USC already used the " help us through the bad times and we'll reward you when the good times return."  The justifiable sacking of Lane Kiffin proves that the "bad times loyalty and leeway" promise is a manufactured delusion. Simply bait.  The coach will get slack as long as he's turning in minimum 10-2 seasons.    So, having witnessed USC ****ing in their own nest, what coach would buy that?  That leaves a pool of : 1) The out of work.  2) The delusionally ambitious  3) The available  4) The rare guy whose ability really does exceed his current resume.  And even the fourth type will constantly have to be protecting his flank against supporters who think he's not worthy of their stumbling program.  A dream job for sure.
