I know he’s a Penn St dude but if he’s struggling at USC why would we want him. IMO he ain’t done shit at USC. Poindexter is who I believe they should promote. I’m hearing USC wants him out and if that’s true why do we want him?
Agreed, Southern. Hack is a Penn St dude too, but I wouldn't want him as QB coach, lol
What are you talking about? He took over an absolute dumpster fire of a defense at USC. Previous two seasons they were #103 and #100 in total D.I know he’s a Penn St dude but if he’s struggling at USC why would we want him. IMO he ain’t done shit at USC.

He had them at #56 in year 1 and #42 in year two.
If that is struggling, what they hell are your expectations?
@roaminglion with USC talent top 25 with absolutely no excuses. Manny stepped in at Penn St with our defense falling off and it was elite for 3 year. We both know Tom Allen was living off Mannys defense I know he was at Penn St for 2 years. The USC defense is why they lost the games they did. Don’t underestimate the talent that USC gets. If USC wants Lynn out there’s a reason why.
USC doesn’t want Lynn out
#56 and #42 at USC ain’t good enough Roam that’s worse than Jim Knowles and you seen who MC run off as soon as he got to Penn St. maybe Lincoln Riley is the problem that dude has stunk of defense since he got to USC. If we get Lynn I’ll trust MC and be his biggest cheerleader I’m just going on some of the numbers I looked up and stuff I’ve heard.
LMAO are you serious? Lynn had UCLA at #11 and took over a dumpster fire at USC.@roaminglion with USC talent top 25 with absolutely no excuses.

Comparing what Manny took over here to what Lynn took over at USC is beyond ridiculous. In fact, it's just plain stupid.
You want to know what the defense was rated before Diaz got here? #7 Yes, 7.
That's what you call the defense falling off??? Like it is anywhere f$^cking near how bad USC was??? Just stop, this take is just horrible. You've invented some wierd false narritive that our defense stunk and Manny turned it around. They were #7 under Pry, and he got the HC position at VT because he was a gread DC.
In Manny's first yesr we were actually worse rated at #11... so you plainly don't know what you are talking about here
@roaminglion says someone who defended Jim Knowles all year so give me a freaking break and like I said, a USC defense ranked #56 and #42 sucks…period! Paint the picture the way you want to see it!
I said Knowles needs time, which he did. Like pretty much anyone else said.@roaminglion says someone who defended Jim Knowles all year so give me a freaking break and like I said, a USC defense ranked #56 and #42 sucks…period! Paint the picture the way you want to see it!
Yeah buddy, Manny took over a falling off defense ranking #7 and turned them around the next year making them #11. Yeah that makes a lot of f*cking sense. God damn genius logic there
That's nothing to write home about (#42). Anywho, I thought he was bringing his DC from IS over to us??
@roaminglion they were 32nd total defense in 2021 so spin that the way you want and 11th in 2022 total defense.
No, they werent.@roaminglion they were 32nd total defense in 2021 so spin that the way you want and 11th in 2022 total defense.

Southern, start standing up for yourself more often. Just a little FYI. Make sure you have correct information before posting.
This guy is nothing more than a sports media couch potato barking at everyone.
It's a beautiful day out. Go for a run, walk. Work on a project outside.
You'll never get ahead in life padding up to guys like Roam and Joe. They have FOMO syndrome. Fear of missing out syndrome. They have to be here all day making sure they are the leaders of the forum. They're afraid someone might get ahead of them.
Hit that bow flex, go for a run outside...
Total defense national ranking: 345.5 yards per game (No. 32) I’m looking at 247 sports but maybe they’re wrong.
Total defense national ranking: 345.5 yards per game (No. 32)
Scoring defense national ranking: 16.8 points per game (No. 7)
So what is more important, the yards you give up or the amount of points? LMAOTotal defense national ranking: 345.5 yards per game (No. 32)

Never heard of teams winning games for yards. Manny's D gave up over 28 points a game in 2022 but sure they were slipping and got better. Seems legit.
We should hire that Manny guy !!
*18 points not 28. Typo. Still worse than the year before.So what is more important, the yards you give up or the amount of points? LMAOTotal defense national ranking: 345.5 yards per game (No. 32)

First time I have ever heard someone argue a defense got better by giving up more points per game.
@roaminglion I was just looking up total defense I do agree with you on having a better scoring Defense is better. I thought when you put up your stats it had total defense for Manny and scoring defense for Pry but regardless it’s better to have a better stat of scoring defense. I still don’t believe Brent Pry is a better DC than manny though. I’m not saying you do I’m just saying.
All I am saying is context matters. USC was god awful on defense, and just because the have good recruiting stars doesn't mean a new DC can change things overnight. Improving over 50 spots into the top 50 is impressive considering how bad they were.@roaminglion I was just looking up total defense I do agree with you on having a better scoring Defense is better.
