The school lost its way and mind after the NCAA sanctions. They hired ADs with zero experience such as Lynn Swann and Pat Hayden and awarded contracts to fools like Clay Helton. It wasn’t until 3 years ago that the administration realized that SC’s identity is football royalty. Give Riley 2 years and check back up on whether SC is back on top of the heap. Remember Michigan hadn’t won a national title in over 25 years prior to this season.
If the school had fought harder and Pete never left, no way Saban gets 7 titles. College football would look really different. Everyone was looking for a way to knock down SC during the Carroll years.
correct, the sanctions absolutely broke USC, and their administration made all the wrong decisions coming out of it. started with the sanctions and usc dug itself in a deeper and deeper hole.
USC was hiring ADs with no experience before the sanctions i.e. Mike Garrett
letting the ncaa drop the hammer on sc was another bit of larry scott's brilliant "leadership"; everyone who let that happen, from ad to the board, can go pound sand.
Lost its way? Clay Helton is one of many examples of lazy coaching hires or promoting anyone with USC ties. That has a history dating to before even John McKay. Lincoln Riley is USC’s best nationally acclaimed hire since who, Howard Jones? John McKay was a little known assistant coach, same with John Robinson, and Pete Carroll was a NFL retread. Before Helton there was Tolner, JR II, & Hackett. Like someone before me said here, before Haden there was Mike Garrett who stumbled into Pete Carroll.
The university gave up on the football team due to the embarrassment of the Carroll era scandals, compounded by the athletic department as a whole being rife with corruption, leading to criminal convictions.
Best damn podcast on youtube. They gotta give my man JP more money to get guests on here. He asks the right questions and has the right convos!
Appreciate that. Spread the word!
@@theqbroom loved your brother, love the podcast Jordan.
Super cool pod. Props guys!
I think it needs to be said, I feel Jen Cohen, the AD is not getting enough credit. I really believe she is pulling these strings behind the scenes because she is no nonsense. I have a feeling she made things very clear for Riley with Grinch and defense. I say that because the moves that have been madez the salaries and the focus on defense is something Riley has never done. This staff that was put together and the aggressiveness in which they did it, sounds more like Jen than Riley "Mr. Trained Eyes". To which I am so thankful she was hired.
Totally agree. Just looks like that knowing who really has the purse strings.
Naw. Riley had a reliwith the Rams coach, remember? He shot him the DL and made the move. Riley also went st ucla D coir. Give Reilly his props
As a UDUB fan, please hire Jen Cohen to a lifetime contract and keep her away from ever coming back. We appreciate how the reverse Barb Hedges effect has been working for us much better than the first 10 years of the 2000’s and last 7 years of the 90.
i dont think she tells Riley what to do, I think she is like a psychologist, asking him the questions he needs to answer to get better. telling Riley what to do would just result in him putting up a wall. she is helping him to examine himself and improve.
@@turneryoung905cmon cohen hired de boers among other things this years teams success redounds to her benefit not new ad
I’m an SC homer. That said, this was the fastest, most entertaining podcast I’ve enjoyed….
Ever!!
Thanks fellas!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This back & tough was just AWESOME, thank you both. Fight On!
Thanks Matt for all you did and do for USC football. Fight on! Best college QB ever while at USC!
Just checking you all out. Really cool 😎 pod. Agreed- Lincoln walked into/inherited a ___ fire. Painful to watch at times- yes. You’re right making the changes, patience is key.
Thanks for watching!
Matt is a humble guy. I have always been a fan. Good insight.
Thanks for watching!
Jordan, first time watching your show. Love it! Matt was great. Looking forward to watching more shows. Very excited about Julian Lewis to SC in '25! Give my best to your bro! Love Carson cuz he got us rolling! Angel USC'78
Thanks for watching! ✌️
Jordan looks like a damn clone of his brother
I thought it was Carson at first!
So did I!
🤷♂️
Thank you, Jordan Awsome show I agree with you both USC will get better. We were expecting more put at the end of the day it's Lincoln second year. Fight on ✌️ ✌️
Thanks for watching!
We have a big city that attracts young people
Need a stronger NIL DEAL
Curtain around the best HS talent in the state not just South OC (Mater Dei, Bosco, Centennial, Sierra, LB poly, De La Salle, Servite etc) include Bishop Gorman in Vegas and Saguaro in AZ, the Sammamish schools in the PNW. Then recruit in Georgia, Florida, Texas and Louisiana. Just like Pete used to do. We are not doing half of this right now.
Responding to your clickbait title: yes. Next question please.
All we need is 8 95+ rating All American linemen on both sides of the ball and a defense that limits opponents to 13 points a game and we will be on our way. Let's stop offering these 3-star ham and egger Spider Rico's and start getting some all-stars in here.
BEFORE WE SPEAK of Dynasty CAN WE let USC be even making a Playoff. That said O SEE them trending in an absolute positive direction. As a avid follower of USC football LINCOLN RILEY had to get smacked sonhard that he woke up to this reality. In retrospect a bad season was the best thing to happen with the TROJANS Can you imagine living in a perpetual 10-11 win season and not winning the chip.
