Surely they give the new & improved Kiffin a chance again right?

If I'm USC, I go after James Franklin, Mullen, & Kiffin
Will Helton end up as interim at LSU?
Interesting.
They already fired Kiffen they're not going backwards.
Surely they hire Hugh Freeze, right?
If I'm USC, I call Mullen or James Franklin.
You can't go with flashy this time around. You need a hardcore football coach that will match Chip Kelly in physicality.
If they had fired him back on campus instead of outside the bus, I would be pretty pumped about him going back.
That said, they would be fools not to try and hire him. Not sure who else USC goes after;
I don't think USC is that type of program. Certainly they have the potential to poach Kiffin, but he's already making >$5M a year on average, which is I think is more than Helton was making. Even ignoring their history, I'm not sure Kiffin jumps ship without a raise and I'm not sure USC would open the pocket book that much.
I know Mullen has a tendency to be dissatisfied, and either Franklin or Mullen might like the idea of an easier path to the playoffs coming out of the Pac-12, but they're both making more than $6M.
That said, if USC took the step of firing somebody after a 1-1 start, maybe they have boosters ready to back up the brinks truck.
Better job: USC or LSU?
I feel like USC will go after Fickell, but I think that's a big mistake. Fickell may be awesome, but they can't afford another miss by hiring a non P5 head coach. They need to go after someone that has won in the Big conference
USC is just as likely to go after an NFL guy
Leach to USC. Joe Judge to MSU.
The starting quarterbacks for Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, Ole Miss, and Ohio State are from Los Angeles area. No one has more access to talent than USC, second is not even close. There are even more Los Angeles quarterbacks spread out in America. The two top high school football programs, in America, are in the Trinity League in Los Angeles. LSU does not have better access to talent, not close. The problem with USC is it is the University of Spoiled Children and it does not have to work for anything. Pete Carroll evolved the USC Football we now know. The university really does not care about football that much?
Pete Carroll was always an NFL guy. Also, Pete probably knew that the University was not aggressively defending itself in the Reggie Bush saga. Pete was correct because even when the official Court transcript published the NCAA admitting it had nothing on Reggie Bush, the University cared less and did not represent the football program. How would you feel about having Pat Haden a member of the USC board of trustees announcing for NBC Notre Dame games? Seattle paid Pete a lot more money and gave Pete primary say on NFL draft day. Until USC learns to love football like Mississippi State, do not expect much from its leadership.
USC is most likely going after an NFL guy or a coach that has ties to the West Coast. I don?t see them going for Mullen or Franklin. I don?t see Mullen leaving UF unless it?s for the NFL
If you go on youtube and watch Anaheim Mater Dei play Dallas Duncanville, you will see Mater Dei crucify one of Dallas's finest programs player per player across the board. Also if you youtube Los Angeles St John Bosco playing Miami Central, a top three Florida program, you will see Miami get crucified almost as bad. Both Florida and Texas teams defensive fronts were reduced to Pop Warner status player per player across the board by the opposition offensive lines.
What does Bert Stare have to say on the matter?**
WE NEED BERT.
If not Bert, I sure do miss Indian dude from India. He must be for having some extra Interwebs problems? Another cobra bite?
LOL, USC ain't going after Kiffin. Most of them didn't want him the first time. I have no idea who it will be but it won't be the Goat Boy.
