New Name Surfaces for Vacant USC RB Coach Position

According to 1400-AM The Team, current Texas A&M Running Backs Coach Randy Jordan has expressed interest in the available South Carolina Running Backs Coach position. The USC position came free when Jay Graham surprisingly bolted for his alma mater, Tennessee, on Tuesday. Jordan is still employed by Texas A&M but his future in College Station is in doubt because the Aggies fired their Head Coach, Mike Sherman, a couple of weeks ago.
Jordan grew up in Manson, NC and played at the University of North Carolina in the early 1990's. After graduating from UNC, Jordan played nine years in the NFL before getting into the college & pro coaching ranks. Jordan has coached in the NFL with the Oakland Raiders for one year, 2003. The Tarheel native then moved into the college coaching fraternity with stops at Nebraska (2004-2007) and then Texas A&M (2008-present).
IMHO Coach Spurrier has probably gotten a significant number of applications for the vacant spot on the Gamecocks coaching staff. I mean who wouldn't want to coach Marcus Lattimore or Brandon Wilds? Not sure if Randy Jordan is even a top candidate, but the former Tarheel football player is a native from North Carolina as was Jay Graham, and having coaching ties to the state of North Carolina is crucial for South Carolina to continue making headway into the border state to the North. There is a lot of talent in the Tarheel state so it would behoove Spurrier to add another coach to the Gamecocks program with strong ties to the Tarheel state.
