Pete Carroll said in an interview with 247 that he intends to teach a class at USC for the fall semester. “I’m done coaching,” Carroll said. “I’m looking forward to the class we’ll do at USC in the fall. I’m finished (coaching). I should have done it the year before. “Unfortunately, I had to wind up as the oldest coach in the history of the … Continue reading Pete Carroll Will Be Hanging Around USC In Fall
Pete Carroll and Mack Brown have been named coaches of the 2027 Polynesian Bowl, a rematch of their legendary national title game at the Rose Bowl.

You know what wins college football games? Defense and running the ball. Does Riley prioritize those? I bet Cignetti does. Vince Lombardi used to say football is two things: blocking and tackling. All these things were hallmarks of … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Football Is Simple For Elite Coaches
I hear new UCLA football coach Bob Chesney has purchased a home that makes him neighbors with a member of the USC Board of Trustees. After USC played Notre Dame in the early 1970’s, Hubbard flew back to Los Angeles on the team plane.
