After rumours had been floating around all of last week, Pete Carroll resigned yesterday as HC of the USC Trojans,<\/a> a position he had had for the last 9 years. It is expected that he will be named head coach of the Seattle Seahawks today, the job having just been vacated by the firing of first year coach Jim Mora. Carroll, who had a 97-19 record and won two national championships while in Los Angeles, brought respect back to a long dormant USC program.<\/p>\n

The timing of the departure seems about right, with the Trojan’s seven season conference title winning streak ending this year and with the entire school still under NCAA investigation for a host of possible violations. Originally a NFL refugee when hired at USC, Carroll has oft been mentioned as one of the colllege coaches most likely to make the jump back into the pros.<\/p>\n

Now the search for a new coach can be done in earnest. There are many possibilities, but one name that came out early was Oregon State’s Mike Riley, who was originally in the running for the USC job back in 2000. It is now thought that Riley will not make a move from Corvallis, having just inked a three-year extension that runs through 2019.<\/p>\n

USC enters the coaching sweepstakes a bit late, with less than a month left before national signing day. I think that as a result, you’ll see them name someone probably this week. Updates to come.<\/p>\n
