1Ducker1 No. 52 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Since Pete Carol USC coaches are expendable-- All this hogwash about we need USC to be great makes me laugh. All the PAC needs is 3 or 4 teams from anywhere to be ranked in the top 20. 1 Zona school Utah Oregon Ucla maybe a top 25 Beavis Fuskies??? barf Remember Orgeron won A NC and was fired by The Spoiled Children of the PAC-- 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deschutesduck No. 57 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Orgeron to UW would make sense... he said he was going to take at least a year off from coaching and that's basically what Jimmy did when he was there 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woundedknees No. 58 Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) Could USC be on the cusp of seeing 2023 5* California QB Malachi Nelson commit? "I want to start by thanking all the coaches and staff at OU for seeing enough in me and recruiting me to be a part of Sooner nation," Nelson said in the announcement on Twitter.

Sickness and suffering have given way to health and vitality. Anger and misery have been turned into euphoria and runaway optimism.""Sunday, November 28, 2021 — the day of Riley’s hire — is not yet over. Already, the seismic shift in recruiting caused by this one move is being seen and felt in Oklahoma and Los Angeles. This earthquake is causing a tsunami.""USC is riding the wave.

Guest KingT No. 60 Share Posted November 29, 2021 In three playoff games, Riley is 0-3 and gave up an average of 56 pts per game. He will surge recruiting but he's an unproven coach...Folks, we are not talking about Stoops, or Chip, or Saban, etc. We are talking about a young unproven coach that's had tons of talent and not been able to compete at the highest level. How bout them apples. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty clear that this guy along with a bunch of other Southern California highly rated Oklahoma commits are going to bail on Oklahoma and join Riley at USC. Recruiting in Southern California just got a lot harder. The thing about Riley is that he is like Cristobal in that he recruits and has connections nation wide. He will get the pick of the litter in the Los Angeles area, as well nabbing recruits from Texas, Florida, and everywhere else.

DCDuckfan No. 63 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I think Riley going to USC is a good thing for the Pac-12 and for Oregon. Oregon under MC has been able to out recruit everyone in the conference which has allowed MC to just lean on the athlete advantages he has on the field to compensate for average or below coaching. That officially ends today....he and his staff will be tested on the recruiting trail starting now. If they don't evolve, they will also get exposed in embarrassing fashion on the field in the coaching department. Oregon has a head start on USC regarding recruits, but if MC and his staff don't evolve immediately, USC will take over the conference for the foreseeable future. I fully expect MC to evolve and join the rest of the college football world with an offense that is creative and aggressive....designed to exploit weaknesses of the opponent and not just line up and run over them because we have better athletes...that's not going to be good enough anymore. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His replacement for Moorhead will be a big factor, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDuck No. 65 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Deep pockets at USC, a private school so contract records are sketchy. Clay Helton's buyout was reported at roughly $10 million, offset by a $700,000 annually from Georgia Southern. Todd Orlando's buyout is unknown but he was making $1.7 million at Texas. Figure at least $10 million for the staff. Lincoln Riley made $7.5 million at OU--you know he got a raise. $25 million buyout to Oklahoma. Alex Grinch got $1.4 million at OU, another salary increase plus a buyout to move to LA. $45-50 million in buyouts, figure another $15-20 million annually for Riley and staff. What are the odds that well heeled boosters will think they have a say in how the football program is run? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My couch saw that onside kick coming yesterday, that's poor coaching. We can't close teams out, all year. I hope we beat Utah of course, but recruiting CA just got harder, and what WR wants to go to Oregon? It's good for the Pac, just hope the playoff goes thru the north not the south. That is, if we can not LOSE 1 or 2 gimme games a year. Couple of things: Your couch AND the player waiting for the ball to bounce to him saw the onside kick coming. I'm not sure you've seen it, but I've seen plenty of wide open WRs Brown failed/refused to throw the ball to. Not a few, but quite a few. In my mind, the only WRs leaving are those not getting playing time, because those dudes are burning rubber, leaving smoke in the air, and waiting for a QB willing to throw them the ball ( and we have three very capable and willing kids waiting for their opportunity to hit those wide open passes).

JDuck No. 68 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Maybe a new topic, but I'll be curious to see where USuC's recruiting class will be in 3 weeks, right now they have only 7 (?) commits, lost their one 5-star? Will 5-stars at QB, RB, WR, and some high 4's and even 5's on the D, and O-line shoot them up equal to us by signing day? I will be very curious indeed....

I can’t argue that, but I’m ok with the alternative “Clemson/ACC” approach. I’d rather Oregon have all the talent in the conference and dominate. The lack of a powerful USC hasn’t been an obstacle to Oregon (the opposite would be) getting to the playoff, head-scratching losses to lesser teams/talent have been. Talent is great, we need to coach them up. Bellotti and Chip eras, we thrived with only a handful of 4 stars, and a rare 5 star. USC had years there with top recruiting classes year after year and went 5-7. To win it all we need top recruiting, but in-game coaching and player development long term are just as crucial? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywarduck Moderator No. 73 Share Posted November 29, 2021 The main problem has been talent leaving the Pac-12. JTT leaving, DJU leaving, To'oTo'o leaving and unwilling to come back. With SC in the mix kids will stay and the Pac-12 will be more competitive. Cristobal will have to sharpen his game on and off the field. As he says iron sharpens iron, we need more iron in the Pac-12, there have been too many dawgs laying around. I also have no problem with the beavs being the other good team in the north. The dawgs can win the preseason, but continued disappointment come game time is fine with me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
