after Caesar's assassination in 44 BC ... "
Only one nick name is suitable. It is the diminutive "Lil'Kif".
Diminutive in manner, body language, energy, success, length of coaching tenures, etc.
T-Man,
Spot on!
DFW,
Victory Lane it is.
How about "Little Caesar"
Pizza! Pizza!
para's..........I like it. Glad to see there are educated students of history on this blog and not just some fucla losers.
what about "the boy wonder" ?
slippery: little caesar that's a winner-winner chicken dinner!!
and wolf gets to keep using his favorite all time nickname. genius, pure unadulterated genius.
