Pat Ruel
Golden Pat Ruel (born December 5, 1950) is the offensive line coach for the USC Trojans.
Ruel has 32 years of college and NFL coaching experience.
He lettered at offensive guard for University of Miami and received his B.S. in psychology in 1972 where he immediately became a graduate assistant coach in 1973. He and USC Head Coach Pete Carroll were both graduate assistants on the 1977 Arkansas Razorbacks football team.[1] Current Mississippi Head Coach Houston Nutt was also at Arkansas at the same time, as a backup quarterback.[1] Arkansas' Defensive Coordinator at the time, Monte Kiffin, would be a mentor to Carroll who would later have his son Lane Kiffin as his offensive coordinator at USC.[1] The Razorbacks won the 1978 Orange Bowl that season and Ruel would move on to a full-time position at Washington State University.
