That was the joke. You didn't need to make so much effort so we knew you didn't mean it in a gay way. I was going to keep it going with my response to this post, but I figured I'd let you off easy.

Besides, 2 guys can do anything with each other without making it gay as long as they don't tongue kiss. FACT.

That wasn't my tongue...

And I was joking with the “man hug” thing.

For 2 games vs stanford and washington. The other 10 games not so much.

I'll take giving him another shot to see if he can build on that over cutting him a million dollar check to go away.

man can someone please fire guysmiley for writing these ****ing contracts? Is this just how contracts are written and I'm ignorant of that?

We had our OC and OL coach both dip and we got, what, 50k? But if we fire the DC we owe him $1M? WTF

 

[buffaholic]

Are more coaches known than Ski and Summers?

Here’s another article that grades USC hires. Some are good. Some not. Williams is the gem. Not sure about some of the others. https://www.google.com/amp/s/reigno...ootball-grading-trojans-2020-staff-hires/amp/

Vic So'oto is a home run hire.
This article on 247 grades all 6 hires as excellent.

edit: and more importantly, 3 of them happened in the last couple weeks (this month).

USC coaching staff has improved significantly this off-season

Embattled USC head coach Clay Helton made significant improvements to his coaching staff.

is it bad I kinda want us to hire several of the dudes they fired?

Chad Kuhahauhahuahuauhauhuahua would be a sweet DL coach

Johnny Nansen was known as a really good recruiter

and John Baxter I'm pretty sure was a really good ST guy before he apparently fell off the rails.

I'd guess a bunch of these guys are actually good they just had to fall on the sword for Helton to get another year

Noticed RG followed this guy back. Ex-Umass DB coach.



Can someone give my man Steve a job? Make up another off-field staff position if you have to, hell, have his primary job be to subtly take shots at Mel Tucker.

I really hope there is sarcasm in this post. Because if we hire this dude for anything but volunteer intern of water bottle engineering, I may actually be out.

 

[Bear Fiend]

His twitter background is from Office Space. Not sure what other qualifications he needs.

Yeah, watch the Insurance Company ads on the P-12 Net. Men can have weird relationships too.

Landman and others were flying around much better at the end of the year then at the beginning. I think there will be improvement on the D side in the second year of the system. I take the reports that Summers took over the play calling for the last 3 games with a grain of salt, but I'm hopeful, because I liked that aggressive D a whole lot more.

 

[hawg1]

I give zero credence to a change in play calling on D. Need second source.

Adam and Chase did say they heard rumors about it to go with McChesney.

 

[The Alabaster Yak]

I give zero credence to a change in play calling on D. Need second source.

Why? It was clear there was a drastic change in style and aggressiveness in the playcalling. It's really not that far fetched, no matter how much you want to continue schilling for Tucker because he fit your "bbf" narrative.

 

[buffspokerams]

Landman also wasn’t in coverage nearly as much later in the season.

The different schemes and increased aggression later in season point to something happening. I’m hoping it was that Summers took over the play calling.

Maybe. Seems he also got a lot better

 

[The Alabaster Yak]

Maybe a lot more comfortable in the scheme and was able to play faster, but he was not even close to the liability in 2018 that he was for most of the 2019 season. I remember most of us saying that Tucker had turned Landman into a JAG with the scheme

Does Wilson have 4-3 or 3-4 experience? Seems that tidbit maybe important and overlooked so far

 

[buff_fanatic]

Has it past the 24 hour mark?

Looks like they ran a 4-3 in Philly under Schwartz.

I think that the way Akil Jones developed freed up Landman more as the season went along.

Also, it's hard to notice a NT on a lot of plays unless you're looking at it specifically. But I would bet that the ILBs looking better would also have something to do with Sami getting better as the year progressed as a RS-Frosh. So much of a 3-4 defense's success comes down to the equation of whether your 3 can neutralize their 5 - and that all starts with the NT controlling the middle of the LOS.

 

[Buffnik]

He's been mostly a 4-3 guy, but it would shock me if someone with his years of experience doesn't know how to run a 3-man front. So much of the NFL game is multiple on the DL, regardless of base.

 

[CULifer]

its beyond ridiculous that we kept him on staff as a te coach when we didn't use tight ends and he wasn't interested in recruiting.

He and FHCMM were co-dependent.

 

[skibum]

Has it past the 24 hour mark?

Close enough, I think. The word Adam heard was Summers DC, Chev OC, retaining Michalowski.

I think all but Chev at OC has been confirmed.

 

[The Alabaster Yak]

You don't have this kind of resume without understanding just about every defensive front you could possibly run. Non issue.

 

[Bear Fiend]

Can we assume Drew Wilson is not going anywhere?
