McNair Statement
Todd McNair's lawyer released a statement here:
``Coach McNair and USC are separating on friendly terms. It is my understanding that this decision does not in any way indicate that USC agrees with the finding against Coach McNair. I understand USC is going to continue to work closely with me and Todd to appeal his finding and penalty.''
Just so everyone is clear on things, it is completely out of order for an assistant coach to be let go on June 30th when his contract is up. USC contracts always expire on June 30th, which is the end of the fiscal year. But football coaches are let go after the season, so the head coach can replace him quickly and the assistant coach can find a job.
This departure shows no signs of being football-related. If it were, why wasn't McNair released like Pat Ruel and Rocky Seto?
Reading between the lines, McNair might be playing nice because he wants to rejuvenate his own reputation and remain hireable in college football.
The reason McNair is playing nice is because, he got a nice very nice going away package. Hey Wolf do some digging u will be surprise what u will find!!!!
hater4life, What a sad, lonely life you must lead.
Now he's free to be hired by PC !!!!!!!!!!!!
PC ALWAYS takes care of his buddies, even the ones who fall on the sword for him, right Wolfie?
Scott stop trying so hard. This provides SC a way to get at the evidence that the NCAA says it has, like the phone tapes and a deposition of Lake.
SW, you are no doubt an a$$. Period. It is also obvious you have no pipeline for inside information. Does Gary Klein call you after he's submitted his stories? Pathetic.
@Mike, not so much and Trust me when I say that McNair was taken care off by $uc...
That statement was almost as pathetic as Mark McGuire's "can we all get along?" speech in front of Congress...the Trogan PR dept is on overdrive!
Too funny!
How is it that 2 people can post messages under the same screen name? It appears that the "Mike" above is in boldface type where my name is not. Is boldface enough to make a screen name unique or do screen names not need to be unique on this blog? In case it is unclear what I am getting at, I did not post the message above.
Kibbles McNair and I are separating on friendly terms. It is my understanding that this decision does not in any way indicate that I agree with the finding against Kibbles McNair. I understand that I will continue to work closely with Kibbles and his lawyer to appeal the finding and penalty.
Sincerely,
McNair's pit bull
Rocky is working with Pete Carroll at Seattle.
His departure isn't football related, unless you think that recruiting is important to college football. McNair, is an ok coach (I don't think I would describe Joe McKnight & others as fundamentally sound RB's) but a great recruiter (insert ucla guy joke about some type of payment). The fact that he got a recruiting ban, leaves you with an ok coach with a bad reputation. That isn't really going to work. He ends up getting an extra month's salary and SC doesn't look like it is freaking out by cutting hum loose a day after the hammer dropped. I find it funny that reporters & bloggers are freaking out because both sides are trying to handle this professionally, rather than starting a Jerry Springer name calling fight.
The guy has a shady background, but he absolutely got jobbed when the NCAA labeled him a liar when he truthfully answered their questions, where they just happened to give him the wrong dates. SC deserves to be punished, but the process that the NCAA uses is shameful.
amazing some straggling Kook-Aid guzzlers still believe the Pit Bull Whisperer. for your amusement, here is a picture of Todd McNair never meeting the New Era Boyz
