The best coaches have always been dinged for their players. Name me the top coaches in their profession....they always have great players. Red Auerbach? Pat Riley? Tom Landry? Knute Rockne? all these legends had some of the best players in the game at the time. The argument doesn't hold much water.

You dont accomplish what PC has accomplished without being a great coach. As a matter of fact, the critique is ridiculous. I have heard people say that SC cheats, that they run a dirty program, etc...I have never heard that PC is not a good coach.

I think Carroll is a fantastic coach for one simple reason - the players he gets are better when they leave USC than when they arrived at USC.
