Tim Floyd’s resignation letter to USC

Posted by Jeff Jorgensen on June 9, 2009

The Jackson Mississippi Clarion-Ledger obtained a copy of Tim Floyd’s resignation letter that he sent to USC AD Mike Garrett today. Floyd resigns amid controversy over an alleged payment of $1,000 given to a man to help persuade O.J. Mayo to come to USC.

The Letter:

“As of 1 p.m. today, I am resigning as head basketball coach at the University of Souithern California. I deeply appreciate the opportunity afforded me by the university, as well as the chance to know and work with some of the finest young men in college athletics. Unfortunately, I no longer feel I can offer the level of enthusiasm to my duties that is deserved by the university, my coaching staff, my players, their families, and the supporters of Southern Cal. I always promised my self and my family that if I ever felt I could no longer give my full enthusiasm to a job, that I should leave it to others who could. I intend to contact my coaching staff and my players in coming days and weeks to tell them how much each of them means to me. I wish the best to USC and to my successor.”
