New Blog: Voodoo Five for South Florida Bulls Fans!

We have been hearing quite a bit of chatter throughout the day today that Garrett could be on his way out as the Trojans' director of athletics. Talk along the lines of "you're fired!"

Several prominent boosters and school officials are said to be far from pleased with the current state of athletics at the school -- particularly the dark NCAA cloud looming over the two highest-profile sports -- and most, if not all, of the chatter concerning Garrett revolves around what the boosters may or may not have up their long-reaching, omnipotent sleeves.

Garrett on shaky ground at USC?

Take it for what it is worth. I do not see this happening at this time...

timing is terrible...

we need to get rid of this guy but we dont have time to hire a new AD, hire a coach, and save the recruiting class.
But i mean, he should be fired solely for what happened to the baseball team. football and basketball are nails in the coffin

At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.

I agree, timing is terrible

He should be fired AFTER ’SC hires a new coach.

There’s never going to be a good time to do it. There’s competent people on staff that can take over on an interim basis

FIRE MIKE GARRETT! FIRE HIM NOW!

This is TRUE!!

We do have several STARS on the AD staff. Form a special committee of the BoT chaired by Pat Haden to oversee the work of an Interim AD from the AD staff, and we would not skip a beat.

Mike Garrett should have been asked to retire years ago when the Institutional Control investigation commenced.

Now that’s an idea! Hire Pat Haden as AD, take him away from the Domers

I have been thinking that

He probably makes a ton of jack $$$ with his Riordan investment firm. But, perhaps he has made so much, that he would be willing to take on a labor of love. Pat Haden would be a great AD because 1) he is a savvy businessman, and 2) he is a tried and true Trojan athlete. He bleeds Cardinal and Gold. But, #1 far outweighs #2 in importance.

You called it first Tex

BTW, there’s a little matter of a cowboy steak pending. Roll Tide!

Haha!

Or I’ll come to Dallas to claim my prize! I’m probably going to take my kid to visit SMU sometime this spring.

SMU is recruiting out here like crazy, they love kids from Cali. If we go it will be during spring break. Send me an email, my address is on my fan page.

I'm telling you, Pete's laid down the gauntlet

Either Pete goes or Garrett goes. Calling in Daryl Gross!

The New USC Football Complex, Plaza, and Gardens is breaking ground in May 2010

The “whales” all know each other and they can kill the project with just a few phone calls.

Fuck the Rooney Rule

Then again, there are those reports that said PC and ’hawks are still discussing and NO deal is done. The sooner we hire a coach the better. Huge recruiting weekend in 6 days.

He'll have to pull the trigger in the next 24 hours
