USC Notes: What Will Pete Carroll Be Doing?

USC has not announce what class Pete Carroll is “teaching” next semester.

But this would be my guess. A course where he is co-teaching and can pretend not to make it about sports but the “entrepreneurial” mindset.

  • Carroll was in Seattle on Friday night and met with Jen Cohen and others at a USC reception.
  • The USC’s offensive line posted a season-high 81.0 grade vs Washington on pass blocking, according to Pro Football Focus. Do the stats take into account how many heavily Washington was rushing the quarterback?
  • The USC-Nebraska game will be at 1 p.m. PT and on the Fox Network (Channel 11). This is great news because it is Homecoming, which should always be a day game.

  1. My dream scenario: One of Pete’s mentors was Bud Grant. Grant had to come out of retirement to save the Vikings after they hired the disaster also known as Les Steckel. Barry Alvarez coached a couple of bowl games after a coaching change also. Pete may not be a long-term solution but would be a great band aid, with Coach O joining him, then O taking over as the Full-Time SC coach about 12 years later than he should have.

  2. Another season, shot to hell. Let Maiava play against the Huskers. If the ball that hit the husky defender cleanly right on his chest had been picked, that would have been 4 interceptions on the day.

  3. It’s become more obvious that Lincoln Riley is not a competent head coach. He could be a OC which he appears better suited for. We need a coach like Jim Harbaugh. He has been successful in developing football programs everywhere he’s been. He demands the most from his coaches and players and able to get his players to fully buy into his program and they want to play for him. I’m very skeptical that LR has been able to do this. I don’t see this changing anytime soon.

      2. Budda,

        I man up and stand corrected. You said Riley would be no good. I said that he would. After three years and the wins become less each year, you were/are correct. Riley will never be ready for SC. It is a pressure cooker of a job and you have to think on you feet and think fast and have a play ready to go and a defense that is ready. Mckay, Robinson, and Carroll did it. Tolner, Smith, Hackett, Robinson II did not.
