So, what does Carroll do and can you see him being tempted by another chance to prove himself in the NFL in the next 12 months?
He was a "failure" in New England and with the Jets and has recently revived one of the most popular college programs in the nation, lives in LA and has a job security most NFL coaches can only dream of. Heīs always struck me as a guy thatīs more suited to coaching College kids rather than 24-year old millionaires. The only way at USC for 1 or 2 years probably is down but we all know the truly hard thing isnīt building a team, but rather keeping a team up, so he has the chance to prove himself as a truly great coach if he stays and keeps the Trojans up. I know what he said 2 weeks ago ("I wonīt interview for any job outside of USC this year") and for me heīd be an idiot to quit USC now, but thereīs rumors he made those statements to test the water and has sent his feelers out if thereīs an NFL team thatīs willing to give him full control and a contract in the region of about $ 5-6m per year. And the true problem might be this: Right now at USC heīs getting paid something like $ 1.2-1.5m, which is a pretty low salary compared to other top College coaches like Mack Brown or Bob Stoops. I canīt see USC not giving him a pay rise, but you never know.
