Matt Leinart, a Heisman Trophy winner and national champion at USC, knows the football program can’t continue without making significant changes. Leinart stressed the need for change in the YouTube video below.
It’s important to note that when we talk about changes, it’s not just one thing in isolation. It’s not just firing Alex Grinch as defensive coordinator. Other changes are needed beyond that one. The Trojans will probably need to make other internal staffing changes. The idea that Grinch is a one-person cure-all (get rid of him and everything gets better) is flawed.
Beyond staffing changes, Lincoln Riley has to realize USC must practice differently and use different training methods. Current methods are simply not creating tougher football players, and toughness is where USC must improve.
Leinart knows what everyone else does at USC: The current set of methods and practices isn’t working. Changing personnel and changing methods are both needed in order to change results.
