And clowns on here think USC is still good and would be a perfect fit for the Big Ten! 😆

Where have you gone Pete Carroll? USC turns its lonely eyes to you...honestly how hard can it be to be at least decently successful at USC? Talented kids move to Orange County from all over the country to play for the private schools there in the hopes of going to USC. Recruiting isn't even an issue.

Thamel puts Greg on wish-list lolol!


Well the USC AD was at Cincy beforehand and hired Fickell on the recommendation of Gene Smith. Not Fickell’s typical geography being in Ohio his whole career but USC does recruit itself like essentially. Just needs to toughen them up like Cincy.

Campbell would be a good name too.

What an odd list. The two you mentioned I guess make the most sense. Schiano, Franklin, Cristobal no way. RTB might jump but his wife loves it there and he may not be big enough, his team being unranked. Then a bunch of retreads, I don't know. Would think they'd be swinging for the fences, but they're a strange bunch over there. Had no interest in Orgeron when he was interim.

I think image and personality still matter at USC. So GS, Fickell, O’Brien would be bad choices. I could see Franklin there - he can recruit. Could also see Urban considering after he realizes he hates the NFL and he’s not good there.

Don’t you get that sense with Urban?! He always seems pissed and confused about how the NFL operates during his pressers.

Better than most other alternatives

Just like RU was based on the media market
Do you follow the issues with the PAC 12 network? They are making crap? Big difference. USC doesn't bring Rutgers money in.

“Perfect fit,” no, but they’re still one of the all-time greatest programs in college football.
Yet they no longer bring eyeballs to the TV or people buying a subscription. The PAC 12 TV Network is going to fold at the end of the contract IIRC in 2023. They are Nebraska 2.0. No one cares anymore.

That is a really poor analogy.

Nebraska is located in Nebraska so they have no hope of reaching anywhere near their level of past glory, USC is in a hugely popular warm weather location in a state with a large number of top recruits.

Dang ... dude has a 14-5 record coming into the Stanford game and he gets the ax? Seems a bit harsh. Wonder if there's something more to this than his record.

I suspect Schiano's name will come up with each and every college coaching opening that comes up for as long as he's at Rutgers.

Because the entire sports world thinks, "why would he want to coach at Rutgers when he could coach <list any school here>"??!!
