USC coach Pete Carroll was asked about speaking to Nebraska athletic director Steve Pederson for advice about taking the USC job in 2000. Pederson was then the athletic director at Pittsburgh and said he spoke to Carroll.
Carroll said he didnt remember it but then said, “I might have called him about the Carolina job.
North Carolina fired Carl Torbush in 2000 and replaced him with John Bunting.
Carrolls memory was not the greatest Tuesday. He also forgot taking the entire coaching staff to watch tailback Marlon Lucky, who ended up at Nebraska.
