This is the most committed I’ve seen USC to its football program since the early 2000’s and I’m so excited for the future. This is the best defensive staff we’ve ever had. Fight on ✌️✌️

[@m.pitt765]

Great Podcast Always Enjoyable; Fight On Trojan Family &, Happy New Year❤💛✌️🙏

[@mjuntz707]

Phenomenal hires by SC... great things to come!! ✌️✌️

[@stormnation8910]

For all those trolls who make the same comments on every USC KZbin channel hating on USC, laugh it up for now. But you see the foundation being built for the next 4-5 years of dominance. USC was undefeated against the SEC last year which was just a taste of what’s to come. Fight on ✌️

We just to the # 1 defense in the country. Love this hire!!!

[@littlesame]

Ryan is a huge hire even QBs should be learning from him to know what to look for in defense

[@walterclarke382]

Dline is fine with depth, LBs are a need.

[@DontbeahaterbeaHatton]

One more DL and OL can't hurt but only help strengthen the depth. Agreed though, priority #1 is another LB for sure!

[@Trojanmom06]

Awesome pod as always. Give baby Brooks hugs from me😍😍

[@joeydale3754]

Congrats Cody on the new born baby boy .! Future Trojan love it ✌🏼✌🏼

[@joeydale3754]

We love annie she is doing the best for that baby an we are so extremely happy .! Can’t wait for the day that baby boy plays for the Trojans .!

[@stevenross3600]

great show as always but I wanted to 'connect a few dots' that I do not hear discussed very often. Cohen has done a very job in bolstering what she can around Riley, the D staff and now the front office, this in my option has been done to mitigate some of Riley's deficiencies.....his struggles w/ D, managing the roster and recruiting. When I say mitigate I am also inferring this false narrative that this is the make/break season for Riley, even if he underperforms this coming season there will still be +60mill on his contract and that is not getting bought out so Cohen is impacting what she can to prop him up.

Too bad we were number 1 in throwing pick sixes. If only we could drop to number 56.

[@joejoey2696]

Quit complaining

[@kennethmiller6836]

Don’t get too excited. They can get all the coaches and that’s great, but no great players are anxious to play for the Trojans.

[@wishihadavette2392]

That’s just not true at all

[@stormnation8910]

Trolling is another word for cyber stalking. Go get a life 😂

@Kennethmiller6836 You are dillusional & Clueless
