with even just an average defensive coordinator that would have taught fundamentals and maybe even bothered to recruit on SC's name alone, and God forbid not EMBARRASS the fawk out of the University.
He speaks.
Lincoln Riley On Rebuilding USC Football
“You know, you come in here day one, and you’re trying to, in a lot of ways, just starting to teach these guys how to compete and what championship habits look like. I mean, you’re starting from the complete ground floor on everything. We’ve learned a lot of things, we’ve grown in a lot of ways and that’s why we’re at this game and why we’re an 11-win team and we’re two plays different from being who knows where?
“But there’s still so much more to go to be in that position where you close out a conference championship game or you win a big bowl game like this or win a semifinal game or win a national championship, right. It’s a lot of us in that staff from, I’ve seen it and we’ve won, it’s been a lot of times. We’ve made just a couple of more than the other one and a half times when we haven’t won and it’s been right there.
“That’s what’s painful about it … I think we’ve made a lot of big jumps this season to get over that hump. (But it’s) equally as challenging as just getting this thing started like we all did this year. And so it’ll be a big challenge.
“But we know what we’re doing. We know the areas that we have to get better. We know the things that we have to address. We’ll spend a lot of time on it and get some clarity, let this one kind of soak in and get past it. And we’ll go back to work.
“We didn’t come here for a one-year deal, we knew that it wasn’t when we signed up to come to USC. So this one hurts but also it gives complete clarity on what we need to do next, and that’s go back to work and keep building and developing our program.”
so much for being able to retire the nick 162. it just got a lot bigger.
Oh well. My concern was that the Oklahoma fans' warning that 208 was just a quarterback whisperer and offensive genius , but not a real head coach who didn't give a shit about defense and could never be bothered with special teams , were all true. Hoping it was mostly just hate. bummer.
NO 208. Your defensive coordinator DOESN'T know what he is doing. HE SUCKS. And YES, 208, Special teams is important and can be the difference in ball games. Did you MISS THAT? Does the UNCOACHED Mario mean anything to you? Some idea? Any idea? Do you know this is ALSO part of the YOUR JOB.
Not having safety help on Tulane's second to last TD should have been enough for you to fire The Grinch's worthless ass. Tell me 208. How much would you drool over another D coordinator presenting you with that?
Oh well. Here is my predictions for next season. You may have read this before. See last summer.
Going to score a lot of points. Going to give up a lot of points. Be fun to watch. Season will have hope as long as Caleb stays upright. and WON'T WIN JACK SHIT. again, bummer. sc
Oh gonna predict 8-4 again? Well you were wrong rhem you’ll be wrong again
btw here’s a secret. Lincoln Riley isn’t confident. He’s actually making it up as he goes along. True story. He is going after All. But he’s selling himself as much as he’s trying to sell you. I’ll post more later how I know but after years of coaching. Playing. Business. Sales. I recognize the signs. Doesn’t mean he can’t make it but he’s not convinced.

I am wondering what Bohn is going to do without Brandon Sosna. Who was really running things? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Pathetic coach speach bullshit. I warmed you that Bohned is a limp wristed piece of shit. No NIL strategy. Not holding 208 to a standard. USC Football is still a very much dead.
SKI ON!
this shit sounds like the same crap that came out of helton's mouth. Not as much as changed as people want to presume. USC has another huge buy out on its hands.
