Today at 1:00 p.m. PT, USC football coach Paul Hackett will stop by ESPN.com to chat about his second season at the helm of the Trojan program. Hackett, a one-time USC assistant who has been on coaching staffs that have won a college national championship and a Super Bowl, has made an immediate mark on the Trojan football program in his second run as the USC football coach. Hackett led the Trojans to an 8-5 record in 1998 and a berth in the Sun Bowl. This season the Trojans are 2-1.
Regarded as one of the game's most progressive offensive coaches, the 52-year-old Hackett has 30 years of experience as a college and professional assistant and head coach. He has tutored some of football's top players -- including Joe Montana, Marcus Allen, Jerry Rice, Andre Rison, Tony Dorsett, Steve Bartkowski, Charles White, Brian Sipe, Herschel Walker, Danny White, Dwight Clark and Vince Evans-and has been an assistant to head coaches as Bill Walsh, Tom Landry, Marty Schottenheimer and John Robinson. Before coming to Troy, Hackett was the offensive coordinator for five years at Kansas City for five years (1993-97), where the Chiefs advanced to the NFL playoffs four times during his tenure.
