who gives a crap... they could use some humble pie for a spell... sick and tired of hearing how no one beats USC... they just beat themselves...and the media is totally in love with them... I almost shed a tear when I read an article a few weeks ago dedicated to the topic that USC was having to compete in its first non-BCS bowl this decade....and that t-shirt sales were down because of it.... ahhhh... poor babies!!
Could this have anything to do with the investigations that have been going on forever at USC?

Seriously....how good could he be??? USC was given the benefit of the doubt in the polls after every loss.......May and other clowns (even after 2 losses) were claiming they were the best team in the country (I think that was 2 years ago). They were always in the top of recruiting classes, had a ton of NFL players........and they won 1 NC. Gimme a break. They played in the PAC 10, USC should have rolled the conference every year and walk to the NC.....but no, they would lose 1-2-3 games every year.
He had the best (supposedly) players in the country and could not win it more than once.
Where will USC be......likely on probation thanks to his watch and he gets to walk.
Great recruiter, had great assistants. I would say he is an average college COACH.

They a-goin' down, down, down, down, down.
I think Carroll ends up being like Steve Spurrier in the NFL, not terrible but just mediocre at best.
I do think he will be better this time through. Surely he has learned a few things about coaching since his last NFL shot.
But I really think he is a better recruiter than an X's and O's guy. And that won't help him in the NFL. He's been an outstanding college coach, but how often did he take the field against a team whose talent even remotely approached his own? In the NFL the pure talent is a lot closer to equal across the board every single week.
He'll be ok, but I doubt he'll be the superstar he has been in the college ranks.
Though Carroll may have had the final say on plays and such, the only reason he was successful was USC's resources and his assistants. Just the success rate of his assistants after they left USC is enough to convince me of that. He's manager and mentor more than anything else, imo. He hasn't changed anything, from what I can tell, over his entire career (not including things like individual plays, offenses, or defenses).
