Why can't USC teams seem to play an entire season?

MIMS · Jan 1, 2008

Team looks good, but why have they waited until the bowl games the past two years to get going?

Simple. Poor coaching and distractions around the program

USC has waited until November to play well the past few years.

Disagree. There isnt a better coach in the game at the Collegiate level. Facts are facts my man and Carrol is at the top of the list. If you had to pick one coach to start your program I guarantee you that 99% of the institutions in this land would select him.

Facts are facts, and this is your opinion. My opinion is that Bozo is nowhere near the top of the list. If he was, his team wouldn't lose to the likes of Stanford, UCLA, Oregon State, with the "best talent" in the country.

WRONG

I've heard Carrol's name invoked like 50 times every time i post about the Stanford game. The best coach in CFB would NOT lose that game

You guys know that he is the at the top and you wont admit it because your pride gets in the way.

Truth. After banging heads with the rest of the Pac10, playing Illinois must seem like playing in slow-motion. It's a glorified practice session.

Pete Carroll:

75-14 Record
23-0 in month of November
48-9 conference
Won 34 straight games between 03-05
Won 67 out of his last 74 games
A record six consecutive years as PAC-10 Champions
A national-record 33 consecutive weeks as AP's No. 1-ranked team
A NCAA-record of 63 straight 20-point games

USC has been in every game for more than six seasons
Turned what was at the time a dying program into a dynasty
Obviously the most effective recruiter in the nation
Three Heisman Trophy Winners under his regime.

There is a difference between fact and opinion. Never judge someone by one bad day or one bad game.. Please come in and tell me he's resume isn't impressive.. Please.

What the hell would you expect him to say? How else to excuse losing to Stanturd, OSU, etc...

He also said Karl Dorrell did a great job at UCLA and they were foolish not to keep him.

Because the teams are overrated every year. They are playing a horrible Illinois team today and a shitty Michigan team last year. USC matches up very well with these Big 10 teams.

Carroll is one of the worst in the business at preparing his team to play in games that aren't "big games". They are so good this year, prob. the best in the nation, but coach could'nt get them ready to play Stanford at home.

Been like this for several years playing down to shitty teams.

How many times are you gonna copy and paste this same resume without including the TOP LINE:

Loser of the BIGGEST POINT SPREAD UPSET in the HISTORY OF COLLEGIATE FOOTBALL, AT HOME, to the WORST TEAM IN THE COUNTRY!

I have watched every USC game over the past 6 years and Carroll has lost his edge from the Carson Palmer era. PC is still a very good coach but he's not as hungry to prove himself.

Yes it's my pride. There's no other reason for me to think there might be one, ONE coach better than him

Again one game doesn't make or break someone.. Carroll's accomplishments overshadow anyone's bias opinion of him.
