The Trojans are set to begin game-week preparations for Penn State, with the 2017 Rose Bowl being just a week away. But it’s never too early to look ahead. The Reign of Troy mailbag this week looks at the coaching staff and some recruiting.
If you have a question for the mailbag, send it in to @ReignOfTroy on Twitter or via email to reignoftroy@fansided.com.
Let’s get started:
QUESTION: How important is it that the Trojans retain Clancy Pendergast and John Baxter? Are there other coaches to be concerned about? — Dave Cason
ANSWER: Given the fact that USC’s defense and special teams showed remarkable improvement and were areas of strength, it is very important that these two coaches are retained.
