Batoon linked to USC DC opening
https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/linco ... 27739.html
I hope Drink is prepared to pony up. USC's last DC was getting $2 million.
USC has been searching for a new DC for two weeks and has already cycled through several names. Texas DC Pete Kwiatkowski was in the mix along with former Michigan DC Wink Martindale. But a new report has placed Missouri DC’s name at the top.
Missouri’s DC, Corey Batoon, is reportedly in “communications with USC” for its vacant coordinator position. The 57-year-old has been in the coaching game since 1991 and has been Missouri’s DC since 2024.
Throughout his career, Batoon has consistently produced an elite rushing defense and a decent passing defense, focusing his players on stopping big plays. Even before coming to Columbia, the 57-year-old’s defenses were producing high turnovers and showed excellent capability in the red zone. Batoon has a clear track record of immediate impact, a pattern of success that followed him from South Alabama to the SEC. At South Alabama, he transformed a defense ranked 74th in rushing into a top-60 unit in just one year, a feat he later replicated at Missouri.

Re: Batoon linked to USC DC opening
This is what makes icon the biggest troll on this forum.
He hasn't posted anything about the defense all year due to their outstanding play.
Now that the DC gets another offer, he shows how much he ignores good news, as assistant pay raises were a big part of Drink's extension, which of course he constantly complained about while ignoring the facts

Re: Batoon linked to USC DC opening
No, (bleep) about those who post new factual information makes you the biggest troll on this board.
ftr, I have no idea how serious USC is about Batoon, or he about moving west.

Re: Batoon linked to USC DC opening
Hope he looks at the California state tax rate and cost of living out there. The weather might be better out there. But that's about it.
Re: Batoon linked to USC DC opening
IF MU can afford TWO OC's they surely can afford to buck up to retain Batoon. They are in communication fine but they were with two bigger name Guys from Big Brand schools and don't think Lincoln would want to steal from the school his brother just went to.
would NOT be approved by the USC faithful who demand big names and brands IMO. My DIL is one from their medical school.

Re: Batoon linked to USC DC opening
Nothing wrong with using a little leverage on Batoon's part. Taken straight out of Drink's book.
Re: Batoon linked to USC DC opening
Yeah he did. He was connected with both the Michigan and Washington jobs at times.
