"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; \"Chip, I'm coming for your Ducklings. They're so succulent. Do you like Chinese food?\" (AP)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We're still really hoping this Clancy Pendergast thing pans out for USC, because a name like that following \"Monte Kiffin\" makes writing Trojans football/&lt;i&gt;The Thorn Birds&lt;/i&gt; fan fiction that much easier. But until Lane Kiffin actually lands a defensive coordinator for 2013, we're going to have to work with what we have. And what we have, in this case, is Oregon defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti turning down the gig, per a report in &lt;i&gt;The Oregonian&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Trojans recently reached out to Aliotti, &lt;b&gt;who just completed his 21&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;st&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt; season as an Oregon assistant&lt;/b&gt;. He began his career as an Oregon graduate assistant in 1978; he became best known for coordinating the \"Gang Green\" defense that helped the Ducks reach the Rose Bowl after the 1994 season.\u00A0Aliotti's defenses have been overshadowed by Oregon's \"blur\" offense in recent years, though Kelly praised Aliotti and the defense virtually every chance he could.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That celebrated unit had its most alarming night of the 2012 season in the Coliseum last November, allowing the Trojans to amass 51 points and 615 net yards, albeit in a losing effort.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not having a duck in this race, we will cede control of this trenchant analytical effort to a highly scientific poll: Pac-12 fans, has USC lost face by asking for help from a conference rival? Or is plucking the carcass of the Kelly regime a jolly good time regardless of outcome, and a nice followup to Kelly trying to flip a USC commit less than a week before accepting the Eagles gig?\n[polldaddy poll=6837537]&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
