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.
