Poll: Which USC staff do you keep, or fire?

[Swayin]

Who do you keep? See poll above, and check as many folks as you'd like.

 

[Swayin]

So far, Kitchings and Shaw the most popular to keep, with Bobo right behind.

Have no issues with keeping those 3 , I think it helps really with recruiting could be wrong .

I think with Stockton especially, Connor is CRUCIAL. And of course Connor and Beams have considerable ties.

If Beamer is the HC there's a likelihood that several on the staff are kept.  I would only keep Shaw, possibly Bobo and Dez.   If we bring in a current HC, he may bring more staff with him.  Beamer hopefully knows some folks out there who he could bring in quickly and fill the staff along with jump start recruiting.  Don't see keeping anyone from D or ST.  I like Bentley for his connections in SC but haven't seen anything from him that we couldn't live without.

I didn't see Joe Cox who was the wide receivers coach. Is he still there?

Yep, just forgot to add him tbh

I'm partial to him because he's from Charlotte and his sister is good friends with my daughter. I really don't know how good he is as a coach, but he's a nice young man.  I know that being a "nice guy" doesn't necessarily translate to winning. Just look at Spurrier. He could be a jerk, but he was our jerk.

so true lol

I couldnt tell that we had a WR coach as we havent had a good WR group in years

 

[Swayin]

It's like we always have one guy step up - but it's been forever since we had two/three guys who could all ball. Even last year when Bryan was showing out, even Shi underperformed. The last time that I can think of when we had a group of WR's who could all kill you was Alshon/Tori/Ace/Bruce. Since then it has always been one guy at a time. That group led to Pharaoh. Pharaoh led to Deebo. Deebo led to Bryan, Bryan led to Shi ... but it's hard to name the guys alongside those luminaries. Heck, even when Sterling was balling out, he had Ira Hillary and Eric Poole alongside him.

You are absolutely correct. As for Cox, he  hasn't had a very good year but he really hasn't had much to coach. I don't know why our wr recruiting has been so poor of late. We need more than one go-to guy to win. Do we have any talent coming in next year? Maybe we can get some studs through the transfer portal or via the JUCO route. 

 

[Swayin]

Josh Vann has just never seemed to live up to his 4-star expectations either ... just drop after drop. You wonder how much of that is coachable/mental and how much is just reality.

 

[Longhaul]

Wyman should be in the mix next year.   I was surprised he did not see the field, does anyone know anything on him?  I thought he was pretty highly thought of when he signed.
