Pete had every advantage in the book at USC. No reagrds to recruiting rules, the top recruiting classes every year, the PAC 10 was not a strong conference overall until lately, it owuld have been hard for hm not to win at an alrmingly high rate. Having the opposition out-manned at almost every position makes coaching alot easier and covers up alot of bad coaching decisions. If you have to even make any decisions. The NFL will expose him.

Yeah I will NEVER understand how he lost to Stanford that year with Tavita Pritchard starting at QB. I don't care if his QB was playing hurt his backups were better than Stanford's starters almost across the board and they lost at home?

I've never been a big watcher of college football but when USC really started to rise up with Palmer and Leinart, it became a sort of local team for me to follow. Ever since I've watched though, I have never really been impressed with Carrol's coaching.

Sure, when Reggie Bush was out there the Trojans could score points but it seems as though any time the Trojans were evenly matched or outmatched they would lose. And as someone has mentioned already, how did USC continually lose to teams that they far out-classed in talent and depth? Every year they would drop a game to an otherwise mediocre Pac-10 opponent.

That's coaching isn't it?

My first thought was that Carrol would go get Chow from UCLA, make a trade for Leinart and bring in Reggie Bush. All of them should be relatively attainable for next year.
