Larry Smith Not Giving USC Proper Leadership

After reading Jerry Crowe’s article, “Goal Line Stand,” June 9, on Larry Smith and USC football program and its current problems, I came to the conclusion that the program is not only lacking in leadership but more importantly in integrity.

If a coach is to be considered in control of his program, then he has to take a stand and have the guts to suspend all players accused of misconduct until their guilt or innocence has been proved. In this way, he shows his integrity and his concern for those players that follow the rules.
