Usc rumors scott wolf10/11/2023 That said, after the Ohio State beatdown in 2017 I started to formulate my own HC search. If I cared to, I’d go back and check on how many TD’s have been so gifted. My greatest frustration over the past 5 (maybe 10) years has been watching the Trojan offense and special teams gift the opponent with short field opportunities. If the HC won’t permit live tackling, how is a DC and his position coaches supposed to teach skills? If all the talent is perpetually injured due to inadequate strength and conditioning and nutrition, how is a DC supposed to develop a smashmouth D? At Cal, he was the only coach capable of slowing down the (previously) high powered Oregon Duck offense.Ĥ. They held a high scoring Steeler’s team to only 20 offensive points. CP did take a perpetually lackluster Arizona Cardinal’s D to the Super Bowl. CP’s also been hampered by poor position coaches in prior years (though Burns and Chad K seemed to be great additions and keepers for the future). “near sack” which leads to a “3rd and long” coversion. Gotta be frustrating to dial up a blitz only to be rewarded with a QB gets the throw off under pressure, and the thin defensive backfield left naked by an unsuccessful blitz gets torched. The problem is the “almost sack” which is our specialty. The blitz and stunt packages are actually well conceived and well-timed. Without the ability to mount a pass rush since Leonard Williams left, the defensive solutions have become limited. (Would have been nice to have Gustin for at least one full season without injury, no?). It’s been frustrating to watch 2nd and 3rd teamers have to man-up against the ND’s and Oregons, etc. Many of the top D recruits lately transferred away (or ended up incarcerated, for cripesake). I think CP has been limited by marginal remaining “talent” over the past few years. Incapable of in-game adjustments? Maybe not. Finally, the gumbo offense of the past few years with its quick 3 and outs (3 inc passess take about 25 seconds?) has not helped.ģ. Due to deficiencies on either the D-line (2018), DB’s (2017, 2018), or LB’s (2019) the scheme has not always worked. I think CP has come up with a good scheme over the past few years. Recall, Tate was being hyped for the Heisman at that time. When the game was on the line, after Tate had been brutalized gaining 100+ rushing yards and getting physically pummeled, he couldn’t toss the dime to win the game. CP had a great scheme against Khalil Tate two years ago. Had the pass rush delivered, AZ’s freshman QB would have struggled. (Having sat at the Pac12 championship game where McCafferty torched Wilcox’s D for about 500 yards, I was fine with Wilcox getting fired.)Ī few of the complaints of CP may be justified…ġ. Many (all?) on this site have flayed CP over the past few years.
