Palmer told DP he’s been involved on some level in the USC head coach hiring process, admitting that a list of candidates at this time involves coaches from Penn State ( James Franklin), Iowa State ( Matt Campbell), Cincinnati ( Luke Fickell), and even offered up Tomlin’s name as a ‘wild card.’ There’s a bunch of people that are in the discussion, and once we get to Week 16 or 17 of the NFL season and the college football season is over, we will have a direct front-runner.” DP: “Wow, that’s pretty spicy with Mike Tomlin there.” Carson: “Is that the first you’ve heard of that?” DP: “Yeah!” Carson: “Uh oh, oops!”įormer USC quarterback Carson Palmer went on The Dan Patrick Show on Monday dishing on the Southern Cal head coaching opening, going viral in the process when he mentioned Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin as a potential ‘front-runner’ for the job. There’s a lot of great options.” DP: “Has Mike Tomlin been discussed?” Carson: “I’m sure he has, I think anybody is a potential candidate right now and that’s what’s so great about the job, is it can lure an NFL guy in who is tired of their current situation and worried about ‘is Ben Roethlisberger gone? Is he done? Who are we going to draft? Does Mike Tomlin have to start over with a first round rookie quarterback?’ Everybody is on the table being that that job is so big and so coveted. If Mike Tomlin wants out…at the end of the day there’s not a direct ‘that’s the guy everyone’s pointing their fingers at’. I’ve been as involved as they’ll let me be.” DP: “Is James Franklin the front-runner as I’ve reported?” Carson: “I think there’s a lot of front-runners right now and that’s why I like where we’re sitting… You’ve got Penn State, you’ve got Iowa State, Cincinnati, you’ve got a wild card like Mike Tomlin.
