bad hires left and right man. I don't think they've gotten one thing right since Carroll ran off before the NCAA hammered'em.


The talking heads keep blaming the NCAA sanctions but I don't buy that anymore. They aren't even competitive in some of these games. And Clay Helton is one horrible head coach.

I don't think they thought the NCAA took their violations seriously because the media never took it seriously.

Yahoo Sports exposed all the problems with Reggie Bush's recruitment, and then a book was written about it. ESPN willfully blatantly ignored all of it.

During his announcement press conference on ESPN, Joe McKnight made comments about his recruitment that showed that USC committed more violations. ESPN let it slide and most of the talking heads spun it as "he's just a kid and didn't know what he was saying."

And that brings up another part of it that may have affected it. Most of the major known violations weren't directly committed by the university or its employees. They were committed by wannabe agents and former players.

I'm too lazy to look it up but doesn't he have his dad and Neil Calloway on staff? What an awful, lazy hire. They are t even trying to prop him up with quality assistants.
