You'd kmow better than I, but I have a really hard time believing USC has poor facilities.

They don't have 1 full sized football field to practice on next to their Gug, the John McKay Center and it's not a quick walk to the Coliseum.

Dan Mullen or Hugh Freeze.

Both have done wonders with nothing.

 

[ACamp1900]

Pat Fitzgerald seems a very real possibility... Sumlin could be realistic too.

 

[tussin]

I think Mullen would be a very good, stabilizing hire.

Gun to my head, I'd personally, as a nd fan, take mullen vs the field right now for them. Not a sexy name for recruiting and I'm not sold on him being a great coach just yet, I think he has had an exceptional qb the last 2 years.

Don't see Fitzgerald ever leaving Northwestern.

Brian Kelly to USC would be the funniest thing I would have ever encountered as being a ND fan.

I agree. I think that would be a relatively meh hire.

I just laughed out loud thinking about this message board if that were to happen.

Are people actually taking that article seriously? It's never happening.

 

[BobbyMac]

Not that I think the 'SC job is anything special, but.........

Santa Monica would be a 45-60 minute drive, even in traffic. Probably about the same for Marina Del Rey. Both of those locations would be nice to live in.

That's a long way each night after a 14 hour day. Just sayin'.

rumors went around that USC declined on Petersen, and it was also said that Petersen walked away and took Washington instead.

You lookin' for a... Dude...Seriously too huh?

Pat Fitzgerald seems a very real possibility... Sumlin could be realistic too.

Who knows about Fitz, seems like a square peg in a round hole job to me but Sumlin ain't leaving A&M for SC. It will never happen. He's not giving up a Ferrari for a IROC-Z.

True, but there are some stellar views in both areas, to refresh your mind with. It would almost be like living in a vacation rental at the beach. And I would imagine that most of his work in the offseason could be done from home.

Or........

He could take a page from the Joey Freshwater Bible, and find a hot local grad student to shack up with.

I'd bet the house an older coach would end up in Beverly Hills or Brentwood instead. I don't see a coach living in Santa Monica. It's a rat race with no privacy.

A younger coach... Santa Monica.

Oddly enough, Sark lived in Rolling Hills. His house was 20+ miles straight south down Crenshaw. That had to be an hour of white knuckle stop light, carjack heaven.

 

[NDOM]

Charlie Weis! Hahaha

 

[NDRock]

I just hope they don't hit a homer with this hire. With Harbaugh and Meyer making midwest recruiting more difficult I don't want another run of great USC teams to deal with.

 

[Irish Insanity]

Chip Kelly IMO

Please no.

Lol

Ten candidates to replace Steve Sarkisian at USC

As long as we can kick their ass this year on his way out I guess.

Brian Kelly to USC would be the funniest thing I would have ever encountered as being a ND fan.

We will then have to start a revisiting the revisiting Brian Kelly thread when he starts to kick our ass and turn USC in to what we all wanted him to do here.

 

[ND NYC]

so, is the interim HC there for rest of the year and with looking to hire someone during the traditional "Silly Season"...or is he looking to get someone in there right now?

timing of the hire will impact the candidate list IMO

 

[Irish Insanity]

Raiders coach Jack Del Rio and Rams coach Jeff Fisher both played at USC and have both been mentioned in the past as potential USC head coaches, although both seem like extreme long shots at this point.

Another possibility in the NFL is Bills offensive coordinator Greg Roman. Although Roman has never been a head coach at any level, he knows the Pac-12 well after working as an assistant to Jim Harbaugh at Stanford before Harbaugh brought Roman along to the 49ers.

So Chip Kelly and Brian Kelly but no R. Kelly?

 

[SoJerseyIrish]

Chip Kelly's isn't leaving the Eagles that quickly. He has full control, can just focus on football and not the recruiting and rubber chicken lunches and this season aside, has done pretty well given the talent on the team. Highly doubt he is going back to kissing 16 year old asses this quickly.

I know 2 things for sure. Hayden will screw up the hire and USC will still have a top 10 class. Hate them!!

 

[tko]

Pat Fitzgerald, really? He would get steam rolled by that lifestyle on the west coast. He's just perfect for NW.

It was 20 miles of white knuckle, stop and go driving because he didn't want to get a DUI, not the fear of getting jacked.

*too soon?

I can't embed from my phone but this was Brady Quinn's tweet today lol.

Stay with family, hire @MattLeinartQB as the next @uscfootball HC. twitter.com/brucefeldmancf…

Even though he seemed in over his head as a head coach in the NFL, how about Josh McDaniel? He's done pretty well in New England. SC has done well with Patriot coaches.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

I'm really hoping they hire Tyrone Willingham. He'd be perfect!

 

[TDHeysus]

Didn't they offer Peterson the job before Sark but he turned it down in favor of Washington?

I heard 2 things regarding this, one is that USC never really seriously interviewed Peterson as they were not going to offer him the spot. The interview was in essence, for show.

The other thing I heard, and this was kinda backed up with Peterson's on-field post-game interview last Thursday, was that the USC job has a lot of media commitments and a lot of 'off the field' commitments, and that Peterson isn't/wasn't that kinda coach, and he withdrew his name from consideration.


I think Sumlin to USC would be deadly; Sumlin could probably step in and almost instantly make USC that much more of an attractive destination. As long as they didn't make him conform to their beloved 'pro-style' offense, and let him bring in his style of offense. Sumlin would represent a 'new guard' to USC, and modernize their offense in the process as well.

 

[BoredIrish]

I'm hoping for Orgeron.

The USC faithful love him... which means he would suck for a full four years before they fired him.

That would be sweet.

Kyle Whittingham.
