Kick ass presser update
There is definitely a new attitude and new leadership at USC.
This was the most important quote from the press conference: “My intent is to listen, to learn and to lead, in that order.”
This is directly opposite the attitude of Lynn Swann, who never tried to learn how to be an athletic director.
“I am immensely passionate and energetic,” Bohn said.
Again, a direct contradiction from Swann’s attitude. Unless he was on a golf course.
So USC can only get better from an athletic director standpoint. And Carol Folt made clear USC benefits from hiring people with outside experience. Also a plus.
Folt said there would be no limitations on who Bohn can hire. I hope this is true because it would go against what she has said privately when she described Urban Meyer as “radioactive” and there was a snag during negotiations regarding Meyer, according to sources. -
There was a time when I recall people saying that the one job Urban would leave any other job for was Notre Dame. It is clear that Kelley is Chris Petersen. He made them competitive but they are never going to repeat what they did under slober mouth with Kelley. Which surpises me because Kelley was a good coach at Cincy. What is not clear to me is whether the ND power brokers care to be at that level or not. One thing Holtz did at ND was get the admission standards relaxed so he could bring in players like Ricky Waters. Will they do that again? IDK, but that's the move you're making when you hire Meyer. He is all football and nothing else.RaceBannon said:https://insideusc.blog/2019/11/07/mike-bohn-carol-folt-press-conference-analysis/

wait...so Folt and Bohn are actively talking about hiring a new guy while Helton is still coaching?
what a fucking clown show -
USC sending out "feelers" and openly discussing options while sending out a "dead man walking" coach each week.Meek said:wait...so Folt and Bohn are actively talking about hiring a new guy while Helton is still coaching?
what a fucking clown show
1) This sends out a pretty bad message to any coach interested in that job
2) This will likely send the recruiting from bad to cratering.
3) They basically showed their hand, and now any coach that interviews can leverage the crap out of them, because it means Meyer and Franklin are off the table.
Fight on!
