OT: Lynn Swann named AD at USC

[Zbrod95]

Wonder how much leash that gives Clay Helton

 

[Gatorhater]

Too bad we don't have any former great players who could be AD.

I would prefer a former coach like Howard or Jimmy to be our AD, personally

 

[cryptocane]

ill take a guy with experience in dealing with stuff like an AD would deal with over a guy who played for us with no experience in anything besides playing football--which lynn swann hasn't played in how long--30 years??

 

[CaniacMike21]

Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

 

[Tad Footeball]

Lynn Swann is actually a very intelligent personable guy......that'll still probably fail in this particular job. There's entirely too much instability coupled with high expectations there for a guy with zero experience.

 

[Dwinstitles]

It feels like the sec gods want um and usc down, both programs have been **** but hype. Hopefully we can right this shipin a couple years

 

[CaneFan79]

Mandatory ballet classes?

 

[McGahee2TheHouse]

Lol. Terrible.

USC seems to be stuck on stupid. Garrett, Hayden, Swann.

 

[Cortez55403]

USC has a general reputation as a school and alumni organization that prefers to turn inward rather than embrace "outsiders." Swan is certainly a reflection of that cultural bias. He's a very capable guy. But, so was Pat Hayden and he failed. Garrett was an incredible player but a total disaster in his handling of the NCAA investigation of all things Reggie Bush.

Wishing Lynn Swan well.

 

[TemplarCane]

I wish Swann well but I am startled to realize just how lucky USC was when they hired Pete Carroll. The Trojans were more-or-less irrelevant for over a decade until Garrett's fourth choice to replace Paul Hackett was a gift from the football gods. If not for that hire USC might as well have been Washington State.

Let's hope Georgia's decision to fire Mark Richt provides The U similar fortune.

Mandatory ballet classes?

Nice but I wonder if anyone under 50 or not a Steelers fan will see what you did there.

or a football historian like I am...And it still zipped past my head until you said something lol

Well he has ZERO experience so I hope he inherited a staff that is capable of doing his job for him. USC currently batting ZERO....what next, O.J?

O.J. would be a killer hire, IMO.

True, but Howard is a little long in the tooth and JJ is too busy enjoying the heck out of life. Certainly would exciting to have JJ.

Yes Swann took Ballet classes and he said it helped him during his HOF career as a Steeler.
