Kennedy Polamalu is the latest assistant coach to be out at USC this offseason, a source told CBS Friday. The Trojans offensive coordinator was let go by head coach Lane Kiffin in the wake of a disappointing 7-6 season by a team that was voted as the preseason No. 1 pick.
USCFootball.com first reported the story.
Despite an offense featuring the nation's best WR tandem (Marqise Lee and Robert Woods); a four-year starting QB (Matt Barkley) and a pair of running backs that had been 1,000-yard rushers (Silas Redd and Curtis McNeal), the Trojans ranked only sixth in the Pac-12 in scoring and fifth in total offense. Worse still, they were No. 102 in third-down conversions in 2012.
Polamalu, it should be noted, was not USC's play-caller. Lane Kiffin, the head coach, handled the play-calling responsibilities.
The 49-year-old Polamalu, a former USC fullback, is the fourth Trojans assistant to leave the staff this winter, joining defensive coach Monte Kiffin, linebacker coach Scottie Hazelton and defensive backs coach Marvin Sanders

Crazy that they just found Rueben Fosters dad after a 16 year search... He escaped from jail after shooting Rebuens mother while she was holding an 18 month old Reuben... He got shot in the back and she took quite a few as well... He is being looked at another murder the following year

[h1]Game Room: ‘NCAA Football’ Cover Vote[/h1][h2]Parsing the eight finalists to help guide the voting public[/h2]
Entertainment, Game Room
By Adam Levine
EA Sports
After 10 weeks of fan voting, NCAA Football 14 has narrowed its list of cover finalists to eight. The NCAA doesn’t allow active players to endorse products, so the cover candidates are all either graduating seniors or underclassmen who have declared for April’s NFL draft. Not surprisingly, the finalists hail from some of the nation’s most popular programs. Since folks seem to be voting for their favorite teams, we’ve decided to help you all look beyond school ties in order to select the most deserving player. Read on for our pick, then vote the informed vote!
[h2]Eddie Lacy, RB, Alabama[/h2]
Lacy is an amazing running back — but he wasn’t the best rusher on the 2012 Crimson Tide, let alone the best player. If you saw true freshman T.J. Yeldon play last season, you know what we’re talking about. He’s a beast. Trent Richardson was better than teammate and Heisman winner Mark Ingram, and Yeldon was better than Lacy.
Voting advice: Lacy is a championship-caliber back, but he’s not quite cover worthy.
[h2]E.J. Manuel, QB, Florida State[/h2]
Manuel had a decent season, passing for 3,392 yards, 23 touchdowns and 10 picks. But plenty of quarterbacks did the same or better. We’re not looking to assign blame for Florida State botching its national championship shot, but there’s got to be some accountability.
Voting advice: Manuel’s uninspiring performance (218 passing yards, TD, INT) in FSU’s season-defining loss to NC State says it all.
[h2]Jarvis Jones, LB, Georgia[/h2]
Jones is a scary, scary man. He has the ability to take over a game and bend it to his will. And he’s not about the stats or the glory. Whether he’s thrashing a quarterback like a rag doll or blowing up foolish lineman standing in his path of carnage, Jones doesn’t dance around after taking care of business.
Voting advice: Jones will be playing on Sundays very soon, and he has our official endorsement.
[h2]Denard Robinson, QB/RB, Michigan[/h2]
Robinson’s senior season was the worst of his Michigan tenure. He made some impact at running back, but nagging injuries limited his difference-making abilities at quarterback.
Voting advice: This isn’t a lifetime achievement vote, and Robinson’s 2012 campaign doesn’t merit this honor.
[h2]Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame[/h2]
Dude is a tight end. A tight end. Eifert is a great player, but let’s be honest: Manti Te’o should be representing the Irish here. In fact, Te’o probably should’ve been the cover athlete without much debate. But that was before the BCS championship game, in which Te’o was arguably exposed by real first-round talent, and before the infamous girlfriend hoax all but killed his endorsement value.
Voting advice: You don’t need a five-hour call with your sickly fake girlfriend to know this is where the luck of the Irish ends.
[h2]John Simon, DL, Ohio State[/h2]
The Buckeyes pulled off an impressive 12-0 season, and Simon racked up 44 tackles and nine sacks en route to the undefeated regular season. He looks like a mid-round NFL draft pick.
Voting advice: Call it guilt by association, but because Ohio State’s sanctions included a bowl ban last season, an NCAA cover ban seems par for the course.
[h2]Kenjon Barner, RB, Oregon[/h2]
Barner’s 2012 season was impressive: 1,767 rushing yards and 21 rushing scores, plus 256 receiving yards and two more touchdowns. Oregon’s fast-paced brand of football is fun to watch, and it’s a style that’s lock-and-step with how a lot of gamers play NCAA Football.
Voting advice: Barner isn’t a bad choice, but we still like teammate and inevitable future cover contender De’Anthony Thomas a lot more.
[h2]Ryan Swope, WR, Texas A&M[/h2]
Swope ended a strong season with 72 receptions for 913 yards and eight touchdowns. The 6-foot-1 Aggie was a college football standout, but he’s only on the cover radar because Heisman winner Johnny Manziel isn’t draft eligible.
Voting advice: We’ll wait for Johnny Football’s cover after he scores another Heisman or two.

Urban Meyer has gotten into the heads of Michigan fans already... Unbearable to be on the boards with Urban getting Damon Webb and Lawrence Marshall from Michigan for the 2014 class... Have to love it... Most whiney fans in the world for certain

Don't forget Malik McDowell being a Notre Dame lean. I don't know why I keep my Scout subscription. MGoBlog gives all the same info for free.

How were the meltdowns over there??? Rivals, 247sports and GBMWolverine were all pretty bad... Its like Michigan didn't have 13 recruits by this time last year... How soon they forget.

Right now the meltdowns are mostly directed at the bball team but Trieu had to make a post yesterday because people have been going around saying he said that McDowell was an ND lock or lean. He actually said that ND is in a strong position with McDowell but he isn't necessarily leaning toward them. Sam Webb posted that Lawrence Marshall may have committed to Ohio but he will still end up visiting Michigan and Michigan State so his recruitment isn't really over. It's like people forgot we already snagged a top player from Ohio and with the way Cass kids pan out at Michigan I'd trade Ferns for Webb.
