Title: OT: Lynn Swann out as AD at USC
Post by: Mdot21 on September 09, 2019, 04:29:37 PM
does this mean bye bye Clay Helton, hello Urban Meyer? wouldn't shock me. Urban would no doubt win another MNC if he goes to USC imo.

I think they need to go outside of the "USC guy" thing this time.

that worked great for them when they got Pete Carroll.

Doubt they get Urban. I'd love to see it. Only thing this really means is Clay Helton is finito. I'd be shocked if Helton kept the job at the end of the year, even if 'SC has a winning record.

The boosters are looking to end the Helton era already. The guy they want to offer the job to is already in LA, doing highlight shows right alongside Fox Sport’s Brady Quinn and Matt Lienart.

Only hang up with USC hiring Urban Meyer is both parties are plagued with scandal. Normally one or the other having baggage wouldn’t sandbag the job search, but both riddled with socially sensitive scandals will bring out rage from the social justice warrior types hoping to hijack the process.

Easy money in the studio as opposed to the sideline.Urbz got enough coin for the grand kids lives.He said a while back and most coaches agree - recruiting is the crux of the deal

Such bigger problems for USC than what will they do about Helton.   They are getting sued left and right, by former coaches,  scandals abound.

Plus any new hire will look good compared to what Chip Kelly has done in LA...

This feels like Urban's pre-Ohio State stint with ESPN.

I'd be very surprised if he took a HC position again.Sam pointed out last year he had a cyst(in his head) removed in 2014.At least twice he had episodes of pain on the sidelines last year.So he would be ignoring that moving forward or perhaps embellishing that looking back(which I would hope is not the case

Chip Kelly isn't a very good coach, period.

He thrived at Oregon because he had Uncle Phil's money plus competent assistants.

And a street agent in Texas, Correct?

Chip Kelly WAS a good coach at Oregon, but the college version 2.0 of him is not for a few reasons:

His offense is longer innovative or unique, most every DC in the nation sees a variant of what he used to run at Oregon on a semi regular basis or has tons of tape and info on how to prepare for it.

Yes, he had advantages recruiting at Oregon but he still knew exactly what type of players to target for his scheme and typically developed them well enough. At UCLA because of his stubbornness in not hiring assistants he doesn't have much of a prior relationship with, he doesn't have any solid recruiters on his staff which is why UCLA hasn't been tearing it up on the recruiting trail. He'll still get a couple big fish here and there but he'll never build a roster like he had at Oregon.

Chip was a great coach. I think going to the NFL and failing so badly there shattered his confidence. It happens. People who were once great can fall off into mediocrity. He lost his momentum, he lost his edge, and as others have said the rest of CFB has caught up to his once innovative offensive schemes. He hasn’t evolved his scheme and all the DC’s in the sport have caught up to him. It happens. The truly great coaches continuously evolve in order to stay great. Chip just hasn’t evolved.

His biggest gaffe was taking the Bruin job right before the Oregon job came open.

And at the same time, handle it with kid gloves.
