Week In Review
Here's some coaching moves over the Christmas break period. None at USC, of course.
Rich Ellerson, who guided Cal Poly to several outstanding seasons in recent years, has been named head coach at Army... Michael Haywood has left Notre Dame as offensive coordinator to become head coach at Miami (Ohio) ... Russ Huesman is the new head coach at Tennessee- Chattanooga, ... Rob Ambrose has been selected as head coach at Towson... Arizona head coach Mike Stoops had his contract extended through 2013... Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson agreed to a seven-year contract extension... Steve Addazio has been tabbed as new offensive coordinator at Florida. He replaces Dan Mullen, the new head coach at Mississippi State... Tulsa has elevated coaching staff members Herb Hand to assistant head coach/offensive coordinator, Mike Norvell to receivers coach and passing game coordinator... Golden Hurricane's former co-offensive coordinator and QB coach Gus Malzahn is becoming offensive coordinator at Auburn...
Oh, and you forgot to mention that ol' Rick New Weasel's meltdown started across town after he tried to convince recruits that he had Ken Norton Jr. coming back to coach at UCLA. Funny thing is, Ken realized that coaching at UCLA is tantamount to career suicide, and he wised up quickly. At USC, he is coaching All-Americans and future NFL stars. At UCLA, he would be scraping the bottom of the barrel. With Walker already on his way out of town, and Norm Chow soon to follow if he ever wises up about the lack of talent in Westwood, poor little Ricky will be left alone with bare cupboards in the coaching and personnel departments. Can't wait for his next stage production at which he will feign innocence. All of the country already knows he is short on honesty, except those who drink the UCLA football Kool-Aid.
