He is awful, was flipping channels today's and saw he was on so I stopped and watched for 45 min.
His phones were down so his show consisted of him saying our phones are down and replaying audio bites from other shows.
In sorry but if you rely on callers to run your show you're not a good radio guy.
Based on what, assumptions about the general state of college football relationships with the justice system or actual knowledge about Willie Meggs?
Because Meggs doesn't give a fuck and will not let that drive his decision. If anything, he is more likely to err on the side of charging because Winston is a big name. Even if he wasn't under a microscope he would not hesitate to charge a starffootball player with a crime if he feels the evidence is there.

Reunite him with Mazzone lol. Orgeron is not a good HC though. He was BRUTAL at Ol'Miss. 8 games doesn't erase that.
TPD has no more decision making involvement in the case.
If Meggs feels like the evidence justifies it, Winston will absolutely be charged.
Petros' take on the USC hiring: http://www.am570radio.com/media/pod...22-petros-perspective-on-usc-hiring-24039390/
Graham fell under my "or will be gone sometime soon" exception.
I don't share your opinion on those other 3 retreads, though I wouldn't dispute that Leach and Mora are clearly upgrades over their predecessors.
While it makes sense that the Pac-123219320 would do everything possible to make sure its most successful program wasn't, and of course stipulating that Larry Smith and John Robinson had periods of success, USC has only made 1 great coaching hire in the past 20-25 years (Pete Carroll), so I don't really know what to believe.
Also imo the Oregon and Washington schools gave up the most (a guaranteed game in the Southland every season).
:jnc
Jim Mora must win his bowl game and 10 games next year or he's on the hot seat. UCLA should compete for Rose Bowl appearances yearly. /Nestor
Yeah, Graham is probably going to Texas. Dick Rod is coaching at a basketball school, so incremental improvement is probably good enough there, IMO.
Even with Maguire, the only team I'd be afraid of is Bama. Saban getting that much time is always scary as is but the fact he would probably have a working knowledge of Pruitt's D wouldn't help (of course the inverse is also true).
FSU has at worst the second best D in the country, the best Kicker in the country, by far the best WR corps in the country and one of the best OL and RB groups. Pound for pound, our talent just surpasses every other team. There's enough there to win without Jameis. On the plus side, I don't think that'll be an issue as there is just no real proof of a crime.

I'm ok with Ohio State getting the nod for the BCS. I think ANY team that goes against FSU will get slaughtered, so it doesn't matter much.
Hyde and Braxton will score lots of points on us. Our defense is great but not greatenough to shut down that duo. I think tOSU should be favorites if we don't have Winston, but I think we would win 2/5.

Petersen leaving would be pretty hilarious.
Big East/American conference has to feel good about not bending to Boise's demands. Their reign may be about over. Especially if they lose Petersen in a close enough recruiting area.

Well, he's not wrong on that one, considering all we have to do for a chance at that each year is be better than Southern Cal and the non-Pacific Pacific conference teams.

You don't think ASU will use their new Pac 12 TV money to retain one of the most successful coaches in school history? A guy who is coaching at his dream job?
UCLA hasn't won a conference title in what, 15 years? Are we sure that contending for conference titles is a realistic goal? Maybe UCLA is the West Coast Nebraska.

I can't tell if this is a serious post or not. They will try to use the TV money, but they can't compete with Texas. The guy calling it his dream job is laughable at best.

That's why I couldn't tell if the post was serious
The second sentence clearly wasn't, but the first sentence was a reasonable thought!

Never!!!!
Right now he's punching at "Mike Stoops 'good' season" weight. Maybe he can be more, but that's where he's at right now.
He is at least a clean break from Mike Stoops' mired era of mediocrity.
I would like UCLA to get to that point, and I don't think it's an impossible dream, but the program still needs further purging (and the whole athletic department, tbh) before that's even a realistic goal. Before Mora senior ditch day was an annual tradition for UCLA football. -_-
Came here to post this, complete bull shit.
Oh well, he might get 25 tackles this week now.
Also updated my avatar for our stretch run.

Let me tell you a little something about the Weasel Tood Graham. He said his last job was his dream job.

Orgeron has to go to Oregon just to cause every copy editor in the state to commit suicide

Did you not see the link I posted?
Well yeah, it's probably not realistic as long as they have one of the worst Athletic Directors in the country, but there's no reason they have to always have an incompetent clown running their athletic department. It shouldn't be that hard to compete for a conference championship when you have as many inherent advantages as UCLA. It's like a trust fund baby going bankrupt... someone has to screw up really badly for that to happen.
Yeah, DickRod is still in the honeymoon period. We'll see how it goes in the future but it's not a bad hire yet.

UW players saying that Tosh (not Kiffin) and Wilcox are going with Sark to USC.
I think the only possible way for Mora to get Guerrero fired would be by hosting an illicit orgy with him or something.
He can fire Mazzone though. That dude sucks at designing an offense.

That would be a mean thing to do just before he bolts to UW.

Not really. Doing everyone a favor
Yeah, that's been the assumption up here, radio guys were reporting it a while ago. Implication is that Wilcox was not offered the HC job here.
Mora fired his running backs coach today. itshappening
Haden playing Nth dimensional chess while Dan Guerrero samples Mediterranean cruises. :bow
Interesting. I never paid attention to the hiring process when Pete came in after the NFL.

They tried to hire Mike Riley and Dennis Erickson back then.
Here's a USC site blog posts from the 2010 search:
http://www.conquestchronicles.com/2010/1/10/1243638/mike-riley-is-not-the-answer-for
Funny how many of the same names were bandied about back then, Gruden, Jack Del Rio, Petersen.
And there is this from 2000 when they hired Pete:
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/college/news/2000/12/15/usc_carroll_ap/
USC tried to get Erickson, Bellotti, and Riley. They wanted someone who was a proven winner at the collegiate level and instead ended up with an NFL washout. The entire search lasted from November 27th until December 14th.
Hell they even tried to get Sonny Lubick from Colorado State: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/college/news/2000/12/12/lubick_usc_ap/
Orgeron is a D-line coach...so yeah.
Edit: Apparently Clempson OC Chad Morris is "very interested" in the job...
Hard to believe the season is over for the Gators...in November.... This is a new low. Yet, what is this bs I'm reading about us looking for a new OC? Shouldn't we be looking for a new everything? No way Muschump is back. No fucking way, right? Slapping a 3rd OC in 4 years in there is NOT going to fix the problem. Schematic Advantage and Peasey couldn't make this terrible offense worthwhile, so why would a third OC? What worthy OC would even take that job knowing Muschamp is on borrowed time? This is a fucking joke if true. PEACE.

Yeah, that's crazy to me, too. Good luck finding another coach that can accomplish half of what Grobe did at Wake.

Texas should look at Orgeron. Greg Robinson has done a decent job so far, and should be in consideration for the permanent D Coordinator position, but since he was an interim, other coaches should be taken into consideration with a full interview process.

Kiffin could really make the Gata offense sing. Plus he's available!

It might also be a Miami Heat related shooting, if you read the article.
Or could just be the booze shooting.
