kirklandduck Moderator No. 1 Share Posted July 22 Deion Sanders represents ideal USC replacement for Lincoln Riley, Paul Finebaum argues 247SPORTS.COM Finebaum explains why Coach Prime in Los Angeles would be a home run. As a Duck fan I’d love for this to happen. It sounds like a couple people joking over beers and saying, “Come on, it’ll be funny…” 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marsh No. 2 Share Posted July 22 I have to agree but for some slightly different reasons. Lincoln Riley is a Perfect Fit for USC and That’s Their Problem |... FISHDUCK.COM It has been absolutely delightful as Duck fans to watch USC’s problems, not only this year but over more than... Just change out this article being about Riley for Sanders. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Ducky No. 4 Share Posted July 23 I’m laughing, sorry. Prime might be the perfect guy for the LA area. Fits in nice with the egos in that town. And wow think of the top grade trash talkers that we might see. A match made in heaven. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Joseph Moderator No. 7 Share Posted July 23 (edited) Paul Finebaum is doing all he can to get Riley fired. What's his beef with Riley? Does he want SC to defeat LSU in the opener? Does he send bales of hay to Traveler? Does he walk around humming 'Figth On?' Would Deion be able to recruit high school kids to SC? He isn't doing the job in Boulder. The young lady's swing above hits too close to home and below the belt. Entertaining post, thanks. But another article that proves CFB has a loooooonnnngggg off-season.

Good points on where the bar is set, anything north of 2 wins was acceptable in year 1 at CU. It will be interesting to see what happens after year 2 if he goes 4-8 in the B12. CU soaked it all up last year, but even they will lose patience at a certain point. Loses his QB after this year and the recruiting is pretty much at garbage level in 2025. Not sure how many times you can portal in 37 3 stars and be any good. Edited July 23 by JabbaNoBargain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywarduck Moderator No. 10 Share Posted July 23 All great ideas for sc and they will undoubtedly hire another real whiner once the shine comes of the turd Riley truly is. As for Sanders he is destined to be the next Cleveland Browns head coach. Although Stefanski is a great coach he will leave soon for a better franchise. I mean NFL Coach of the Year, and Cleveland Browns Franchise just doesn't go together for very long. Sanders will join the long line of failed coaches in Cleveland. Everyone knows Sanders next stop is the NFL. He said he was staying at Jackson State, now love's his cowboy hat and Colorado, but he hasn't quite reached his pinnacle of incompetence quite yet, the NFL calls soon. In the end Sanders will end up as an NFL announcer once again. He can talk all he wants, and never have to worry about whether he is right, wrong, or be held accountable. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeotechDuck No. 13 Share Posted July 24 Hmmmm. Seems like exactly something USC would do. Get rid of a coach that is struggling to recruit and plug holes in his porous offense and defensive lines……and replace him with a coach that is struggling to recruit and plug holes in his porous offense and defensive lines……for more money. USC has some of the some problems that they had under Helton with a better offense (and Caleb Williams) masking some of those gaps. At one point USC had 21 highly ranked DBs on their roster but somehow couldn’t find a few 3* lineman that were capable enough to stop teams from running at a clip of 7 yards per carry. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevada Dawg No. 16 Share Posted August 1 And SC follows suit by flipping a Georgia commit the very next day (or two) later. The Georgia player flipping saw the stacked DB room at Georgia and had been seeking other pastures since late Spring. As the SC flip was also a DB, this comes across pretty much as a trade with Georgia getting the player more willing to come in and compete for a job--Kirby's kind of guy. As for the theme of this post, I would take a move by SC to hand the reins over to Prime as an indication that the Trojans were in the early phases of de-emphasizing football. How could a once proud program be so cavalier? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

New USC transfer receiver is a mystery with hard-to-define upside TROJANSWIRE.USATODAY.COM It will be fascinating to see what USC can do with this new transfer. I'm not trying to poo-poo division 3 athletes... Nor am I trying to say there isn't some talent at the Division 3 level. But are the Trojans that desperate that they need help from the Division 3 level? This feels more like an Oregon State move than what should be a USC move. This player may turn out to be a huge diamond in the rough... but that would be super surprising to everyone. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
