``I do not wait for people to win (before I hire them). I try to capture them at the point where they burst out, i.e. Pete Carroll.''

Four-star Lache Seastrunk (Temple, Texas) will not take a scheduled trip to USC following the coaching change, ESPN affiliate Web site DuckTerritory.com reports.

"No, I am not visiting USC this coming weekend. I don't plan on visiting USC at this point. I'm aware of the new coach and it will likely not change my decision moving forward. I have cancelled this trip, I have no other visits planned, and I'm actually hoping to have my decision very soon."

Oregon, Auburn, LSU and Memphis along with the Trojans are believed to be the schools still under consideration for the ESPNU 150 prospect.

This sounds as bad news since Oregon may land him. Also, with D.J. Morgan injured and Dillion Baxter possibly decommiting , USC may not have a running back recruit that will play.

I hope as a USC fan that Baxter stays.

Just like Timmeh, Slobinson II and Hacket. Actually, JR was bursting out now that I think of it.

Sure Mike... and getting your third or fourth choice each time is apart of the grand plan as well you lucky fool. PC fell in your lap and you know it... each time you open your mouth you look more foolish than the last.

Wow, a whole one line quote for Second-hand Wolf. What TV interview did this come from? I noticed that the SC AD gave LAT a full one-on-one interview. Guess you get the scraps of the blogs huh Wulf.

i found it amusing MG referred to "the universe of Southern California" ...what an egomaniac.

i also found it amusing that in his Tennessee parting presser, Coach Andy Dufrense called Southern Cal..."Southern Cal". i have been scolded on numerous occasions about using that "disrespectful" term.

WTF Author Profile Page said:

LMAO. He also said

"I have a Fuking Heisman!!!!!! I don't do searches for these Fuking coaches. They come and beg ME, a Heisman Winner, for jobs! ME!"

"I turn worms into butterflies, damn it. I am the GREATEST! I have a fuking Heisman. Did I mention that? I won the FIRST Heisman! I built HH!!! OJ, Marcus, Reggie, Charles...pfffff...What have they done? I'm THE TAILBACK in Tailback-U. Did I mention I'm THE GREATEST? Not Ali. ME!! ME!! M-I-K-E-G-A-R-R-E-T-T. MIKE GARRETT!"

Take it easy on Scotty, FreeThinker. Smeagol-Wolf should be commended for his superb copy and paste skills... maybe someday his grammar, typing and fact/source checking skills will be on par with the third rate "journalist" he's currently masquerading as

I wouldn't worry about losing Seastrunk. Word on Rivals is that he's slipping on their boards because of lack of effort. I don't think we need guys like that on the roster.

GET CHOW NOW!

the sports press is giving scalding reviews of Kiffin's bailing on Tennessee, his lack of ability, and SC for hiring him

look to this decade to be a repeat of the 90s

Norm Chow would be making a big mistake moving back to Hoover and Exposition in this situation

WTF Author Profile Page said:

Stop all these nonsense about Norm Chow. This is about ME, MIKE GARRETT! I made pete carroll a very rich man. I made USC. I am USC Football. pete carroll was a nobody until he met ME, MIKE GARRETT! Now he's gone, he'll be a nobody again in no time. None of these coaches were any good until I, MIKE GARRETT, hired them. Did I mention I'm THE GREATEST, MIKE GARRETT, a Heisman Winner!!!!! It's been a long day. This is MIKE GARRETT signing off for the night.

anyone else realize that the only one's spewing venom and predicting failure and mocking USC's hire are UCLA people. Get a life...SC fans are elated with the outcome of this coaching search and even happier that we are screwing UCLA in the process...I'll say it again...watch Rick Neuheisal ruin the offense next year like he did in Baltimore and watch as the USC basketball team smothers you in the pac-10....

Have a great day!

These pathetic bRUINS are not thinking that they could somehow damage or even destroy our football program by loitering around here, are they? It looks like they "think" they smelled the blood with that possible NCAA sanctions which has been in the news for the last few years. But look knuckleheads, USC football is an institution, and a very special one at that. I don't believe we would be punishable in any measure, but even if we were, that's not going to be nearly enough to destroy us. We'll ALWAYS be around in college football as one of the most prestigious programs in the country. As for the bRUINS, NOT!!! LMAO!!!

Mike Garrett better grow a pair and handle these dimwits that he just hired to our new coaching staff.

Already Orgeron is dipping his foot in the s4itpile and his actions could lead to more sanctions of our program.

Honestly, fire Mike Garrett! And careful not to let the door hit your a$$ on the way out MG. But if MG stays, he better get these clowns in check.

MG is doing a great job. Look at the record. Then shut the F up. Don't confuse activity with results. MG has gotten results.

I *never* got USC's problem with "Southern Cal." First, it is absolutely crystal clear to what the speaker is referring, unlike the unfortunate confusion with South Carolina (which, contrary to popular belief, didn't finally settle on the University of South Carolina name until 1906). Here in Chattanooga, calling it "Southern Cal" makes things much easier.

Also, the outfield wall (IIRC) at Rosenblatt Stadium just looks stupid with 11 championships for Southern Cal and one for U.S.C.

Mike Garrett is a walking, talking buffoon. Get him the heck out of Heritage Hall now!
