USC Players React On Twitter To The Departure Of Kennedy Polamalu

On Friday night, USC announced that running backs coach Kennedy Polamalu had been let go and would not return as an assistant coach to Troy in 2013. The move was a shock, as there was no reason the Trojans needed to let him go. He was not only the only Trojan on staff, but also one of the most motivational, passionate coaches that was hugely popular with the players.

Needless to say, once the players learned of this on Twitter, they were less than pleased:

Disappointed

If I used one word to describe Twitter reaction of former/current players to Polamalu reports, it wouldn’t be “happy.”
