Chad Krueter fired

Pat Haden certainly didn't sit back and wait. I really think the hiring of Haden as AD is going to do wonders for the Trojan Athletic program. It may take a little while, but it's going to happen. Frank Cruz was out at one of our games last week. He seems like a nice guy, and I wish him well in his interim basis for 2011. However, something tells me they're going to go for a high profile coach. Who knows? Maybe someone in the Trojan Family has more information?

My son plays for USC.I wish the best for Coach Cruz and this year for him to try to help get USC back to a winning program.I think its unfair to expect that from any coach in one year.Scolly limits, cost if education etc etc.It is tougher now then before.And with the changes of coaches do we lose our recruits?

I don't see Coach Cruz as a long term fix, USC will look to bring in a much bigger name coach to do the long term job of righting the program. Even though Coach Cruz has a background at USC but he did not do that well at LMU.

I don't think there will an issue of loosing your recruits, most will see this as a good move, question would be, will the new coaching staff in 2011-2012, look to bring in their own set of recruits.

Well Yeah... Why would the incoming coaching staff run with the guys that got the previous staff fired.

It is not always the player's fault that the coach is not successful.

Game day management, getting the most out of the players he has, players willing to go the extra mile for the coach and team, and team cohesiveness can go a long way to a coach's success or lack of.

Just now got it up Homerun04. Been bust this AM.

FOG- sending best wishes to your son and his teammates this season. Hope they have a great season.

CaBB, Thank you.Changes are always difficult.Esp. when returning from inujry.My son and the others are a great bunch of young men.It will take time to adjust, but many are going into this season with passion and dedication.Time will tell.

Fanofgame I know this can be a tough time for players in a program. It can lead to a lot of stress and worry. The unknown factor , not knowing what to expect , etc etc. I hope it all goes well not only for your son but for the entire program.

I didn't know your son was hurt, best wishes to him.

FOG -- Please extend our best wishes to your son as well for a successful season both on and off the ball field. We hope he is rehabing well.

As I know you know, the best thing he can do is just roll with the change, keep his focus on getting healthy & strong, keep hitting HR's in the classroom, give his all to Coach and team, and let the rest of it sort itself out.

FIGHT ON!

Fan, let us know how things shape up for your son and the team. We all know what a hard worker your son is both on the field and the classroom. Best wishes to you and your son.

We've run into a few of the kids at or entering CSUN each of whom has a somewhat different situation and it is pretty obvious that a new coach is a cause for concern amongst the players whether they are new or well established. I can't see how it would be otherwise given the NCAA transfer penalties and some of the things that have happened in the past at various schools.

Thanks to all my HSBBW friends.You guys have been so helpful to me over the years.

Coach May sending you a PM

Best of luck to FOGJr.
