Just two days before the Trojans? opener against Minnesota, USC announced today that assistant football coach Willie Mack Garza had resigned his position.
USC?s official statement:
USC secondary coach Willie Mack Garza has resigned for personal reasons.Garza?s resignation is a direct result of comments made to NCAA investigators earlier this week by former recruiting service operator Willie Lyles. In those comments, Lyles revealed to NCAA officials that he had previously had a working relationship with Garza.
?I stepped down today from my coaching duties at USC,? said Garza, who was in his second year at USC. ?I have some personal issues unrelated to USC that I need to address. I wish the Trojans the best and I am sorry I won?t be with them in what I know will be a very successful season.?
Garza spent last season at USC and was hired by current Trojan Coach Lane Kiffin in a similar capacity at Tennessee, serving as an assistant coach for the Volunteers in 2009.
