Pete Carroll Resigns as USC's Head Coach

PrintI don't reallly have much to offer on this.
I will have more tomorrow, but I did want to put something up of substance.
It is pretty much being reported everywhere that Pete Carroll has turned in his resignation but we have yet to hear that from USC or Carroll himself.
I am not upset...this all makes perfect sense. When you look back on the season you could see the toll being taken. Pete Carroll has said in the past that a coaches message tends wear thin within 5-7 years...Carroll has been at USC for 9. It is clear that it was time for him and time for USC.
The reasons at this point are immaterial...people will and have already drawn their own conclusions. That is fine, but we must move on...
So where are we?
Hard to say, there are rumors that Mike Riley will not be coming and that Jack Del Rio is the #1 candidate but again that is speculation. Del Rio is still employed by Jacksonville. There are other names out there. Guys like Mariucci I have read are interested in the job...why not? USC is an elite job who wouldn't want it.
This my personal opinion but I see Garrett's finger prints all over this.
Think about it...
1) Messy exit
2) Non-communication
3) Disrespect of the players/recruits
Remind you of anything or anyone?
Hint?
Tim Floyd
This is Garrett's MO
When has Pete Carroll ever treated his players or recruits like this.
Pete Carroll always communicates with recruits and he always looks out for his players.
I realize that in this situation that PC couldn't contact players or recruits directly but Garrett certainly could have. He could have directed the coaches to make sure they were looked after and he didn't.
I really don't have much more to offer right now.
If you guys see anything post it up in the FanPosts...I will be back on it first thing in the AM...

As Caesar departs in his chariot for Seattle, an athletic dept. official said, ``this department is in flames.’’

This couldn’t be more amateur-hour if they tried. I don’t have a problem with Pete leaving but when Arash Markazi has correctly identified the news release strategy as text messages and maybe Twitter. something’s badly wrong.
Mind you, it’s nothing on the “John Robinson won’t come into the office to be fired” debacle that Garrett kicked off with, back in the day.
Ah… good times they were DC, good times.

It's all bullshit
The whole situation is being handled very poorly, their is no damage control, no one is out in front of this whole mess. Where is crisis management, oh yeah where is the fn AD? Where are the Board of Trustees, one would think that someone would take control of this situation.
Rome is burning!
It turns out that "always compete" was just a bullshit slogan.
The Pac-10 finally wised up to his act so he’s running for the hills. Of course the $35 Million helps!

Honestly it is very VERY unlikely for
there to be any sanctions put on football based on the non-investigation into Mr. Bush’es alleged salary.
The only reason for a coach not to take the job is because they think the administration of the athletic dept is screwed up. And all but a very few coaches will still take the big step up to coach at $c.

Here are the reasons, IMO
1) MG’s incompetence
2) Personal strife. Press outed marital problems. Divorce is a possibility. Why go through that in LA with the paps? Move to a new city.
3) Big money and big control in Seattle.
It's a business
USC will hire a new elite coach w/in 7 days. Don’t freak out. Every coach leaves eventually. It’s a business.
No, no, no..
I’m saying why didn’t he contact his players prior to all this stuff.
by Julio Nievas on Jan 10, 2010 10:31 PM PST up reply actions
It is my understanding
that frequently the AD’s office tells the coaches to cut off all contact immediately. not uncommon, but more typical for coaches leaving for another school.
but, what is he going to tell them? he has no clue who the knew coach will be. better to give interim coach power to assistants under contract to hold down the fort til the new coach is hired/
Plus you can only contact recruits directly once a week. When you call you have to be ready to provide some answers.

Well shit. As long as we’re trading in rumors, I was talking to someone this weekend who just moved here from Manhattan Beach and said it was treated as common knowledge there that there had been shenanigans, and that the move to Seattle is a result of “we both leave here or I leave you” ultimatum from his wife.
I’m assuming that this is all idle gossip but it’s worth mentioning because sometimes perception is reality… and hell, I don’t know what the guy gets up to in his free time. SC is kind of a target-rich environment in that regard.
Well, I didn’t want to go there but I used to live in MB too and shenanigans were indeed common knowledge. BTW, if you ever want to get an eyeful of the Manhattan Beach action just visit the Shade Hotel on a Friday night, vavavavoom! Señora Loco wouldn’t let me anywhere near the place.

