Hold everything. Those reports yesterday that 49ers assistant Clancy Pendergast is about to become USC's defensive coordinator apparently are premature. CoachScoop.com is reporting -- at least, as of Thursday morning -- Oregon still is in the picture.
This seems like a good time to remind everyone that in the new media landscape, the first report isn't always right.
I find it fascinating that the Ducks still are in this thing, and apparently pitching hard.
If you're an Oregon fan, you have to be pleased for a couple reasons.
First, the Ducks aren't viewing this hire as on-the-job training.
