Wayne Moses, a veteran assistant coach, joined the staff on Wednesday afternoon. This is Moses' second tour of duty in Westwood; he was the the running back coach for the Bruins from 1990 - 1995. Most recently, Wayne was the running back coach with the Rams.Moses has a lot of connections with Rick Neuheisel. They were both assistants at UCLA in the early 90's and Wayne was on Rick's staff at Washington for three years. This will be their third time working together and Neuheisel obviously has a lot of faith in Moses' coaching ability. Wayne brings 28-years of college coaching experience to the table, so that faith is definitely deserved.
Keeping true to the "SC Connection" that a lot of our coaches have, Moses was the RB coach under Pete Carroll in his first season with the Trojans. Like Norm Chow, Moses and Carroll aren't exactly best friends. Per Scott Wolf:
"[Mosese] was fired by Carroll after USC's first season (largely due to a falling out with Lane Kiffin) and pretty much became the first coach to become disenchanted and end their friendship with the soon-to-be successful Trojans coach."Nice! This coaching staff definitely has USC locked into their sites.
