About This Page: This is a discussion on Football within the LetsGoKings.com forums, at Los Angeles Kings Hockey Fan Forum. Arkansas: Houston Nutt resigned. Butch Davis was the hot rumor until he recently signed a new deal with UNC.
Georgia Tech: Chan Gailey fired.
Michigan: Lloyd Carr resigned. Rumors about
He's going to have a ton of talent with him. Orgeron might have been an average head coach but he's an ace recruiter.
USC would be smart to try and bring him back, especially with all the ties Orgeron has in the South now.

Carroll is backing up Dorrell... and you know what that means.

On these matters, though, you would think Carroll would be considered an expert.
"I think he's done a fantastic job," Carroll said. "I think they have had the issues that can stagger a program with the quarterback situation that they have had, let alone other injuries that they have had."
Carroll ticked off the names of the teams across the nation that have lost their starting quarterbacks at times, including his own, and how they have all suffered.
"I think they have gone to a couple levels beyond where most teams go where you have to go to your backup quarterback," Carroll said. "To have to suffer through that back and forth, they found ways to win and created an opportunity to win when a lot of other teams wouldn't have. . . . He's found a way to keep his team together."
I asked, of course, just as you would, whether Carroll was praising Dorrell just to keep him around because it'd be the best thing for USC in the long run.
He said no, which is understandable after Dorrell's team cost the Trojans a chance to play for a national title last year.
"It's not a coach's fault guys get hurt," Carroll said. "It's almost too much to ask when things happen like that."
Carroll talked about the injury to John David Booty and how it affected the Stanford game, and the fact the Trojans had to take on Oregon with a backup quarterback.
"I think it's a fact [Dorrell] has been up against extraordinary odds," Carroll said, "and we understand what it's like."
