In 2002, Carroll joined the USC Trojans football team staff as a graduate assistant under his father, Pete Carroll, who was then head coach. During his first season he worked with offense and special teams. During his second season on staff, he worked with the tight ends. In 2004, he became the full-time assistant coach in charge of tight ends. In 2007, in addition to his work as an assistant coach, he became the team's recruiting coordinator.[2] Also in 2007, Trojans tight end Fred Davis, who Brennan coached, won the John Mackey Award, which goes to the nation's top tight end. In February 2010, it was announced that the recently hired head coach Lane Kiffin would not retain Brennan Carroll.[3]