1 step back, 2 steps forward
As a USC fan i think we will be 8-4 at best next year. I'm setting my expectations low, because USC can't seem to stop destroying my expectations in a bad way. At the start of 2023, I thought we could win it all, and we went 7-5. I would never have imagined losing more than 3 games
How could you possibly think that with the defense you didn’t have and the second half schedule you had. Begging of the season I thought you would drop 2 games at least down the stretch and you exceeded my expectations.
@@Archangel3083 hope, it's called hope. I was filled with hope at the start of the 2023 season. I thought the defense would be better. But I should have known better. USC has only accomplished two things in the past 15 years, underachieving and disappointing their fans, including me. I'm still gonna always be a fan, but I'm also gonna be realistic starting now since my hopes have been destroyed every year. It's the hope that kills you is what I've been told.
start with being good once before planning a dynasty.
Enjoyable podcast. Go UTEP!

Man, I thought u were that Tim Langley dude. Look n talk just like him. Or, him looking n talking just like. Anyhow, u both look n talk like each other 😂😂😂
Stumbled across this, most definitely subscribed and shared. Great work

Welcome!
You two crack me up! Just subscribed, great pairing.
Thank you!
Great podcast, have to get good linesmen for Riley to win NC. ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
Thanks for watching!
sanctions definitely killed us. But if we remember 2009 PC team was not good. It was kind of over and then the sanctions hit hard. Too much. They destroyed SC football.
He had all freshman basically on that defense. You saw 2011 team. Carroll would have still be on top in 2010 as well will a full year of that defense back of all freshman
You think he would've still been on top with the sanctions? I disagree. I will say this though. Could you imagine how many championships sc would've won with a playoff system? Damn. @@bradcherry101
That 2009 team were a bunch of True Freshmen and Sophomores. A Rebuilding year. The 2008 SC team were Senior/Jr Heavy. Maualuga, Mathews, Cushing, Moala, Mays, Jackson, etc, All left for the NFL.
@@markc2940 Lane Kiffin in 2011 went 10-2, and finished #6 in the Nation with those players from 2009. If Pete Stayed and No Sanctions, SC would have been back to winning A LOT of games and more National Titles.
Leinert is trying to set low expectations for this coming year. I really dont think Caleb was positive for this team. It is all a question of the offensive line, can they develop the young guys well enough? I see the offense under Moss or Maiava being more consistent than under Caleb.
Not without a real D and a running game. CLR only paid lip service to both until he was forced to fix the D this off season. But time will tell if that translates into performance Holiday Bowl showed tackling was possible again. But I don't see him doing much about getting a run game.
I really don't see USC winning 7 consecutive Big 10 conference championships. I don't even see Georgia winning like four or five straight SEC championships... USC could compete for some... Maybe even when a Natty. But I see no reason to favor them in particular over quite a few other established and up and coming teams in the coming years. The tangible goal for them next season is to try to make the playoffs.
What is your definition of "build a team?" Do you mean pay players like you, and the SEC have for years? Do you mean ask kids to join your team because of coaching expertise and a team culture? Everyone else is buying players left and right, what are you going to do?
Great interview with two USC Trojan legends
That's not Carson lol
😂
Thanks for your insight Matt
Ahhh my OC boys! Hate to say it but I don't think Riley is going to last past next season, I don't like what I see, especially in recruiting Southern California, that said they might have their next coach in Entz.. KW in Newport 🤙🏻
Jordan great stuff....have to mention though if thats an American flag (Im assuming with 13 stripes) on your aleeve they put it on the wrong way. Stars should be forward...so it should be on the other sleeve....just sayin.
i dunno, will the ncaa allow it this time?
💯
New coaching staff is promising
Excited to see it
Not with Riley. You can make playoffs and win Heismans but his teams are not quite good enough on defense to win it all
Love this podcast.
Thanks!
LOL, hell no. Not with Riley as coach. He does NOT get or understand the gritty aspects of football. He'd be great if it were all 7 on 7.
Made some great defensive hires. We'll see!
Get coach Pete Carrol back
Would he come back?
Hahahaha. Would have to lure Norm Chow back with Pete. And he is 77.
Matt Linert is just a good ole guy 👦 classy quarterback I'm happy to say I got a football card of Matt in his usc uniform the other day press pass card really neat card front and back . When ever I think of usc and Matt my mind always goes to the natty where they played texas either vince young probably one of my favorite games of all time . Funny 😁 hoe all this happened with the card . With the podcast and thinking about Matt . It's funny how life works like that jamie .😊
As a Trojan, the only team in the immediate post-Saban era I can see becoming the next dynasty is Georgia. USC has a long way to go.
They can but Lincoln Riley ignores Southern California Talent and focuses more on sorry azz Texas players. 😂
Building a dynasty? Shouldn’t you just start with winning some games?
I wish 😂😂😂
Haha, gotta believe!
The way recruit looking right 👀
no
USC needs to learn how to create NFL QB's that can win a SB
Are you crazy? Just worry about college.
TLDR: no
No
USC will lose more than 50% of their games next year
Are you a USC fan?
Worst take I’ve seen so far. Do better, bobby. 😂
i guarantee you said sc would lose to louisville...
