USC Adds A Playoff WR

[@ckfromthebay]

Hi Marc, great episode and thanks for selecting my comment to read! I do agree with you that the Minnesota and Maryland losses should not have occurred. We had a lead in both games and one could point to two key moments where things shifted (Joyner fumble against MN and missed FG against MD) but nonetheless we needed to close them out and did not. I do think our Achilles heel in 2024 was the defensive line and to a lesser degree special teams and improvement in both should lead to more wins. I also think a more experienced offensive line will provide better consistency as well. When rewatching games, not only did the OL have difficulty sustaining blocks in both the run and pass but there were so many throws dropped by wide open receivers that could have kept the chains moving.

Marc is a true SC alumnus.

Marc, I didn't anticipate getting your attention. Here's a thought based on today's episode. If Coach Lynn is offered and takes the PSU job, I suggest the pivot of elevating Coach Henny to DC (he has to want a DC job then HC [somewhere]). Coach Henny then makes the splash hire by bringing Aaron Donald (I know he hasn't coached but everyone likes a splash). Recruiting would surely likely elevate. I would hate to lose Coach Lynn right now, but the sky wouldn't be falling. The business is cutthroat so move with the punches and be aggressive. Lastly, I anticipate a splash LB hire.

[@rwrae72]

Let's please stop with adding the skill players. We need LB's!

[@LockedOnUSC]

I went over the depth chart, the room is much lighter than in the past and they needed another experienced WR to go with the freshmen coming in plus RS Frosh, DJ Jordan.

Marc, you might want a show on how the NFL manages its roster. My view this is what SC , any school must do . Bring an NFL general manager on the program. When the dust settles in a year or two and schools stop buying rosters management of your roster will be critical.

Caleb’s hammy kept SC out of the CFP in year one

[@ernestogalvan-ib7bt]

Great show!

[@fredtheveteran4623]

I think we are good on WR's & RB's

[@LockedOnUSC]

Agree!

[@mprod25]

Either way, I believe this coming year will be Lynn’s last year. We better win big next season.

[@VinceMannino-q3p]

Mark can you list all the new players who will be coming in next year.

[@LockedOnUSC]

Definitely! Make sure to listen to the next episode.

[@Dallas-n3w]

Marc, does this mean the WR doesn't catch the ball either cuz it hits him in a bad place (i.e. his hands Ahem) like Deuce?? Sorry, I don't mean to be negative but I'm sick an tired of WR's who Can't/Won't catch unless they're open by at least 5 yds in any direction... Hope you're not bein affected by the fires. Fight On!!

[@Trojan_in_Hawaii]

If Coach Lynn wants to be a HC, he would get there much more quickly at PSU than at USC, and he would be gone.😢

[@ikristian13d20]

Make him the highest paid Coordinator offense or defense in CFB. He is worth every penny

[@VinceMannino-q3p]

Mark who are all the new players who are coming in next year.

[@Hexx--13]

I would like to see SC finish in the top 25 ranked. SC has to walk before they can run. Playoffs would be a nice surprise though,.

[@patrickwelch1010]

I might as well still things up. SC can win the national championship next year. If a ND or even an ASU can change drastically by adding portal players then maybe SC will get it right. And Oregon could pay 200 million a year and they'd still lose. Oregon is what we thought they were.

[@LockedOnUSC]

Bold predictions are always respected around these parts.✌🏼

[@ryanpitts8516]

Thought the S from NCST "committed" already.

[@aarondomingo9637]

Anyone know who the LB coach is? Heard he’s already hired

[@terencehunt4770]

Why would Coach Lynn go to freezing happy valley?

[@bartwilloughby2909]

Anybody seen Winter 😳

[@J-PROGRAMMER]

How long is Riley’s contract? USC won’t be relevant until that’s all wrapped up.

[@Datníğğa123]

Emmanuel Pregnon comits to Oregon its over for SC middle of the pack BIG 10 school

[@elvinware8033]

PSU lost Cam Miller and Mekhi flowers 2 DB so maybe Bishop may be all state🤷🏾

[@HerkamerT]

Don’t lose equipment manager

[@Datníğğa123]

Ryan Pellum is not with oregon because he pistol whipped someone in california it would of made no difference what school he played for what a silly statement.

[@jayrod1980]

I disagree about Riley. His bad habits in play calling, with him going more pass heavy than ever before and keeping Grinch so long is why we are here today. He sucks… school did well to swing for the fences on a hot star but he’s very unlikely to get us a natty.

[@OfficalZackV]

We can afford to lose LR

[@MattGinNY]

No we can't. There's a HUGE shortage of above average football coaches at the college and pro levels. Keep LR. Have faith.

[@LockedOnUSC]

@ Yeah starting over AGAIN isn't a good look. 2025 needs to be a bounceback though for sure!

[@Bob_Oxnard-sp1gr]

USC has an automatic 5-0 start in 2025 just based on its schedule. Then you have momentum.
