Why did you leave out the fact you're irrelavant? For a SC guy you sure like to use UCLA as your barometer for success. You cannot post without using those 4 letters LOL. nd
Why not compare him to the 2 best Trojan coaches at the same point in their collective careers- Carroll and McKay?
Hill was a damn good coach. Took us to the 1953 Rose Bowl where USC became the first PCC school to beat the Big 10 in the Rose Bowl. Selective stats can be misleading. 3 of those loses were in South bend in late November early decmber. USC went 40 years between wins in south bend due to the winter games . Just another why all doners should burn in hell. The most corrupt hypocritical football program in the country. They are now irrelevant. Have been for 30 years. In the period ND had zero national championships zero Heismans and now big six bowl wins. USC has 2 natties, 4 Heismans and 9 New Year's Day bowl wins in that same period.
