The former Giants captain and Super Bowl-winning linebacker was announced yesterday as head football coach at Long Beach Polytechnic High School in his home state of California. Pierce, who played for Big Blue from 2005-2009, grew up in the area and played down the street at Paramount High School.

Anybody know if he still holds a grudge with UofA? I know he would announce Mt. San Antonio JC as his college on Monday Night Football introductions. I think it was good ol' Mackovic that rubbed him wrong. Was that bridge ever mended? Long Beach Poly is pretty much a farm team for USC anyway. Anybody they want out of there, they get.

I mentioned it on goazcats at least.
I don't think it's going to work well enough and while they do send kids to usc, I don't think they are steered way intentionally either. They just grow up as usc fans

I think the grudge largely went away when Stoops and Livengood left.
