Coaches
Does Pete Carroll like his martini shaken, not stirred? Does Tim Floyd really demand a mini SC umbrella in every mixed-drink? If you want to see these questions (and many more) answered first hand, sign up for one of the seven event dates, May 28th to June 12th, for the third annual USC Coaches Tour. As lifted from CSTV:
The 2008 USC Coaches Tour, featuring Pete Carroll and Tim Floyd, is set to kick off for the third year in a row as the two head coaches visit Trojans throughout California to give USC fans and boosters the opportunity to hear first-hand accounts of the latest comings and goings at Troy.
Each of the seven dates on the tour feature a cocktail reception at 6 p.m. and a dinner and program that start at 7 p.m. Among the parts of the program are a Q&A session with both coaches and a silent auction. Business casual attire is suggested.
Proceeds from the tour will benefit the Mario Danelo Endowed Scholarship and the Ryan Francis Endowed Scholarship funds.
All your friends will think you're the ultimate bad-ass when they see the photos of you, in between Carroll and Floyd. Plus it all goes to a descent cause. Please see the CSTV site for information regarding tickets, dates and RSVP information.

The scene was on court at the Galen Center again, where a couple times Pete Carroll expressed his desire to see Tim Floyd's bunch hand the Bruins another loss this year.
Carroll said this class was about "bigs" not "flash" and he felt fortunate that the Trojans were in a position to play it this way, this year. Joe McKnight was sure excited about the 5 solid offensive line prospects.
After the jump are some notes from last nights event.

The Oakland Raiders are denying an ESPN report that owner Al Davis wants Lane Kiffin to resign as head coach. Kiffin went 4-12 in his first year as the Raiders head coach, doubling their wins from the previous season. Despite the meager record, the Raiders have shown marked improvement under Kiffin's direction. The report alleges that Davis had drafted a letter of resignation for Kiffin to sign.
Whether or not the allegations prove to be true, we've put together a little scenario as to how the "resignation" debacle might have played out.

<!--start image--><!-- end image-->Coaches had hoped to talk All Pac-10 right guard Chilo Rachal out of leaving early, but they did not get the chance. Offensive guards hardly ever crack the first round of the NFL Draft, and Rachal's status likely was diminished by the sprained knee that sidelined him for three-plus game...

The season which was more than once dubbed the fall of Troy landed the USC Trojans the #3 spot in the nation in the AP's closing poll. After blowing out Illinois in the Rose Bowl 49-17, USC finished the season third, only behind two-loss national champion LSU #1 and Georgia #2. Missouri #4 and Ohio State #5, rounded out the elite five.
The Coaches Poll was another story, where USC leaped-frogged over Georgia to pick up the #2 spot in the nation, only behind LSU.
