49ers assistant Clancy Pendergast will leave for USC
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, San Francisco 49ers inside linebackers coach Clancy Pendergast will be leaving to become the defensive coordinator for USC.
According to an earlier report by the
Los Angeles Daily News, Pendergast has resisted earlier courtships by the Trojans, but with the uncertainty surrounding the remaining 49ers coaching staff following the firing of head coach Jim Tomsula, he has decided to leave.
Pendergast, who is 48, was USC's defensive coordinator in 2013 and joined the 49ers coaching staff following Tomsula's hiring. He has also been a defensive coordinator for the Arizona Cardinals, Kansas City Chiefs, and the California Golden Bears.

Rookie wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk finished Sunday's game with seven catches for 75 yards and a touchdown. It wasn't nearly enough, though, to help carry his San Francisco 49ers to a victory over the heavily-favored New Orleans Saints. Still, the rookie continues to impress Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice.

"I have scored off that Sprint Right Option so many, many times," Rice explained. "What happens is, the second you come in motion, it determines if it's going to be man-to-man or it's going to be zone. If the guy goes with you, you
