Outgoing USC head coach Pete Carroll said it was time to move on in a farewell presser on the USC campus...
Really... who has "farewell" pressers...???
But he emphasized again his departure had nothing to do with looming sanctions from the NCAA. That meeeting with the Committee on Infractions is set for sometime between February 19 and 21 when the COI meets in Tempe, Arizona.
He told Gary Klein of the LA Times Monday morning:
"Not in any way," Carroll said. "Because I know where we stand. It's just a process we have to go through. We know we've fought hard to do right."
Here's the presser, thanks to our friends at KTTV-TV/Fox 11

The Daily News Scott Wolf was on SportsCentral and he explained the beginning of the end between Carroll and AD Mike Garrett

That leaves SC as the jilted lover in all of this... or the ex-girlfriend...

On the flip side, outgoing Seahawks coach Jim Mora was a guest for a full hour on the "Softy and Hugh" Show on KJR-AM in Seattle... Check it out here...
The only issue where Mora gave a bit of a dig was involving the post-season press conference last Wednesday when it is now, somewhat apparent, that Seahawks brass was looking another way...
"If you conduct yourself in an honest way, you'll be fine," he said. "If you're sneaky and suspicious and self-serving, it'll get you. Maybe not immediately, but in the end, you'll pay."
Mora is getting $12-million to leave, so the HQ thinks everything will be fine.
