Scott, as a reporter, do you agree with the Football Writers Association of America that USC has one of the "Super 11" sports information departments, deemed the best in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision during the 2010 season based on how press boxes/operations were run, the quality and timeliness of information provided, the amount of information presented and appropriately updated on websites, personal responsiveness to media inquires as well as the accessibility of players, head and assistant coaches and that they went the extra mile in servicing the media?
A: Uh, sure.

Scott, in your opinion, is O-line coach James Cregg in the same league in effectiveness as Tim Davis who was available but not contacted by Kiffin and recently signed on with Utah? The O-line is the major question mark for this years' team and Davis showed he could build a great O-line for PC.
A: Tim Davis has a proven track record but sometimes you have to go with someone in your comfort zone. I was surprised that Tim Davis' name surfaced when Lane Kiffin was hired because Davis did not enjoy working with Kiffin when they were on the staff together.
I would also add that I believe the current regime (which means everyone) arrived slightly naive about the line situation and quickly learned about the depth shortages, etc. This will be the biggest question mark of the season and some true freshmen are going to need to play.
That's why they come to you Scott for answers. "Uh sure".
Scott, I asked you if Cregg was in the same level of coaching effectiveness as Davis and you ignored it completely.
