SC fans played this dream coach game just two years ago. If one named a big NFL or NCAA coach, then that big name coach was apparently ready to fly to LAX later that day to join SC.
The reality is that Hollywood is not as dreamy as it appears in the movies, and USC football is not as dreamy as it was in the 1970s.Â
Almost every SEC program can compete dollar for dollar with SC on head coach salary. Additionally, those SEC coaches can pitch all kinds of products and services to the citizens of those states making even more money. The Big 12 and BigTen each have programs that can pay big money too.
Dozens of programs have better facilities.
And few programs require their staffs to endure LA style commutes. The areas around USC are not exactly dreamy for the families of the football coaching staff.
USC is a good job, but there are better opportunities for elite coaches.
