Stability is important in a program. Can't keep firing coaches. Need 4-5 years to build and change culture.

The transfer portal does no good in achieving this, unfortunately.
For real. USC has been very unstable. Fired Kiffin & Sark after only a couple years each I think. Can't do that or you'll never build a winner.

They fired Helton after only 2 games this season, but it was his 7th season there however. If you can't get it done after 7 years....I think you probably deserve to get fired.

Counterpoint: that situation might just help out stable teams, like say the one we like. So that’s good.

Yeah, but I also think you're gonna have a tough time building a winner keeping Kiffykins and Sark. :57:

Maybe Kiffin has matured and Sark has sobered up, and they're different guys today... But they weren't then.

They need to adhere to Yogi Berra's stock advice.

But a stock, wait til it goes up, and sell it.

What if it doesn't go up?

Don't buy it.

Oh no doubt that's true. But then it just goes to show they botched those hires in the first place by hiring an immature jerk off and a guy who was struggling with substance abuse. If you're going to pay millions of dollars a year to an employee, best to vet the shit out of him. I would think.
