I have no clue how things turn out at USC. I think they bonk. Their prior DC D'Anton Lynn was top-notch and brought players with him, but he could only improve them from train-wreck to "respectable." Initially, I head Falcon's HC Morris but now onto Patterson? Patterson's drop off at TCU was the defense regresssing.

USC graduated a bunch, a few portaled out, and not very many have portaled in--only like 9 guys, including a P, LS, and a player's low ranked brother. That team are now so Frosh/Soph heavy that they will have to stay healthy playing a few Vets, or those young ball out playing very young. On defense, I don't like the idea of inexperiened 18-20 yo's playing.

Stinklon Riley's experiment will either work or not. I think he will be bought out--a huge check for USC to scratch out.
 
Always liked MikMac, he came to our business a few times as they were a CU partner and even though he would be well within his right to just go through the motions of showing up, shaking hands and then leave etc etc, always had time to speak warmly to the staff and genuinely took interest in our work (which to him would've been seen as mundane waste of time), so have always respected the man

But boy, in a decade he has gone from being National Coach of the Year to DC at a dumpster fire at the Beavers in the new Wac 2.0

I agree that he's a good guy and fine representative for a football program.

As a coach, I'd rate him as an elite DB coach, a very good DC, an excellent recruiter with an eye for talent, and a mediocre-to-good HC depending on the situation (he wasn't a Florida guy).

He had a winning record in 2 out of 12 seasons as a head coach. 58-89 overall record. 2016 was a lot of fun, but I’d say that 10 losing seasons is quite bad.

He's a good turnaround guy. Ideally, what should have happened at CU was a mirror of SJSU -- leave for a premium turnaround offer after 2016. What we saw was a guy who was going to win 5 or so games a year with the occasional big season where it all came together with a veteran team that has some stars who severely outperformed their recruit rankings. I think that's pretty good for any program that's in a dumpster fire situation.

A lot of those big hitters on that 2016 team were Embree recruits
 
Good DC and great DB talent evaluation. HCMM brought in great DBs. Was just what CU needed at the time and was oh so close to getting over the hump, just couldn't. Not replacing some assistant coaches was his downfall. I'll always root for MM he was a Buff.
 
My opinion then and now and just my opinion is MM was exactly the type of guy we should have hired when we hired Embree.

But nostalgia, NFL fantasy thing, and Mac era age like me gen x boosters donors got swept up. And Mike Bohn trying to save his job by hiring a Black and Gold guy

And we went down the deep hole instead of the Hawkins F up regular hole

Edit: MM after us has been in loser situations and past his relevance.

I remember when CU hired Kap that UNC fans had mixed feelings on him and some of his former players & their parents said some not-so-nice things. But he put guys in the NFL there, immediately improved CU's OL play, and then was really good at MSU. I think he's a really good OL coach and I suspect he's being scapegoated for a decline in talent and physicality at Bama.
