USC recruiting and everything else

[Pete]

USC fans think Florida

That would be funny since he ran from Oklahoma since they joined the SEC and then he’d be running from SC since they joined the Big Ten

 

[SportsingHard]

Seems like a decent fit. Florida isn’t yearning for smash mouth football.

By year three, and without magic portals, Steve Spurrier took Duke to their most wins in 37 years. By year three, Lincoln Riley took USC to 7-6.

Florida fans aren't dumb, and from 1990 to 2020, they were second to only Ohio State in power conference winning percentage. As long as the entire state of Louisiana is run by morons, Florida is the best job available. They can do a lot better, and they know it.

I think all their commits were paid up front and would need to pay it back if they decommit

I know Riley has put some talented players in the NFL, but he hasn’t done shit since leaving Oklahoma. Curious why teams would be pushing hard to get him. Lack of options?

It’s closing time and all the >7s have left

 

[Jeffwantpoppers]

Gators visit South Bend in 2031. I think we can safely say Riley isn’t interested in that job.

 

[Dale]

If there is even 1 ounce of truth to it why the fuck does USC continue to support Lincoln’s apparent stance on the rivalry.

Buyout is 60 million. He's going nowhere.

 

[Wild Bill]

Buyout is 60 million. He's going nowhere.

If USC drops another game or two and doesn't make the playoffs, my guess is they would be happy to drastically reduce this or waive it entirely.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

as Offensive Coordinator?

I saw the suggestion (I think here) recently that Texas Tech would fire McGuire with a CFP miss and push for Lincoln.

Where did you see this suggested? TTU would be crazy to fire McGuire.

1) He's the only coach who's had a modicum of success since Mike Leach; nobody before him won more than 8 games since Leach, and 8 wins is a feat Kingsbury and Tuberville each accomplished once.

2) they'd be absolutely insane to enter this coaching carousel and expect to find better. Way more attractive jobs out there.

Is that if they fire him or if he walks?

I think USC would be happy if he left voluntarily at this point.

 

[DomeFieldAdvantage]

Buyout is 60 million. He's going nowhere.

The buyout if he is fired is different than the buyout if he chooses to leave.

 

[Huntr]

Buyout is 60 million. He's going nowhere.

That's if they fire him

His walk number is like $6 mill.

 

[SoIll]

If they fire him, correct. That's not a forgone conclusion that doesn't happen.

 

[rtrn2glory]

i'd be more worried about USC then LSU for MF tbh. the fact they're in the big ten makes it more of fit.

They believe Money + Blanchard is the main reason for success, not McGuire.

If he leaves and goes to USC.. With all due respect. He can get fucked.

 

[AKRowdy]

You think he wants to be back with Bowden after leaving us?

Raising 6 kids in LA is a great time

They need to start structuring these buyouts as our payment to get rid of you is the same as your buyout if you want to leave.

You want 1/2 your remaining salary if we can you, cool, you owe us 1/2 your remaining salary if you want to leave.

I know it won’t happen, but the discrepancies in these buyouts are ridiculous.

Plus he's seen the zombie apocalypse in downtown LA.
SC campus isn't that far from skid row.

It boggles my mind that schools keep signing up for some of these buyouts. I get they are worried they are going to miss out on "their next great head coach", but my god, having to pay 10's of millions of dollars to get rid of something is crazy train.

Yeah that's bizarre, as Sampson said if the issue USC has is traveling then you are going to travel again for a home game?

 

[NDPhilly]

Neutral site in Vegas would be pretty cool, can't lie

Inject this into my veins. For sure going if that happens.

 

[Irish du Nord]

I would hate that. Two of the nations’ most iconic stadiums and we go to this gray desert slop of a field.

 

[Bane]

"Slop of a field" and it's one of the nicest football stadiums in the country lol. I mean I can agree that the breaking of tradition is less preferable but Allegiant is legit.

I remember being somewhat concerned for BYU at Allegiant a few years back. Then I watched Jaren Hall throw a pass. Stadium is objectively nice
