Now here's the details. These are two interviews that Ted Miller did with Cal's Jeff Tedford and USC's Pete Carroll.
I would like you to pay special attention to the dealings with their respective quarterback situations, then I want you to remember that USC has finished in the top 4 for the last 7 years.
The quarterback situation has been an issue seemingly every year that I have been at Cal, ayoob/levy/longshore, levy/longshore, longshore/riley, riley/ mansion/ that other guy. It is just an easy way for Tedford to eschew blame off of himself and onto the quarterbacks. If we do bad, it's because no guy stepped up and wanted the quarterback position.
Whereas if anything goes wrong over at USC at QB then it is handled professionally so as not to make it a big deal, like John David Booty/ Sanchez or now with Corp/Barkley.
My question is how Tedford can't understand that he is coaching his team like High school basketball, one mistake and you're out. How is a player supposed to function/make decisions/throw the tough pass when he is constantly worried about getting pulled? He has no confidence because not even his coach vocally believes in him.
People dream about playing football for Carroll. He is a winner and a cheerleader for his players (with the exception of when they decide to go pro, but hey, he still has two of the best qbs in the country).
Well, don't let me sway your vote in this game. So what are the differences?
