Yeah. Students start returning this week to handle all their registrar stuff, get moved in, and on Friday to enroll in classes. Classes begin a week from Monday.
One would think that it would be important to have the spring S&C program in place yesterday.
Wouldn't be disappointed.
already posted in the Neinas thread, but here you go:
SIAP, but Arizona fired their DC and DL coach according to ESPN.

I wonder if that paves the way for Justin Wilcox to Oregon. He is an alum.

Mentions John Neal (internal promotion), Clancy Pendergast (from the 49ers) and Jerry Azzinaro (from the Eagles) as possible replacements.

Clay Helton is underwhelming so far in putting his staff together at USC (just my opinion).
A lot more coaching changes coming in the assistant ranks. Musical chairs all around.

I suppose I'll wait to see who Todd Graham's replacement hires are before I make a final judgment on this, but the departure of Chip Long and Chris Ball to Memphis to join Norvell seems like a diminished threat to recruiting competition.
That's how I've felt about it. But maybe the problem a lot of times at places like USC is that they spend too much time and money chasing big name hires who make a splash in the LA Times and then those guys bring too much ego to have a functional coaching staff. Seems to me that they might be getting back to fundamentals (blocking & tackling, as they say) while figuring that USC pretty much markets and recruits itself when they're winning.
Heck, a group of Allbuffs all-stars could sign a Top 25 class to USC. So there's something to that strategy if they look like an in sync, well-coached team this coming season.
What? Nepotism isn't the best move?
Justin Wilcox went to Oregon ...

You are back? I was hopeful that you had decided to share your wisdom with another unfortunate program.
On a coaching staff, it seems to work out. Stoops/Pelini/Petrino brothers, Bowden/Paterno/Snyder and sons, etc.
Sometimes. Sometimes not. Kiffin son/papa, Briles/Lebby papa-in-law/son-in-law, Graham papa/son, Bernardi/LaRussa papa-in-law/son-in-law, etc.
Which, in the final analysis, simply means that it doesn't matter other than the fact that some people get their panties in a bunch over it.
Yes, and his brother is on local sports radio. Edit - article mentions him as well but doesn't sound like the author thinks he's realistic.
Fill it.

That really is not the basis of my observation. USC is a program that can go out and get top coaching talent. Plucking coaches from Western Kentucky did not impress me. But time will tell if it works out.

Let me rephrase: How do we fill it? Another offensive assistant (what I'd do) or another ST coordinator.
Ugh
Oregon State hires Utah State's Kevin Clune as DC and Weber State's Cory Hall as LB coach. Both have worked with Andersen before.
USC: Former Trojans special teams coordinator John Baxter, who spent this past season at Michigan, has been announced as the new special teams coordinator at USC.
Arizona State: Todd Graham has formally announced the hire of Kodi Burns as running backs coach.
Utah: Sharrieff Shah and Justin Ena will serve as co-special teams coordinators, the program has announced.
