Importance of Assistant Coaches?

[hawgdawg]

I wonder how important assistant coaches are. I mean USC's offense picked up right where they left off last season even though Norm Chow is no longer the off coordinator. By all accounts, our defense picked right up where we left off last season too even though we have a new def coordinator

They make or break a head coach. Quick question...who is coaching the secondary this year?

Supposedly Chris Vaughn - safeties,  and Bobby Allen - corners.

Well I bet they're busy this week.

Yeah busy licking Houston's ass trying to say it wasn't their fault.

Lane Kiffin studied under Norm Chow at BYU, and he Chow's recommendation to Pete Carroll. That's at least the way I heard it on their (USC's) radio show. Looked like Chow calling plays. Of cousre, with Leinhart, you've got a coach on the field. He can probably call his own plays. Maybe he does.
