LOS ANGELES -- Southern California has hired Deland McCullough to be its new running backs coach and run-game coordinator.
USC coach Clay Helton announced the hire Friday.
McCullough spent the past six years in the same job at Indiana. He played at Miami (Ohio) before a brief NFL career with Cincinnati and Philadelphia.
McCullough replaces Tommie Robinson, who left the Rose Bowl champion Trojans to join former USC coach Ed Orgeron at LSU.
McCullough inherits a deep stable of talent at USC, including 1,000-yard rusher Ronald Jones II and incoming freshman Stephen Carr, one of the nation's top high school prospects.
