Awesome Show, Marc✌️✌️ Watched Lincoln’s office presser yesterday and came away feeling that he was very genuine in seeking advice and counsel from Coach Carroll!

The bottom line is Grinch truly almost ruined the careers of Benny Wiley and 10 to 20 players / upper classmen and that includes Lucas, Cobb, Gentry and Barr. Its funny how people forget how Grinch continued to play Tackett when although gifted he was clearly not ready.

I can't wait to see it on the field. FIGHT ON ✌✌✌✌✌
Marc, Nobody is talking about this. This USC defense is loaded with Sr's. Most of the key transfers and returning starters are Sr's. Senior lead untit tend to exceed expectations. Michigan last year was an older defense. It one of the factors I use when handicaping football. Georgia and Alabama are known for having Sr's return for a run at a NC run.
Saw your interview with Ced It OFF. Nicely done! You not only came off as someone who knows a thing or two about football; you were also quite charming - a guy you'd definitely enjoy having a beer with. Thanks for doing an excellent job speaking for our program.
Great show Marc It’s going to be so fun watching defense this year after the first two seasons of Riley. And with miller running the offense we should be in every game it can’t get here fast enough
Great to hear what Lynn had to say about the depth and talent on this year's defense and what Gentry said yesterday about now knowing how to play defense under Lynn.. Cannot wait for the Wisconsin game in the Coliseum!! That should be a very interesting game of a sudden! Grinch's ears must be burning hearing all the shots be taken at him (all true btw) and SC wanting to stick it up his butt!! Cant wait for that one. Have a good feeling I know how its gonna turn out...
Marc, How does our tackling look? What differences do you notice compared to last year? Level changes, wrapping up tackling, team pursuit tackling? We were missing all of that last year.
Grinch was so bad: Here are his 10 steps to guarantee FAIL: 1. He started the wrong players. 2. He played them in the wrong place 3. He had them out of position on assignments. 4. He took away their strength size and power to (make them smaller) 5. He wasn't good at in game adjustments 6. He had favorites 7. He kept better players on the bench too long. 8. He couldn't see talent with a higher upside 9. He didn't develop players. Most went backwards 10. His scheme was terrible and easy to attack. So what happens when you take all these things away? The Louisville game. Now you're replacing one of the worst with one of the best and you gave him more Sr. weapons. I wouldn't bet against USC. This team should be in every game.
Perfect post! Well done and it's still unfathomable to me that a coach with Grinch's experience could be so me mediocre, I mean all of us at home could see glaring mistakes by Grinch and WE don't do this for a living.......I just don't get how Grinch could coach like he'd never seen a college football game before!?!? ✌️ Beat LSU!
Born and Raised in Cali retired in Vegas ✌️ the Casinos are going to make their money from everyone betting on LSU so they are not going to go much lower on the point spread. Because USC is going to win and Vegas knows it and that's how Vegas will win their money
I feel the same way Tired of all the talk let's see how good this LSU team is! I know they do real good in Recruiting so they should be a really good team ✌️
usc always has above average talent...grinch was so incompetent that it brought reproach to the entire program....riley to his shame kept this loser around until it cost him in national reputation ....he earned this humiliation....here's the deal....8 -5 with no defense it was a sieve.... sc is a sleeping giant....riley offense gets 40 per game ..... legitimate defensive coaches we will be a top 30 or better defense....watch out....10-2 or better....
If Pete could just do something as little as being an ambassador, like Showing up at recruiting visits, doing pep talks, maybe sharing some of his best plays? that would be great. Same with Aaron Donald showing up at visits and or coming out once a week to help with the DL. Good work Marc.
Not Portal season but my Portal question is relevant for this time of year. It is a STAFFING question...to your knowledge...is there a PORTAL DEPARTMENT at SC that evaluates all the players on all the other teams that MIGHT be eligible for the next Portal? The idea is that if we do all the LEGWORK (evaluation) ahead of the Portal...we know ahead of time who we want to go after....and can put a bid in 30 seconds after the player announces...an INFORMED bid. Thanks...you're an INFORMED INSIDER. PAUL
Can't speak to how sc handles the portal but I would venture to guess most all the major players in college football have a portal dept as you called it.
Yeah...I asked GERARD MARTINEZ this question a while back...& he pretty much said the same thing...not exactly a DEFINITIVE answer...but thanks for the quick response. Paul@LockedOnUSC
Pete Carroll’s SC teams had tremendous defenses 💯💯 But his teams did NOT having boring offenses (not his great teams) his offenses were dynamic, high scoring & had quick strike ability - SC should seek to have BOTH great defenses and great, dynamic offenses that often score on 50+ yard TDs ✌️✌️
@@prestonking9564 the defense that year kept breaking down with injuries. At one point one of the Ting twins was starting, and Brian Cushing was playing with one arm in that Texas game. 
I’m a big fan of EG…but shouldn’t a captain be a starter…so far I don’t think he’s in that role YET…I’m really hoping he has a big year and goes high in the draft…Fight on!
Our defense should be night and day difference if FUCLA was number 87 ranked prior to last year. They jumped to number 11 nationally. The only game last year we got really blown out and was Notre Dame. Every other one was within 10 points. Had we have had the current staff we competed against Michigan! ✌️✌️✌️
Love your sense of humor Marc. We have solved that problem on D line and with Grinch sneezing elsewhere now, I suspect all we need is balanced O to give them a rest to be as good as anyone - with the tall corners and a competent D backs coach finally. And no offense, no pun, but Pepe is now the least of the D line whereas before he was the best.
Just play the video of Pete leading the team in the singing of "Fight On!" after smashing Iowa (38-17 w/ Troy Polamalu sitting out) in 2003 Orange Bowl.
Marc, not trying to bust you balls, but the casinos move spreads when a team starts to get a lot of action one way or the other. That's not to say folks are starting to gather more info, and are starting to believe SC has a better team than originally thought!! I'm hoping they are right!!! Fight On!!!!
The LSU Kittens having been talking smack since the Pete carol days! Don't this feel like these days when Auburn with Cadillac Williams said they were going to destroy USC 😅 we went to their house and embarrassed them.

Before last year Latu was just a guy with potential and no one knew who the Murphy Twins were. I know you're trying hard to be the contrarian but try and use a little common sense. Just a little---that's all I ask.
Just a guy with potential? In 2022 Latu was 1st Team All-Pac 12 and had 10.5 sacks (8th in the nation) before Lynn got there. Lacking common sense while telling others to use it is rich. What a complete and unabashed charlatan.
