Things are getting so bad at Troy that the Daily Trojan has been forced to reduce publishing from Daily to Three Days P/Week! Pretty soon, Post Practice Pressers for Coaches and Players will be down to Once a Month or Four P/Season! 😱
As long as Riley is here, results are the same. Remember when everyone said he just needed to hire a good DC? Lynn is a great DC, the issue is Riley & the program he built. Helton kept firing Coordinators after coordinators, the issue is Helton, just like the issue is Riley.
Henson is out and I'm good with that. He wasn't as bad as Grinch but it was rough MOST of the year. The problem I have is Riley should have cut bait as well instead of letting him go on his own accord.
Gabe your evaluation of USC talent can be a bit much. I think Paige has great potential but like Bear Alexander heading into summer ball we saw that potential wasn't realized. Hate to lose Paige but the man isn't Orlando Pace.
I feel like this is a great opportunity to hire a big time offensive line coach. Just like LR brought in a new Defensive coaching staff, they’ll find an upgrade at the O-Line. ✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽
Henson was an all right coach but wasn’t horrible but I really hope we can make a great or home run hire. If we do, I wonder if Lincoln Riley will switch Zach Hanson or actually make a hire from one of the playoff teams. On the OL, Elijah Paige I see as a must keep away from the transfer portal. Finally, if Lincoln wants to save his job next season from being on the hot seat OL/Linebackers Coach will be huge hires as well as plugging the positions of need from the transfer portal.
He was a terrible recruiter. We couldn’t sign any elite OL under him. We had one last year Jason Z who transferred to Florida a week after he got on campus. The good OL we had under Henson like Vorhees, Jonah Monheim, Neilon he inherited. Henson did need to go because the OL has been the most underperforming group for the last 3 years. That said, I don’t know we’ll get anyone better. USC is a sinking ship right now. I don’t know any elite coach would want to attach themselves to a Lincoln Riley led program rn.
@@DPMixing clearly you have no idea what you’re talking about. Paige, Justin Fuannu, and the two OT in the ‘25 class are all high 4 stars that were recruited heavily. Ohhh wait, logic doesn’t apply when you’re trying to push a narrative 🥱
The players leaving are not losing sleep over. Zachariah Brach, a high school superstar, who just like Raleek Brown turned out to be just another average college football player. Where is Raleek on the depth chart at ASU, like 3rd or 4th, he got more playing time when he was at SC! Grass is greener, because you as a player under perform, you think going somewhere else is going to make you better? Your going to even be more exposed, crash and burn 🔥 🔥🔥🔥
Same old story with SC coaching staff being mediocre and the reason for good players departing. 4-5 star players cannot get solid development with the Riley coaching team. Next year will be equally bad, if SC wins 7 games it will be a shock.
well I would say if we win 9 it would be a shock, but the O line has shriveled so much already, starting with Tarquin not settling in. kinda downhill since then.
A lot of recruits are not loyal to the school, they are loyal to the coach, when the coach leaves, they leave too. LR will find the right LB and O-line coachs. ✌️✌️✌️
And do what move to Malibu, you don't like him in PV?? U best get used to him-- HE AIN'T GOING NO PLACE, translate it into English if it'll help you process this truth.
Yea idk I'd rather go see USC get a New Oline coach like Georgia , Texas, Tennessee, Michigan , South Carolina somebody who's overlooked even maybe would be a good choice.
Thank you it took forever for them to announce this firing sorry not sorry bro wasn't doing enough recruiting n the the Young Oline leaving n the Vets unlike you I don't think Henson did a good enough job as a whole n yea towards the end of the season the Oline looked better for a lil but that's not enough bro had 3yrs to make this Oline good n go Caleb had bad Oline for 2yrs n majority of this the Oline play all around was alright I need better than alright 🤷🏽♂️ the Oline should be good at the run game as well pads game they were good at the run game n pass they made strides but not enough for me to validate keeping him n again the last 2yrs also we need to go get a better Oline coach n New OC coach too n a special teams.
The turnover is unreal. USC is becoming a platform for player exposure but will never win anything. They are turning into Running Back U to Showcase U. Three years in a row of the most prolific talent in CFB and no playoffs.
Nebraska wasn't particularly good nor was UCLA. Compared to the games where USC should have won came down to bad o-line protection. I'm glad to see him go. He was OC for Riley in practices, so I get why he took that role somewhere else. With the state of college football there's only so much that can be done to keep players. At this point I just don't care because guys will choose what they will and all we can do is accept it.
The rats are jumping ship. Next Riley will be gone. Seen it before , fire assistants then head coach. Pick wisely Riley like you did on defense. Get good replacement there’s talent. Unless they jump. Don’t panic SC fans its going on everywhere. Wait till playoffs are over, mad house. Save your pennies then buy!
Be patient. USC has a mini-dynasty going. They could win 7 games two-years-in-a-row, give-or-take. Eventually the playoff format will expand to 24, too. SC could be an 18 seed-type in a few years, or a decade.
I agree we are losing way too many players. Now that they are in the Big Ten and I live in the Midwest. I was really excited to buy tickets. I don’t know if it’s gonna be worth it cause I don’t know what kind of team we’re gonna have.
It has been time for Riley to go. With Raleek and Domani saying how smart of a man Zachariah is for entering the transfer portal can only lead to a coach who has failed to put these players in a position to succeed. Henson leaving, which does not bother me, but with more players entering the transfer portal and given how the receiving room will look like next year, I see another 6-6 season or maybe 7-5. Riley does not seem to have control of anything at this point.
I feel Henson had to go. I don't think he was a great developer of talent and look at the transfer portal lineman that then left due to their ineffectiveness. And I strongly believe that the OL performance improved slightly due to Zach Hanson making changes. Josh was a dead man walking and, like Grinch, it's just best that he go somewhere else.
Dear Lord USC is like a daytime soap opera 🤦🏻♂️ Should have kept Matt Entz and fired Riley. USC program seems so dis functional. No kids want to play at USC and no coach wants to coach at USC. Shoot, even portal players don’t want to commit 🤷🏻♂️
This is a problem, I think Henson was good. Man, this program is getting hit from all sides. Some of the o-line might leave. I would be a bit worried about having a tight ends coach take over the o-line, even if he had experience in the past. At least the tight ends coach has been a very solid recruiter for the TE room.
Wonderful now we can get a real O-Line Coach
I sure hope so.
Addition by subtraction.
USC might be down to the towel boy, a few guys from the Daily Trojan, and Traveler for the bowl game.
Maybe even the co-ed flag football team 🏈
Marc Kulkin still has four years of eligibility left.
Nobody wants to play for this coaching staff. They're terrible

