Today, USC Head Coach Pete Caroll decided to leave the Trojans to return to the NFL to coach the Seattle Seahawks. the job became available after Seattle Seahawks Owner Paul Allen fired Head Coach Jim Mora Jr. after only 1 year. Caroll's last experience in the NFL was as the Head Coach of the New England Patriots. He didn't do a terrible job, but not a great job either.
Of course, unless you've been hibernating for the last 9 years, you know that Caroll has led the Trojans to 7 PAC-10 Titles, a National Title in 2004 and finished as a National Runner up in 2005 when the Trojans lost to Vince Young and the Texas Longhorns. Pete Caroll made it clear that he will always cherish his time at USC, but like a lot of men, the excitement of a new challenge whetted his appetite.
Now what do the Men of Troy do? Well, according to reports, the leading candidate is current Jacksonville Jaguars Head Coach Jack Del Rio. Del Rio is interested in taking the USC job and when all is said and done, he may very well be the Trojans' new head coach. However, I have my own suggestion as to who USC should hire as their new coach; current UCLA Offensive Coordinator Norm Chow. Chow was the architect behind the Trojans' offensive success before going to the NFL's Tennessee Titans. finding the NFL not all it was cracked up to be, Chow went to arch rival UCLA where he currently serves as the Bruins' O.C.
From what I have heard, Chow has wanted to be a Head Coach in college. He has a great track record of training great quarterbacks; Philip Rivers, Carson Palmer, Matt Leinert and John David Booty. He can re-install his system, and he can make Matt Barclay, already a decent college quarterback, into a great one. I think USC should give Chow at least an interview. That's my opinion, and I welcome yours.
