Syracuse University is intrigued by Mike Garrett's hiring abilities and wants to know if he's available for an interview.

Signal to Noise

@Quake 'n' Shake: Syracuse already has the better of the useless ADs: if not for Daryl Gross, USC would have never hired Pete Carroll.

If Mike Garrett were Syracuse AD he'd find a way to force out Jim Boeheim.

His real hiring coup was getting LenDale White for peanuts. Yes, they were honey roasted, but it was still a great deal.

"Here at the University of Southern California, I have a long tradition of picking winners, on and off the field." - Mike Garrett, USC Athletic Director.

"He's not kidding - you should see the underside of his desk! It looks like a graveyard for giant slugs!" - Hernán Rios, USC Maintenance.

Plus, he hired Chad Kreuter to coach their baseball team, which is sorta mindblowing...

He's married to the former coach's daughter. It's not exactly mindblowing how or why he got the job.

"I really felt elated about the fact that this is a person who was available."

It's the least ringing professional endorsement available, unless of course you consider trolling Adult Friend Finder a profession.

Garrett's mother, Edna, hasn't seen judgment this poor since Jo Polniaczek took up smoking.

"I really felt elated about the fact that this is a person who was available."

To which O'Neill responded, "I am absolutely ecstatic to be working for an organization that has a basketball program and offers a salary to coaches."
