Luke a better crooter than Pittman but he def gonna be a drop off in coaching

Chad Morris can do a lot for the QBs here if Gus let’s him. Gus never hired a dude who isn’t just a vessel for his offense so this should be an interesting situation
Luke a better recruiter??? Who could Luke bring in that Pittman couldn’t :mjtf:
Pittman brought in 5 stars :mjtf:

Growing up every kid who played wanted to go to USC. Now it seems like kids can't wait to get out of Cali. Shame that the program's fallen off a cliff.
That's why I said they should have let Helton go before the season. It's not that he deserved to be fired, but why would you let that happen? You goot keep your fence up. Now you gonna be on that level Nebraska fell to when they rolled with Mike Riley.
I get the feeling - it's my grad school alma mater, so I try to keep tabs on what they're doing out there - that the new administration almost wants to deemphasize football, at least for now. Given all the other problems the school's facing with the different scandals and lawsuits, football seems to have taken a back seat.

Also, depending on whom you believe, the prez overrode the AD in the Helton decision - basically, since he's a good dude and won't embarrass the school off the field, she figured the status quo at this point was better than Urban, Stoops, Franklin et al. Talking to other alums, it sounds like she's bent on developing SC to a super-elite academic level a la Duke/Northwestern, and if athletics suffer as a result, so be it.

I'm not sure where SC goes from here. A lot of alums and fans are seriously angry with Folt/Bohn, Helton himself, and the program's direction in general. What might be more troubling is that there also seems to be a growing amount who've become/are becoming completely apathetic.

are you an LSU fan? how much credit does he deserve for the offensive turn around?
A lot, it’s his system but Ensminger calls the plays while Brady will bounce ideas to him and occasionally they let brady call the plays on a drive or two. I read that the play calling is around 80% Ensminger but it’s Brady’s system

All of that sounds messed up... I know this much. Y’all aren’t just missing the top recruits out in Cali. Y’all aren’t getting no recruits. #76 class :dahell:

Oh snap, y’all got Courtland Ford. He was in our class at one time. I think he had a real bad injury and didn’t come back the same.
