Tim Floyd out at USC

Report: USC's Floyd resigns
Yahoo! Sports

Tim Floyd has resigned as coach of the USC men's basketball team, according to a report from the Clarion Ledger of Jackson, Miss.

Floyd reportedly made the university aware of his intentions Tuesday, less than one month after a Yahoo! Sports report detailing an alleged $1,000 payment from Floyd to a runner with ties to former Trojans guard O.J. Mayo. Such a payment would constitute a major violation of NCAA rules. Floyd didn't appear to address the allegation in a letter to USC athletics director Mike Garrett, which was obtained by the Clarion Ledger.

"Unfortunately, I no longer feel I can offer the level of enthusiasm to my duties that is deserved by the university, my coaching staff, my players, their families, and the supporters of Southern Cal," the letter said, according to the Ledger. "I always promised myself and my family that if I ever felt I could no longer give my full enthusiasm to a job, that I should leave it to others who could. I intend to contact my coaching staff and my players in coming days and weeks to tell them how much each of them means to me. I wish the best to USC and to my successor."

It's only the beginning.

He's going to get in trouble for Rendaro too.

Didn't he take the job at Arizona and then resign so he could go back to USC?

So glad we ended up with Miller. Floyd didn't come here because he had a "better job"

And now we are abut to take another of his recruits inFranklin.

I don't think we take Momo, he would take away a 2010 Scholarship, and that class has a lot of potential for us.

@ this dude thinking that HandsomeHustla is really Lil' Romeo.

 

[starburyptgod]

Not surprised he was running a dirty program out there, but surprised by the timing.

Momo is not going 2 Zona

Gary Franklin will.

 

[uter zorker]

I think Franklin is almost for sure to go to Arizona as he was a huge Arizona lean before the whole Lute fiasco.

 

[hybridsoldier23]

Someone probably paid him to quit.

He'll probably go wherever else he can get paid. Bama.

Administration pushed out Floyd plain and simple. The latest allegations was the last straw for Steven Sample (USC's President). The rumor of Floyd gettingaxed has been circling for over a month now.

But USC was asking for this the day they hired Floyd he has been dirty from day one

im sure alot more is going to leak out about this in the next couple of days

 

[johnnyredstorm]

And yet Norm Roberts is still coaching St. John's

Na but this was a good move on USC's behalf. Floyd would have buried that program.