There’s a nucleus of coaches that have pledged to stay in order to save the recruiting class. Norton could have served as a linchpin and an obvious front runner for the DC position. It appears that the following are gone: Norton, Bates and Seto. The following may stay on the job: Ruel, McNair, Morton, Franklin, and… Brennan?

Corvallis, Ore. -
Oregon State University head football coach Mike Riley has agreed to a three-year contract extension, Beaver Director of Athletics Bob De Carolis announced late Sunday evening. The contract ensures the 56-year-old Riley will be on the sidelines for OSU through the 2019 season.
"Due to the fact there is a lot of speculation on my future, I want to make it known that I’m very excited to be coaching at Oregon State University and I anticipate doing so for a long time," Riley said from the American Football Coaches Association convention in Orlando, Fla.
And that is that
Carroll just made Riley a whole lot richer.

Yes, in a whiny lispy voice
Wolf just stated the following:
Pete went to Mike Garrett and said Seattle is interested in him and that he is interested in Seattle but that he didn’t know what to do. Mike told him to take the job!
PS He looked very tan and was not wearing a futbol jersey.
It makes perfectly stupid sense, only Garret could have said something like that.

Just a thought
Fire MG + Replace PC with an equally or greater suited coach = SC return to glory w/o the bad rap?
Share the thoughts.
Who can equal PC?
He was the best coach ’SC has ever had

Yep, Oregon officially became the top dog in the Pac-10 today. We need to put those marsh dwellers back in their place.

Petersen does a lot with the recruits he gets, Boise State plays sound football, but he’s not afraid to use “trick” plays to get a situational advantage… and aside from Ian Johnson getting busted for selling knitted hats, when was the last time you heard about those players falling foul of the NCAA?
Note: I’m not saying there aren’t any shenanigans, just that they are discreet.
Rogue bake sales are common in Idaho.

He’s in Boise though. I think Long Beach is bigger than Boise.

My brother used be way into the ska scene in the OC when he was in HS. Strangely it draws both nazi skins and Mexicans. Anyway, he used to say that Long Beach was one of the few places where skinheads actually had something to be afraid of, owing to the routine ass-kickings they took from unamused members of the community.
Yep, don’t want to be caught while Mexican in Boise.

I agree with you that there aren't any shenanigans
But arrested when fishing on a Giraffe’s back? Now that’s pretty serious

Yes! Those of us that are old enough know this to be the truth. PC started to come close but didn’t reach the gold standard.

It's alright Ma, I'm only bleeding....
My vote goes to John McKay I grew up on SC football with him and besides he was better with the press. But Pete’s #2.
When does spring ball start???
Haha, today Pete IS #2
I decided to go to USC when I watched USC pound Bear Bryant’s all white Alabama team in September 1970. The 1972 unanimous National Champion team clinched it for me!

Was the UCLA rivalry
Bigger then or now?
by Julio Nievas on Jan 10, 2010 11:18 PM PST up reply actions
UCLA was irrelevant, but we shared the Coli, so the impious worms would invade and defile our lovely campus.

Used to live in Bel Air and had to listen to the fucla band practice, but my brothers and I would drive through their row during big game week in my mom’s station wagon leaving a trail of Cardinal and Gold paint on the street.
How about seeding Spaulding field with Cardinal and Gold flowers!

Strange times here we come.
Well how many people would have guessed that the same thing Mike Garrett did to Tim Floyd would be happening to Pete Carroll less than a year later? What a joke he is, and there is no way he survives this.

Hopefully some good news continues tomorrow
I want to wake up tomorrow to read the words “JACK DEL RIO” and “IS THE NEW HEAD COACH AT USC”. Or something like that.
What a weekend…
What keeps me up at night
Aside from coaching changes and the banter of course…
1. completing performance assessments that have to be in the system before ~ 7 eastern. (4 hours to go!)
2. MS Excel getting squirrelly and randomly changing what it thinks it’s seeing from the keyboard, such that “a” is “q,” etc.
3. The price of flying to the motherland in the middle of July. This is going to be one expensive family wedding.
Sounds like rough sailing for the next few hours.
