Co-special teams coordinators?
They both have other titles.

FIFY Clancy at U$C? How long before "Legend in his own Mind" Pendergast PO's the rest of the staff?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 drunken Palazzo (is there any other kind?) 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.
"Long snap coach"They both have other titles.
No wonder our special teams has been so bad lately. We haven't had nearly enough coaches!"Long snap coach"
"Kick holder coach"
"Fake punt coach"
"Hands team coach"
"Squib/pooch/drop/coffin corner/onside/rugby kick coach"
"Go for two coach"
And I had been thinking that the problem was that we had one coach too many.No wonder our special teams has been so bad lately. We haven't had nearly enough coaches!
In the realm of things that make you go Hmmm, local sports guys have brought up Brady Hoke as a possible DC candidate at Oregon. Not sure that I get that one. Might turn out great but he's never been a coordinator.
Pendergast back at USC as DC, as discussed earlier.
And a big deal for UCLA we'll likely know about tomorrow:
Are we totally done with changes? I think we did what we had to do, but was hoping for more. O-line is one of the (maybe the only) position groups where you can take c talent and make something good out of it with coaching. That is obviously not happening. Would have loved to see a change there.
Dumb. Very dumb. Not a bad guy to have as an assistant coach (very good recruiter), but the guy is not who you want coordinating and game planning.
Damn. I really wish we would have brought him to CU. Hopefully, MMac has someone else in mind. Similar to when he ignored my request to hire Gibbs and he went with Leavitt.Looks like wickline to West Virginia.

This will obviously be unpopular, but to do a degree, yes?Uhhh what? Football comes before the death of one's father?
He signed up for this. I can guarantee he is at the coaching convention and going about his normal coaching duties.... and rightfully soUhhh what? Football comes before the death of one's father?
