The Facts:
Late Tuesday night, ESPN.com, citing multiple sources, reported that Falcons owner Arthur Blank is pursuing USC coach Pete Carroll. ESPN's Outside the Lines is now reporting that Carroll and Blank will talk by telephone -- perhaps today. According to the initial story, the Falcons "might be willing to grant Carroll far-reaching responsibilities."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
If the Trojans' coach expresses interest, Carroll and Blank could meet this weekend, according to the story, which did not identify the sources. A former head coach with the New York Jets and New England Patriots, Carroll, 56, is 76-14 in seven seasons at Southern Cal. He has been courted by numerous NFL teams, but has stuck with the Trojans.
