USC Trojans (official thread)

[ScriptOhio]

James Franklins name is already getting tossed out for the job by talking heads.

Luke Fickell getting mentioned too.

Personally, I think they should give Joey Freshwater another chance......

With regard to Joey Freshwater to USC, I'm torn between my desire to have USC become a worthy adversary again, and wanting to see a clown show. Currently leaning towards clown show.

USC NEEDS A COACH AND HERE'S WHO VEGAS LIKES. With Clay Helton's nine lives finally up at Southern Cal, BetOnline.ag released odds for over a dozen candidates to become the program's next skipper. Leading the pack is someone we all know well, Luke Fickell.

COACH SCHOOL ODDS
LUKE FICKELL CINCINNATI 13/2
P.J. FLECK MINNESOTA 13/2
MARIO CRISTOBAL OREGON 7/1
MATT CAMPBELL IOWA STATE 15/2
URBAN MEYER JACKSONVILLE (NFL) 15/2
JAMES FRANKLIN PENN STATE 17/2
BOB STOOPS RETIRED 9/1
TONY ELLIOTT CLEMSON (OC) 9/1
CHRIS PETERSEN RETIRED 10/1
GARY PATTERSON TCU 10/1
JOE MOREHEAD OREGON (OC) 10/1
GREG SCHIANO RUTGERS 14/1
GRAHAM HARRELL USC (OC) 16/1
BILL O'BRIEN ALABAMA (OC) 19/1
JOE BRADY CAROLINA (NFL, OC) 20/1
LANE KIFFIN OLE MISS 26/1
MIKE GUNDY OKLAHOMA STATE 25/1

It's an interesting list, for sure. Fickell essentially said he was flattered and James Franklin doesn't even want his name mentioned, but it's one of the top jobs in college football, so if you're on USC's shortlist, you at least have to listen to the pitch, if for no other reason than to go back to your current school and get a raise, right?

Meh. USC looking for a head coach? When have I heard that before?



Since 2009, its been a revolving door....

Much to believe that he isn't going to pull a Brian "Purple" Kelly and bolt during the season. I don't think he wants to do that to his family mid-season.

Just hate to see it.

Just hate to see it.

But more than that, you love to see it.

OJ is available!

OJ is available!

If OJ we’re head coach, not many would survive the cuts.

 

[MaxBuck]

I think Franklin, Campbell, O'Brien and Bienemy constitute the short list. Fickell won't go there, and neither will Cristobal.

I've seen this guy (who would be a "home run" hire) mentioned too:

Bob Stoops, former Oklahoma Head Coach

While we know he would slash the roster, I also think the number of gash plays and stick routes would definitely be a little slice of heaven for the alumni.

Here's what I hate to see - those fuckers are always on our schedule just before the law catches up with them and they're off our schedule when nobody gives a shit about them.
