Chief of Staff.....how long before the staff gets tired of this idiot and decides to move on? Look at that photo...does he look like an idiot or not? This transfer to Chief of Staff feels like the extra year Riley gave Grinch before he was forced to cut bait....desn't appear he learned anything from that fiasco
Reading the ND message boards, most think this is a big loss and feel ND should have matched
Typical comment on their board:
”I think ND messed this one up. We couldn't match a $1 million salary for one of the biggest power players in the sport and one of the keys to our run to the championship game!?”
can usc trust this guy? I don't want ND having ANYTHING to do with USC. Look at Haden the irish mole. A lot of the blame for this malaise falls on his shoulders. Frankly USC should have looked elsewhere.
That's dumb thinking. Adding a very highly-regarded GM to the SC staff while simultaneously weakening ND is great for SC. But, hey, go ahead and think that the new is a mole for the Irish. Do you know how weak and paranoid that makes you?
Emerick stays anywhere close to this new guy has failure written all over it...almost like Emerick was a DEI hire...nothing he has done has paid any dividends for USC football IMHO...and Riley needs a guy that can handle him to the point of his only job is coaching...
Uh, in pro sports the GM calls the shots and makes major decisions. Most GM's make much less than HC's. I think USC GM will have the same type of authority and C. LR will fall under his command. Hopefully, Bowden and C. LR are able to work together.
I feel and think, C. LR does not have the proper skills running a USC FB program. 2 years of 5 and 6 game losses. I just wish USC finds a way to rid of C. LR and not have to pay his hefty remaining contract. His contract is such a big problem.
As far as Dave Emerick, he loss his posiiton and authority at USC. C. LR can not protect him. Chad Bowden is the GM. Maybe GM Chad Bowden or AD Cohen fires him if Emerick gives Bowden a hard time. If I were Emerick, he had better watch his attitude... Cheers.
USC got him cheap....which raises questions....is he really worth what they are paying him, did USC go cheap, if he is good how long will he stay at that measly amount, what did he do to help ND with their NIL, is he a good judge of talent and does he understand the market..???????
Based upon the current situation in CFB with Revenue Sharing around th corner that was cheap if he is as good as claimed. Expect the GM types to be the next boom in the cost of salaries for CFB...has to happen ...just too many changes happening too quickly for a FB Coach to be able to manage it...it's already happening...GM's making $800k a year is growing and the cost of living in LA more than makes up for the guy in BAMA that makes over $825k a year lives on....
What I said was they got him cheap and that doesn't mean the offer was low. What it means is the value of these types is on the rise and being it's in California where the cost of living is high the price tage wasn't that great since there are guys in the country making $800k or more. If he's as good as claimed $1M is cheap all considering. ...such as cost of living, rising level of importance of the job and the rising salaries for the job...
No, they didn't. If Marcus and ND wanted to match they could. I suspect ND will have a replacement named in short order. I think the ND recruiting can improve and Bowden leaving may help in that end.
lol, this guy getting a lot of hate.

Part of USCs problem is that they have Dave Emerick. He is the GM. He isn’t getting fired. He is Lincoln Riley’s guy.
So I have no idea whether Dave is cool with this. Whether Dave is leaving later. Whether Lincoln will ignore the e new guy
Without clearing out emerick this really sounds like a mess to me
