USC Morning Buzz: A Perfect Job For Pete Carroll
I keep hearing that Pete Carroll is having a tough time coming to terms with the fact no NFL teams offered him a job after his dismissal by the Seattle Seahawks. Maybe USC can hire Carroll as a consultant. He could offer some defensive pointers to D’Anton Lynn and help Lincoln Riley improve his people skills. Get him to agree to a couple public appearances … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: A Perfect Job For Pete Carroll
The Coaching Carousel Works In Strange Ways
Here’s how the coaching carousel works: Last month, Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh wanted to hire TCU running backs coach Anthony Jones. Jones turned Harbaugh down.

USC Sunday Buzz: Quite A Heisman Statement
Johnny Manziel said he will not attend another Heisman Trophy until Reggie Bush gets his Heisman back. Bush might have a better chance of getting his Heisman back if Manziel instead promised to attend every ceremony until the trophy is returned. Isaiah Collier had a career-high 31 points and made 14 of 20 shots against Washington on Saturday. That’s a player who knows his draft … Continue reading USC Sunday Buzz: Quite A Heisman Statement
