Because of this ludicrous $22 million buy out we are in for a ride for a couple more years no matter his record. He might not win 8 games within the next 2 season's but USC never ever pays any kind of buyout. We ride or die that sucker out.
I wish we were like the Auburns or Clemsons where they are devoted to winning games and will fire a coach mid season if need be. We are not that program.
Someone should terminated for that much of a buy out. It screams sabotage or stupidity . Ask Tanner is he stupid or a traitor?
Paying buyouts is becoming a harder thing to do. Auburn tried to run off Gus last year but couldn’t afford to and he wouldn’t budge. They tried to humiliate him into leaving.
Champ is safe this year regardless and likely safe the following year. The admin may make some requests, although given the revolving door around the coordinator position with Champ over his HC tenure at FL and here, they may not go that route. It isn’t like he isn’t afraid to bring in a new coordinator.
Unfortunately i don’t think he has what it takes to run the football management side of a big program. He can recruit, but he has an image of what he wants to be and i think his defensive pedigree gets him in trouble.
The only guaranteed victory on the schedule is this week. Vandy and App should be wins, but if you show up and play uninspired football, those could easily go south, i don’t think that will happen. That is 3 W’s.
TN, KY & MZ will be dog fights but are very winnable if the team will keep their chin up.
The rest, you just want to try to keep it with in 3 scores and call that a victory. If you have 5-7 TD spreads, it just looks so bad.
Nobody wants to hear this, but this team just is not on the same level with the upper tier teams. I think it is headed in the right direction, but there is not enough differential talent to overcome poor QB Play.