Well, I think what USC is missing is they need to hire an OC otherwise we’re gonna keep him the same problems

Stink Pot Removal, love it.
Good, needed an upgrade there anyway.
Exactly
Henson is out and I'm good with that. He wasn't as bad as Grinch but it was rough MOST of the year. The problem I have is Riley should have cut bait as well instead of letting him go on his own accord.
I like Zach as our new offensive line coach, but Lincoln really needs to start filling his positions on the double
Gabe your evaluation of USC talent can be a bit much. I think Paige has great potential but like Bear Alexander heading into summer ball we saw that potential wasn't realized. Hate to lose Paige but the man isn't Orlando Pace.
Yes, gotta tone down the hyperbole and make it somewhat realistic.
Addition by subtraction. Whole offensive staff needs to be overhauled.
Good luck to coach but why would you ever go to Purdue??
So he can call plays
Likes snow??
Apparently has a relationship with Barry Odom
Branch Brothers - Good Riddance!!!
You're right Gabe. Key word "foundational pieces" need to be retained. How do you retain them: HIRE GOOD COACHES.

A crash out over a lt
Lol 😂
Everybody said we need a offensive line coach all year long. A lot of coaches will be attracted to USC to Coach the offensive line.
Hanson is the most logical but a sneaky surprise would be the Oline coach from Oklahoma someone Riley is very familiar with
Would be nice Not happening tho
That's like jumping from one sinking ship to another sinking ship.
What is the portal rating at on 3???
What is the athletic director doing among this madness?
Literally nothing
We are not the only school losing coaches and talents. Other big schools going through the same pain we are.
There was an O line coach?
A lot of recruits are not loyal to the school, they are loyal to the coach, when the coach leaves, they leave too. LR will find the right LB and O-line coachs.
✌️✌️✌️
Now we're talking. Lincoln fiexd a lot of the defensive issues with a staff change now it's time to do the same on the offensive side of the ball.
Don’t blame him he was usc oc & never called plays
Good! Thought he underachieved plus recruited no big time recruits
I wasn't down on Henson. I thought he did a decent job with a lot of young players. We need a really good coach and now! Have to hold our players.
3 star kids are an uptake ?
@TheTrojanBlade FYI, I like this outro music better than the old one.
I’m good with him leaving.
Longstreet will decommit next week along with Maiava after the bowl loss to Texas A&M
LR needs to pack up and walk out the door. I'm done with this bleeding.
And do what move to Malibu, you don't like him in PV?? U best get used to him--
HE AIN'T GOING NO PLACE, translate it into English if it'll help you process this truth.
Take a look at receiver's coach not good
He's probably next,
Happy that he is gone. Fight On. Hope that he gets a new job
As a team, underperforming has consequences.

No one's leaving for your trainwreck.
@nupe865 they don't gotta leave well just buy them n there walk right over like Lynn did
I don't feel a sense of urgency from this coaching staff. Not in recruiting or coaching decisions
Did Josh Henson leave or was he let go? That’s an important distinction
He left but he should have been let go.

Great-ho do we land oline players in portal ; now Riley has to recruit two assistances, ad he also has to replace summons….what a shyte show…
I was saying he needed to go, period. So, I am glad he is gone.
