Only way paw paw turns this season around is to RESIGN!! N O W!!!
Throw Dietzel in that bunch too. Most of them proved they could still coach but Maineiri not so much.
In the past we had enough talented players to overcome short comings of others. It always seemed our "less talented" hitters were very good defensively. IMO, we had players who thrived in most pressure situations.
If this keeps up, I predict a resignation at season's end.
Not sure (before my time) but I just said to include him in the bunch because he was a guy that won a national title at another school many years earlier before he came here (LSU '50s), didn't win much here ('69 ACC title was an accomplishment) and never coached again after departing. I know some liked him for the fight song and astroturf field.
Mostly talk while at USC. National title at LSU was in 1958. My parents went to NOLA to celebrate their first wedding anniversary and saw LSU beat Clemron 7-0 in the Sugar Bowl.
Already gave up 2 to Princeton in 2 inning. Give them credit, SC makes up for bad hitting and errors, by pitching sucking!!
I don't agree with this at all regarding Holtz and Spurrier, our football program was a national joke when Holtz took the job, weathered the storm and brought in some solid players, then turned the program around quickly, then Spurrier came in and gave us without question the best era in USC football history.
Agree with that too....but it was still a golden parachute for all. They all got paid well, they had zero expectations/pressure and a "nothing but up" situation and yes they could all still coach but each one of them came to USC as other bigger things were happening in the respective sports. Odom didn't have the ACC b-ball angle for recruiting that hurt him... along with his age and demeanor (as it relates to who he was recruiting).
McGuire personally was not in favour of USC leaving the ACC, but felt that we were on strong enough grounds to hold our own while still being in the ACC's back yard. By the mid '70s he knew leaving was an absolute mistake. As late as the Odom era, geography was still our enemy vis a vis recruiting. Now with the coast-to-coast watered-down ACC, it does not matter. Oh well, MBB has other challenges.
Beat The Citadel and take 1 of 3 down there and we’ll likely be a top 25 team next week.
Getting hammered by Citadel already. 3-1 Citadel in bottom I’d 2nd. And looking to get more this frame
