It's a quiet day up in the football offices today. Just hours after Coach Carroll made his announcement official, ESPN is on the TV in the background ready to show the Seahawks press conference announcing their new head coach.
Yet this is also a time for action. As players and coaches wait to hear more news about the hiring of a new head coach, recruiting calls are still being made, film is still being watched and weights are still being lifted. The players can't wait to get started with offseason workouts.
It has begun already.

Well said Matt. It is nice to see our QB being more of a man then are old coach. Fight on
Good job Matt. Stay focused on the future. Being part of the Trojan Family is something that can't be taken away. Family stays and fights for each other. You have many fans around the Trojan nation that stand behind the team. It's the players that won all those games. Pete Carroll was a great coach, but didn't score one touchdown for USC in his 9 years. Make sure the players know how much we appreciate them and will be cheering them on in 2010 and beyond. Fight On!!
USC Football is and will always be about the players and its alums who make up the Trojan Family. Keep your eyes on the prize, men. We are very proud of how you are handling this very difficult situation and we look forward to seeing you all take the field in 2010.
Go get, 'em, Barks. You're the face of the program now. Your shoulders are big. You're saying the right stuff. Keep the guys together. Garrett will find a great coach. Fight on!
Every problem is an unsolved opportunity. New Trojan legends and leaders will develop from your efforts. No fair weather fan here. You men fire me up. Fight On...
Thanks to you and all the players for showing such poise and leadership. We are so proud of you.
Fight on Matt! We appreciate your hard work and dedication! Time to move on and support the PLAYERS!
We should count our lucky stars that he is our QB dude is a leader.
Fight On Trojans!!!!
FIGHT ON, Matt! 2010 is going to be a great year!
Thanks Matt. It's comforting having a QB with the maturity and leadership you show. I'm excited to watch you grow and become even better next year and the years following. God Bless and Fight On!
